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...

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.
