April Showers Bring Chirp Parties [04.12.10 - 04.18.10]
To address last week’s MIA-status, and other general questions, I’ve drafted up an FAQ for your reading pleasure. Also appended is this week’s events list. As usual additional details will be added here, and tweeted about throughout the week. Enjoy!
FAQ
1. Hey, how come you didn’t send out an email last week? Um, I was sick. Then I was lazy. Then I was still sick. so i said fuck it.
2. Why don’t you include any events outside the city? Because anything south of caesar chavez feels contrived (from my perspective, at least)
3. I never RSVP’ed to the Tipsy Pig – I think it’s “sold out”. Ping me I have two tickets that I won’t be using.
4. I see that the Title of the blog changed to Mixer Mob – really? Yeah really. I’m playing around with the name
5. How come no “comment line” this week? I’m not feeling that witty this week.
