Kickball, Avondale Park

Posted on January 5, 2008 | Comments Off

Kickball makes its 2008 debut today out at Avondale Park. The folks are a little upset that the weather is supposed to be warmer since it would have been a great excuse for hot toddies. It’s simple, it’s fun and afterwards, it’s an excuse to hang out with folks over at Rojo on Highland.

Cost: $2 Location: Avondale Park, intersection of 5^th Avenue and 41^st Street South (directions)

So we’re going to have a little get-together

Posted on December 17, 2007 | Leave a comment

Terminal Red logo We figured that since everybody else was throwing a holiday party, why not the new kid on the block! Though we’re not quite as established as our fellow media outlets in town (read: no money), we thought it would be cool to swarm an area venue and give folks a chance to meet up and say hello before the holidays got away from us. So, this Thursday (December 20), 5 p.m. at The Bottletree, we’ll hope that some folks decide to come on out for Happy Hour!

We’ve got invites floating out there on Facebook, MySpace and Upcoming.org. Pass it along to others if you can. We realize it’s last minute so we may not see many folks, but we figured we’d give it a shot. If we don’t get a chance to say hello in person and pick up a t-shirt for a gift this holiday season (more on that later today), thanks for checking out the site. We really appreciate it.

The Terminal’s Holiday Get-together, The Bottletree

Posted on December 14, 2007 | Comments Off

So we finally decided that we should do something to celebrate the holiday season with our readers. We’re not rolling in as much dough as some may think, so it suddenly dawned on us that we should find something cool going on and ask our readers to swarm it.

We took a gander at The Bottletree’s calendar of events for next week and figured that Thursday’s planned Christmas comedy special themed evening would be perfect! Sort of a pay it forward to a venue that was very kind to us as we got started this year.

So if you haven’t figured out something else to do yet, come on over and say hi! If enough folks show up, you may even be able to get André to go against Greg in the Christmas carol duel to the death… well, maybe.

We’ll bring the box of Terminal Ts in case some folks are interested in purchasing one ($15 for the holidays – and yes, the price will be changed on the site for the shirts by tomorrow morning).

You know you’re thinking about it…

If you want to let us know you’re coming, click on one of these links and RSVP (you don’t really have to, but we’d love to know if you’re coming)

So you’ve procrastinated until the last possible minute to get a gift for someone and you don’t really know what to do or where to go. And you’re not planning on heading out to the PapaJohns.com Bowl. The folks over at The Bottletree have decided to help you get out of your predicament.

They’re letting folks bring in crafts or art to trade with each other (or purchase if you’d rather not share your artistic talent with others). It’s free to participate and it’ll give you yet another chance to try out their new menu!
