Wondering if anyone in my family cares that I register the username "bleikamp" for everything

Well, I feel really shitty that I'm leaving all of you wonderful people, so I felt that the only proper thing to do is to go to the shittiest bars in San Francisco, on a Tuesday night (which happens to be my last day of work in SF). Come to one, come to all of them, I'd love to see as many of you as possible!

Here's the agenda...

*horns*

Dear Sirs and Madams,

The next illustrious Design/UX Happy Hour will be at Sept 27th at St. St. Stephens Green in MTV: http://www.uxhappyhour.com/sv

You can talk to others if you choose to, and maybe even chat about design or research, but the only thing that is actually required for this event is drinking. Unfortunately, this event...

Same thing: come, drink (or don't), hang out with cool people who you almost certainly have something in common with, laugh, etc.

Side note: 2 months in a row on the 3rd Thursday. Pretty sure this is the first time we've successfully done that. WE'RE VERY ORGANIZED.

We moved into a new office back at the end of May, and it took us a little while to settle in. Thanks to the stellar design team at Design Blitz, we're finally ready to reveal our kick ass new office!

PLEASE RSVP HERE: http://guestlistapp.com/events/67395

Come join us on Thursday night for delicious food, drinks, music, and general...

Come drink with designers and other cool people. No idea why we still call this thing Design Lunch.

We're going back to 15 Romolo because they make some amazing bourbon drink that we like.

We're being lazy again and have no sponsor. If you or your amazing start up wants to sponsor, tell us. We'd be way excited.

Celebrating the things I've managed to get done in my first quarter century. If it's not out of your way, come cheers me for being 25!

Feel free to invite all those people that I kind of know through you. Yeah, that girl. I love her.

Since SF has rudely kicked us out and told us not to come back, Kealie and I are leaving permanently this Sunday. (For those of you who don't know, we had a fire in our place.)

Unrelated to our leaving, my coworker (thanks chisel!) has arranged to have a bunch of folks descend on Sip Bar & Lounge in North Beach this Thursday, including...

Since we're lazy and never find sponsors, you get to pay for your own drinks. But you also get to talk to some cool people.

UPDATE: Drinks on Liftopia!

Drinks, Games, and of course talking about Ohio things that no one else gets.

Come by Yelp HQ to hear Adam Mosseri presenting on how, at Facebook, design is 'informed' by data, and not the sole driver.   Hear a great speaker, pour a beer from the Yelp Kegmate, and hang out with designers and product managers from companies around the Bay Area.

Two location apps, a whole bunch of free drinks. Prep your liver for SXSW with free cocktails on Wed Mar 9 from 6-8 pm @25 Lusk (off Townsend btw 3rd & 4th) - courtesy of Yobongo & Ask Around. RSVP on Facebook.

We have almost 200 members now, so come celebrate Thursday night 2/24 at 9pm with another friendly Startup Poker game!

Where: SOMAcentral -- 153 Townsend st, 9th floor, San Francisco, CA (SoMa, right near the ballpark)

When: 9pm 2/24

Why: Get to know your startup community via a totally friendly game -- come even if you haven't played much...

Foodspotting is turning one, we're dubbing it World Foodspotting Day and we'd love everyone to celebrate with us.

Swing by for street snacks like okonomiyaki and takoyaki - from which the idea for Foodspotting was born. There will also be drinks and fun mingling.

All are welcome.

And if you're not in the area, join (or host) one...

EVENT REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED -

We're in a tiny loft, so if you hadn't RSVP'd by Tuesday, 12/14 by 5pm PT, you're not on our official guest list.

Thanks!
Fiona & Team Foodspotting
