Has it really been a month since our last Tweetup?
You should know the drill by now-
This coming Thursday- August 21- the Harrisburg Bloggers/Twitterers/Social Networking gurus decend on the deck at The Abbey Bar at Appalachian Brewing Company in Harrisburg from 7 til (at least) 9PM and discuss everything from blogging to responsible media to local politics (and I’m sure there shall be some olympic discussion as well).
These meetups/Tweetups have been growing in attendance each month with last months being the best-attended to date.
If you write a blog, Twitter, social-network in any capacity, the doors are open. Come out, have a beer and some great food and get yer’ blog on.
(Public Calling Out: Dan Victor and Sara Bozich have both been in attendance of the Tweetups- and there’s a running bet about whether or not John Luciew and/or any of the “old school” Patriot News/PennLive contributors will show up. Time will tell…)
The first thing I thought of when my friend Dawn told me about this “hilarious new web-series” called Dr. Horrible was the They Might Be Giants song Mr. Horrible.
And strangely enough, the song Mr. Horrible would sync up perfectly with the theme of the new web-series Dr. Horrible.
Oh, you haven’t seen it yet?
It’s seriously one of those things that you have to give a few minutes to kick in…but it’s pretty damn funny.
Neil Patrick Harris (yup, Doogie Howser) plays a wanna-be evil superhero who meets his nemesis Captain Hammer and they wind up battling over the girl. (Spoiler: “The hammer is my penis”)
And it’s a great watch.
Act I is thirteen minutes long. Act II is about the same. And I simply cannot wait for Act III (which launches next week)
Dig it, dawgs.
My good friends Paul and Angie have opened their second 717 Tattoo location on Jonestown road- right near the Colonial Park Mall- and in celebration of today’s date (ahem…7/17) they’ll be giving away a free tattoo to anyone who wants some variation of the numbers 7-1-7 on their person.
Regardless of whether or not you want a 717 tattoo on your body, if you’re considering diving in and gettting some fresh ink, 717 Tattoo in Highspire or Harrisburg is my reccomended place to go.
In fact, I’m over due to get some more work done on my sleeve.
ANYWAY- here’s the official word from 717 Tattoo’s MySpace-
717 Tattoo will be hosting our 2nd annual 717 Day on July 17th, 2008 by giving away “717″ Tattoos all day by all of our artists.
Come celebrate with us with HARD derby girls, snacks, and free tattoos!We will be hosting it at our new shop in Harrisburg located at 4901 Jonestown Rd., Harrisburg, Pa 17109.
from: 12-9pm.
Derby girls will be there all day, please come out and support the girls, they will be doing some fund raising to get back on track!(pun)The free “717″ tattoos = tattoos that say 717. Thats why we put quotes around the 717 part. We’re not trying to trick anyone with promises of free sleeves or chest pieces…sorry people.
We will have a sheet of “717″s in the shop to choose from to make things easier for everyone and so we dont get geniuses coming in wanting 717 back pieces. Which honestly, if you really wanted that and you were of right mind….i’d probably do that for free. thats ridiculous.We will tattoo pretty much anywhere in any color except weenies/vag’s and eyelids. We will tattoo asses, but you’re gonna have to shave your own ass.thanks. we wont be willing to get near your butthole. Be nice to us.
We will not post images of the 717 tattoos that we’re going to make. Sorry guys, we’ll be making it the day before hand in whatever fonts we have on the computer. We are busy peoples!
It will be first come first serve, and please remember your I.D.’s. If you are under age you will need a photo ID for yourself and also your legal gaurdian with either a birth certificate with their name and yours on it and a photo ID.
we hope to see everyone there and if you have any more questions please feel free to contact us.
And here’s a sample of the mighty Ang- AKA Ella Trick’s fine work- (this is on my left forearm)
