http://www.suntimes.com/n...front.html
More than 500 guests came to the wedding reception of “Star Wars” creator George Lucas and Chicago businesswoman Mellody Hobson on Saturday at Promontory Point, where Prince entertained the crowd. Guests were ferried from the West Side of Lake Shore Drive at 55th Street through a tunnel to Promontory Point on the lakefront. A specially constructed boardwalk lined with planters of purple and blue hydrangeas guided guests to the first room of a huge tent, according to a party guest.
Hobson and Lucas greeted guests, mostly Chicago and national corporate and political elite including: former Mayor Richard M. Daley; his brother, former White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley and his wife, Bernie; JP Morgan Chase Chairman and ex-Chicagoan Jamie Dimon; the Rev. Jesse Jackson; the Rev. Al Sharpton; Judd Malkin; Desiree Rogers; Linda Johnson Rice, and Chaz Ebert. The couple’s Hollywood friends and other well-known personalities also attended, including Robin Williams; Al Roker and his wife, Deborah Roberts; actor Andrew Shue; Graydon Carter; Gayle King; Tina Brown; Paul Begala, and film director Chris Columbus. After cocktails, a huge doorway opened to the main “ballroom” — a huge, column-lined venue with multiple buffet lines and bars. The Gentlemen of Leisure band kept the 500 to 700 guests moving on a dance floor . ------------------- One of the highlights of the evening occurred when curtains parted to reveal a stage with Prince and his 22-piece orchestra and backup singers, who entertained guests for more than 90 minutes, according to a party guest.-------------------
