With the holidays upon us, I thought it would be nice for our December gathering to be a nice light holiday-themed get-together.

Many thanks to Derek Johnson of Derek Media / Tatango for graciously allowing us to use their brand new offices to host the party! You can check out the venue here in a video Derek posted: Tatango/Derek Media new location

This will be a BYOB event, and we'd ask you to bring an appetizer to share as well. Get as creative as you'd like & let us know what you can bring. Check below for what others are bringing so we have a good variety of refreshments.

Some thoughts:

• We tried live-streaming the last gathering. I don't think it was the right setting for doing so, however I wanted to get some thoughts on having a livestream station where you could sit down and send a holiday greeting from the party. Thoughts?
• What about an ugly Christmas sweater contest? Let's see who can wear the most outrageous Christmas sweater...
• Any other suggestions? List 'em in your registration!

Parking: looks like there's off-street parking near the Tatango building (it's red with a big 114 on the side), and after 6pm metered parking spots are free. Best chance at finding a spot will be to park on Railroad which is half a block down from the offices.

PS: there are a TON of people coming tonight - perhaps consider ridesharing to accommodate parking for everyone? I'd also recommend designating a driver ahead of time if you plan on partaking of the alcoholic beverages. No drinkin' and drivin' here!! :)
