Maybe I should live blog it?
That would be awesome! You’ll have a great time, they’re always fun.
Cross-posts, etc very welcome as well. Spread the word!
Do participants need to be The Shebeen Club members
Nope, all it takes to join the Shebeen Club is just to show up and pay your $15 big ones. No need to rsvp first, and friends are welcome. The only thing is, no minors. It’s officially a pub license.
that’s a great idea! can’t wait to see how it comes together!
It was a pretty good evening, and now there’s a Tumblr, http://breakthespine.tumblr.com and a Facebook group, http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=69494434063&ref=ts
