UPDATE 2-24-12: I sent out an email to all "Yes" RSVPs on Wednesday about where we are meeting - I think Meetup had some issues that day because my email was delayed by 2 hours, but I think that it may not have gone out to everyone. If you didn't get that email, just let me know today before 4pm and I will email you what I sent (send me an email). I have also added where we are meeting right below the venue name (look above this section). See you all tonight!!!

UPDATE #3: RSVP's are now closed and this event is SOLD OUT. I will send out an email on Wednesday to let you know where we will be meeting.

UPDATE #2: The list has been updated. If you were previously on the list and have purchased your ticket, send me an email before Feb 17. I will manually add you back to the list. I have a list of everyone that was previously on the list before I updated the RSVPs.

UPDATE #1: The link to purchase tickets is now available (in the description below). Please update your RSVPs by Sun Feb 12, 2012 to let me know you have purchased your ticket or you can answer the question posted to the event. I will update the list on that date.
