Hey Vancouver !

Can you read me…am I coming in clear…? If this email is messed up, you can always check it out online at http://www.urbanmixer.com/newsletters and drop us a line about the problem. We’re here to serve, and we have to have something to do in the mornings when we're hungover.

Here’s your Urban Mixer events calendar for Monday, April 11th, 2005, a personalized list of Vancouver’s hottest events and hippest happenings. Our secret agents are always on the prowl, digging through people's daytimers when they're not looking (sorry Paris...) for hints on what's cool in town so you can have kickass plans for a social week. Drop me a line and let me know what you think…or what you don't think... or heck, just drop me a line!

If you want to be an Urban Mixer Secret Agent, be the first to send us the 411 on a wild and/or wicked happening and win an all-cotton (Raj tested, mother approved) Urban Mixer T-Shirt. Here’s a list of my personal picks for this week, links included. And remember to always surf safe!

EVENING MIXER NEXT WEEK!

Mark your calendars: our first Evening Mixer of the 2005 season and we're doing it at Enigma. It's about time, huh? Well, click here to RSVP soon, spots are going like hotcakes! See you there!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!

Help bring the 2007 FIFA World Youth Championship (WYC) to Vancouver. Vote by April 13th!

The World Youth Championship is the teen version of soccer's World Cup, featuring 24 countries in 52 matches. What's set is that it will run from July 1 to July 22, 2007 in six different Canadian cities, including Toronto and Edmonton. What's up to you is whether or not it comes to Vancouver. There are eleven cities in the running for four slots.

What you might get out of it: If you vote and Vancouver is selected, you'll win priority on ticket purchases for all matches in Vancouver. Think of it as having your PA line up early.

Ever wonder why it is so hard to meet people in Vancouver? Well, we have decided that enough is enough! On select days from 5pm to 9pm Urban Mixer will be holding an after work event.

Come by after the workday is over and have a beer, a cocktail, or whatever suits you. Meet up with your friends, make new ones and generally just hang out. You can kick your feet up and relax, knowing that during the week there is a friendly place to go. Let’s make Vancouver the friendliest place to live in Canada. Come by yourself or with a group, it doesn’t matter one way or the other. Urban Mixers, select days from 5pm onwards. Food will be served!

Space is limited. To gain entry, please RSVP online to secure your space. A ten dollar (paid online) admission covers appetizers and drink specials. Fifteen bucks at the door. Click here to add the event to your calendar.
