2005-06-06 : Urban Mixer Events Calendar

Hey Vancouver !

You want it, and you want it bad. To make sure you get it at least twice a week, stick raj@urbanmixer.com into your address book. What you do with it after is up to you; we're just trying to make sure our masterful missives go to the right box. That way they won't get diverted to your junk folder, (and forced to keep company with the other junkies).

EVENTS TO SUIT YOUR EVERY DESIRE

Okay, we exaggerated - you won't see us locking Katie and Brooke up in a cage and have them fight to the death any time soon, but we've covered almost every other possibility. Check the cool cats at the Social Empire event this Wednesday, for example, where you're bound to get better conversation (and more civility, for that matter,) than what Oprah got out of Tommy last month, that's for sure. They're holding it at a secret location, known only to Social Empire members. Don't worry, though - no free e-meters, secret handshakes or dark, solemn vows at this gig, just good, clean, interesting and social conversation. You, too, can join! Just hit the Empire up at http://www.socialempire.com.

When we're not out supporting our sister Empire, we've got our own thang going on. Like to rollerblade? Check! Like dinner parties? Check! Ever done the Grind? Check! How about river rafting? Check! Evening Mixers? Check! Speed Dating? Checkmate!

Don't just sit there... click, baby, click! Hit our events section and get in the know! Find out about all of our events coming up to keep you busy this summer right here!

A MESSAGE FROM THE... SLOW... TALKERS... OF... CANADA...

Okay, forget that. It's going to be a couple hours before I get that one written down... So instead, our message to you: It's quick and to the point - we figure out all of what's going on in the city so you don't have to. Of course, if you know of something that's going on, let us know - we looove the inside scoop and we're always looking for new secret agents.

If dig the idea of being a bona fide secret agent, simply 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.

TALK TO ME, BABY! EMAIL COMMENTS TO raj@urbanmixer.com!

Here is Vancouver's happeningest event calendar. If it's all too much and you can't take it all at once, just pick and click a day of the week on the right hand side of this email (in green) to read it one day at a time, rather than in a huge chunk. It's not the size: it's how you use it.

Like all modern singles, we've got ourselves online at http://www.urbanmixer.com. We're Urban Mixer: Surf Us! Just press with that little finger, right…over…here. AH!

Give us an email, a click, a forward even! We're not proud. Tell us about the fabulous time you had at one of our events. Send us some cellcam shots! Show us the cutie we missed last week because we had our nose buried in a martini! We'll show you ours if you'll show us yours...

Raj Taneja,
Führer of People Who Say "Turn That Frown Upside Down"

Urban Mixer Inline Skating , 11th and 12th, 2005


In-line skating is in season, and so are we. We know we look hot in those bondage-inspired wrist guards! And you can wear much skimpier clothing at ten mph because the net exposure to any pedestrian is factored over time…the faster you go, the faster you can look without getting arrested! Skating is the most fun you can have with (some of) your clothes on!

All skates start at the Yacht Lot, the marina parking lot at 500 block of Denman (one block north of [below] Georgia), near the Westin Bayshore. Bring your own skates or rent them close by from the rental shop on Denman. Helmets are mandatory. Yes, really. Wrist guards, knee pads, etc. are optional but recommended. Trust me, I’ve still got road rash from two years ago. Other than that, just be sure to swaddle your dangly bits and you’re good to go.

Intermediate skaters head out on Saturday, June 11th, 3:00PM. Starting from the Yacht Lot, we’ll wind around the Park to Second Beach and beyond (shades of Buzz Lightyear!) and do our afterpartying at Pacific Crab Co., the new Fat Burger on Denman or at Carlos and Buds depending on the mood of the group and who retains enough glucose in their brains to make a decision at that point.

Hardcore sk8erz head out on Sunday, June 12th, 4:00PM. We’re tough, we can take it, so we’ll go long and hard, looping Stanley Park, cruising past English Bay and winding down in Yaletown. We’ll hit the patio at LilyKate like she’s never been hit before. The infamous Silver Sage's Flame may be involved at some point in the festivities, and so may many tall “yes, just skated up from Tierra del Fuego with my buds” tales.

What: Intermediate Inline Skating
When
: Saturday, June 11th, 4:00PM.
Location: Stanley Park Parking Lot, 500 Denman Street, Vancouver (MAP)
Cost: $5 per person online before June 10th, $10 thereafter.
