Holiday Party 2.0
Hosted by Bub.blicio.us, AD-Village.com, Zinette Magazine, and S1 Management

12/4 11:18am: SEE NOTES BELOW RE: AFTERPARTY
Fa-la-la-la-la, where’s the holiday moolah?? Show me the money.
In the old days, it was “Let’s set aside $50 grand of our $12mm b-round and effen host a holiday party.”
While we WILL miss the carving station, Cirque du Soleil ballet dancers and gift baskets, we are in a borderline depression. Chin up ol’ sport!, because we are architecting a party — a holiday party where we make money, build awareness of our start-up and wow our partners and sponsors with 10x ROI on their $100-200 sponsorship.
Remember, anything worth doing is worth doing for money. Why should holiday partying be any different= We fully expect surprises to be laced between now and FRIDAY (yes, four short days away).
The party is Dec 5th, 7-9pm at Roe Restaurant (651 Howard St.) in San Francisco.

For the record, I texted you back Marissa about sponsoring last night. Give me a dollar amount. Yoono is in.
Adam, thanks for your message! My phone went haywire last night. Appreciate you co-hosting and Yoono sponsoring!
