A brutally cold Chicago night was a whole lot warmer at the Park West, 322 W. Armitage, on Sat., Feb. 9—and it wasn't just because of the heating system: Chicago Takes Off, a burlesque-centered benefit for HIV/AIDS agency Test Positive Aware Network, took place—with an 'Under a Big Top' theme. Two steamy shows, featuring more than 60 performers each, had the crowds begging for more.
