March Event Madness [03.29.10 - 04.04.10]
Happy Monday – from the sight of it we’re in for one of those “spring showers” kind of week. Lucky for us, with Zombie Prom coming up this weekend, and iron cupcake Bacon contest today after work, this is shaping up to be a ridiculously zany week. I hope you have as much fun reading this event list as I had writing it up!
As usual, updates are made via twitter and here – I’m playing around with theme and title, so it looks a bit more “customized”– oooo…ahhh…:) Anyway, have a fantastic week and hope to sync up soon!
