Sorry, I forgot to add this to the post yesterday. This is the code for our discounted block.
I know! When she asked me what the block was for, I actually said “a tweetup” with a straight face! Embracing my inner nerd like a fucking boss!
2nd annual MITU will be held the weekend of September 21-23, with the main event being Saturday night. This is the middle weekend of Art Prize so there will be a gazillion neat things to see and do downtown - plus free museum admissions all weekend. Free museum admissions means more money for beer.
The hotel is cheaper and nicer than the place I picked last year. I’ve got a block of rooms available at a discounted rate up to a month before the event. It’s a busy time in Grand Rapids with Art Prize going on so hotels fill up fast. Get your room early.
The venue is amazing and they serve beer in mason jars. Mason jars. Mason jars full of beer, people! Like I wasn’t going to pick it based on that alone.
I’ve got local help this time around so, already it’s looking like it’s going to be a better, more kick ass event. And if it sucks, I’m blaming them.
We’re working on Friday night festivities as well as dinner/lunch/breakfast spots. This year is going to be awesome. RSVP here. I can’t wait to see everyone!
They’re happening, people! If you’re not on the list, get there! If you’re on the list and unfortunately can’t make it, please take your name down so we don’t make unneeded nametags.
Hotel - fully booked so if you didn’t get a room yet, let me know and I can try to get you a room at a hotel nearby.
Venue - Saturday night - 7:00
Breakfast - Sunday morning - 9:50
And seriously, if you can’t find something fun to do to fill the hours in between, you’re doing it wrong.
After cocktails in the lounge Friday night, we can stumble down the street to Mojo’s. Dueling pianos. Need I say more?
A suitable trough to fill our hungover faces has been chosen. They do not accept reservations, however if we arrive at approximately 9:50, the lovely hostess will open up the banquet room for us. So get there on time so we may all gaze into the blood-shot eyes of each other and recall the debauchery of the night before. Otherwise you tardy nerds will be eating in your cars.
That moment you find out the venue you just put a deposit on for the main event is known as a cougar bar.
