Minglers Festivus... for the rest of us! December 21, 2012

It all started long, long ago in the land of Seinfeld …

FESTIVUS …FOR THE REST OF US!

FINALLY, a party in December about NOTHING…and you’re invited!
Join us on Friday, December 21st for our 3rd Annual Minglers Festivus!

This year is extra special! Minglers Festivus falls on, quite possibly…the end of the world as we know it! We’re going to party on the edge, at The Edge, like there’s no to-Maya!

Gather and rejoice in a little seasonal revelry with the Vancouver Minglers at the The Edge on Granville St. This fine and casual social grille is a cool breeze of sophistication and ease on the edge of Vancouver’s spicey Entertainment District. On Friday, December 21st, providing the world doesn’t end of course, “Festivus Miracles” will be born from our traditional “Festivus Pole”, the “Airing of Grievances”, and “Feats of Strength” are all ready to go.

If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space!

Hope to see you there!

Yaddayadda, cheers, Ingrid

Festivus 1st created & celebrated in 1966 by the O’Keefe family, was later brought to the attention of pop culture through Seinfeld screenwriter, Daniel O’Keefe. The hilarious TV show about nothing quickly adapted all aspects of Festivus. If it’s good enough for the Costanza’s its good of enough for the rest of us!

Tradition states that Festivus is not over until the head of the household (that’s me in this case) is defeated in a feat of strength by a person at the Festivus celebration chosen and challenged by moi (you should know, I have been training :~). But don’t worry, the person may decline if they have something else to do, such as eat, drink, mingle, yaddayadda…
