Exclamation Chicago nightlife: SoundBar (7 pictures)

Took my camera to one of Chicago's hottest nightclubs (I was actually covering for a friend who shoots stuff like this... I got in for free and got free drinks ).
It's smokey, hot, crowded, dark, and busy as hell, but I managed to get a few shots.

Here are some:

Awesome shots. I dunno if you noticed or if anybody else agrees, but the chick in the first shot looks a little like urma thurman. Think number 3 is the best

Hmm, You've captured some pretty interesting stuff here Chris, but #3 ROCKS as a lounge style portrait.

Excellent, well done. I don't see the big deal about number 3, seems a little dark to me...but number 5 and 7 are incredible. 5 jumps out at you, and 7 is very well done.

Thank you for the comments folks, glad you like them

boggerg, those shots were taken with my rebel + 50mm1.8 (some with the 17-40) and 550EX

Mills, thanks . I've been 21 for almost a month now . I wouldn't even try to get inside a place like that otherwise.
