Hello, beautiful 312 Do-ers! My name is Annie, and I’m the new Content Manager at Do312. I figured I should introduce myself before I start pushing my personal agenda into your inbox.

A little about me: I’m a Chicago native, club kid, rugby player, Dungeons & Dragons newbie, and a recovering full-time freelance graphic designer. I’ve also spent the better part of the last six years producing events and working in Chicago’s nightlife and hospitality scene. A pretty well-rounded individual… or at least whatever the opposite of being a square would be.

…Which brings me to a gorgeous, familiar face! This week’s guide comes from none other than Lynzo the Heartthrob, a Chicago club icon I’ve had the pleasure of crossing paths with countless times. It feels good to know that getting a desk job doesn’t mean escaping the usual suspects. Not that I’d ever want to.

Lynzo’s put together a fall Saturday itinerary featuring hot yoga, Ivy Hall, delicious eats, seasonal sips, and a little ghost hunting. Explore the guide and enter to win a $250 Visa gift card, $50 Ivy Hall credit, and a complimentary 10-Day Unlimited Pass from Hot Ritual Yoga.

LOCAL’S LIST: ANNIE ANDREWS’ ADVICE IS ALL YOU NEED

DoStuffer Amélia J chatted with Annie about why she loves Chicago, how being a local influencer has changed things for her, what she'd like to see more of, and her go-to spots. Amélia found that once you sift through all the belly laughs and knee slaps in Annie's content, there's a perfect list of where to go and what to do in Chicago (starting with my favorite club/bartending job of all time, ranked at number one).
