The Chicago premiere of HBO's second season of "Crashing" was hosted by The A.V. Club at the Blu Dot modern-furniture store.
A furniture story was the perfect setting for the "Crashing" premiere, a show that follows the struggling comedian Pete (Pete Holmes) as he tries to make it in New York City's standup scene — and spends lots of nights crashing on friends' couches.
