It's December.
Time for all those boring, typical, and "Oh, I can't believe I have to go to another holiday party" gatherings.
No worries; not this one!
This isn't your run-of-the-mill holiday gathering...
This is an event where will we will raucously celebrate all we accomplished in 2009, toast a kickass 2010, and revel in being at the hippest party in town - and in great company!
This is a tweetup, so there is no charge to attend.
We will include a champagne tasting for $15 - with free tapas - as part of what will make this evening really special.
So, join the coolest crowd around, and we'll thumb our noses at all those sipping tea and eating Frosty cookies...

Hope you can figure it out. You won't want to miss this one!
I am sure old school tunes were already requested but I always rock out with my boys from the Violent Femmes, Black Flag, The Ramones. Later faves include The Donnas, Blink 182 and Green Day, fo' sho'!
Oh yeah, all good stuff. Have added these to the list...
Debbie Gibson was the greatest. Ok, maybe not
Then again, an argument could be made for 2005 
Debbie Gibson? For that, you owe everyone a round...
http://blog.listen.com/scenes/…ion-for-688/ this is a great story of Atlanta punk history and also an excellent example of blog comment spam. If you blog then use a spam blocker like the Akismet plugin to nix this poo.

Well, Stephanie Lloyd is coming with a blue mohawk thing... Should be pretty interesting...

Um, no she is not...
Well, those tight leather pants you were planning won't work as well without it...
