mark your calendars

[Stephen Elliott]

Hey guys, I wanted to give you an early heads up for our Happy Baby launch party November 12 at the Makeout Room. You can't buy advance tickets yet but you can mark it on your calendar. I'll send another note when advance tickets become available.

What do porn stars, punk rock self-help gurus, musical legends, comedy, literature, yo-yos, and the movie Argo have in common?
