FESTIVUS …FOR THE REST OF US!

FINALLY, a party in December about NOTHING…and you’re invited!
Join us on Friday, December 21st for our 3rd Annual Minglers Festivus!

This year is extra special! Minglers Festivus falls on, quite possibly…the end of the world as we know it! We’re going to party on the edge, at The Edge, like there’s no to-Maya!

Gather and rejoice in a little seasonal revelry with the Vancouver Minglers at the The Edge on Granville St. This fine and casual social grille is a cool breeze of sophistication and ease on the edge of Vancouver’s spicey Entertainment District. On Friday, December 21st, providing the world doesn’t end of course, “Festivus Miracles” will be born from our traditional “Festivus Pole”, the “Airing of Grievances”, and “Feats of Strength” are all ready to go.

If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space!

Hope to see you there!

WHAT: Minglers Festivus…for the rest of us!
WHERE: The Edge, 1100 Granville St. (@ Helmlecken)
Follow The Edge on Twitter. Visit and like ‘em at Facebook too!
WHEN: Friday, December 21st TIME: 5:pm – 8:pm
WHY: No particular reason, a quirky excuse to throw a party. BUT it is Winter Solstice and it may be your last really fun party before the world ends, according to the Mayan Calendar. So come out and ‘kick- the-can’ with the Vancouver Minglers, before you have to make all the obligitory Christmas rounds with the family.
ADMISSION: $10. 100% of proceeds to The Human Fund, “money for people.”
INCLUDES: Complimentary passed canapés and door prizes.
YES: We’ll have our annual Turkey Draw – proceeds to The Union Gospel Mission
DRESS: Fun, Foxy, Festive, Fabulous!
WHAT TO BRING: A BIG smile and a great attitude!
A little marble rye, Junior Mints, Pez, Juicy Fruit and some muffin tops wouldn’t hurt.
PARKING: Metered street parking and lots close by. Best of all walk, taxi or limo.
Enjoy life, drink responsibly. “Birds with wet feathers do not fly at night!”
RSVP: Not absolutely necessary, BUT most appreciated! Yes please, www.vancouverminglers.com

Yaddayadda, cheers, Ingrid

Festivus 1st created & celebrated in 1966 by the O’Keefe family, was later brought to the attention of pop culture through Seinfeld screenwriter, Daniel O’Keefe. The hilarious TV show about nothing quickly adapted all aspects of Festivus. If it’s good enough for the Costanza’s its good of enough for the rest of us!

Tradition states that Festivus is not over until the head of the household (that’s me in this case) is defeated in a feat of strength by a person at the Festivus celebration chosen and challenged by moi (you should know, I have been training :~). But don’t worry, the person may decline if they have something else to do, such as eat, drink, mingle, yaddayadda…
