Hey, the first REAL weekend of spring is THIS WEEKEND! The Creative Social Club is having a Meetup / Tweetup at Murasaki Chicago TONIGHT, 6 - 8 PM to CELEBRATE THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING. So far, over 70 people have signed up*. Murasaki Chicago is a classy, ubercool Westernized-but-genuine-Japanese lounge, and we have it all to ourselves for the first hour. We get our own disc jockey, Murasaki Chicago will be offering us drink and appetizer specials (tickets for drinks and appetizers will be sold at the event registration desk), and there is a separate, soundproof karaoke booth for all you crooners out there. People pay beaucoup bucks for that booth, but we get it for free during our Meetup / Tweetup! I will be using the flat-panel displays at Murasaki Chicago to present some creatively oriented conversation icebreakers for everyone. And we will be "skill raffling" off a pair of passes to Chicago's gleaming brand new deluxe ShowPlace ICON Theater!

The CELEBRATE SPRING Meetup / Tweetup is a terrific way to celebrate the arrival of spring. You can use our event as a "happy hour" springboard for your own activities later that evening, or you can stick around with those of us who will probably (974% probability) hang out somewhere downtown afterward. (Actually, we already have a few ideas on that.) Now, sign up!

*This Meetup was formerly branded as "Conversation Salon #2: Saturday Night Fever", but I get the feeling that some people are still being flummoxed by the term "conversation salon". Nevertheless, this event is being designed to stimulate conversations and will count as Conversation Salon #2. The same topics from previous communications (e.g., Saturday Night Fever and other John Travolta's films) will be used as conversation icebreakers. Just come and see!
