(Please RSVP) Details for our Swap Party - November 16th (Thursday) - in Chicago

SwapSimple - Free Live Swap Party, Thurs Nov 16th in Chicago!

Hi All,

We are having our first FREE live swap party right here in our hometown of Chicago, and you're invited! It will be nothing but free swapping to your hearts content from 7pm to Midnight, November 16th in Chicago.

Here's How It Will Work:
Show up with a bunch of books, DVDs, and video games you don't want. We'll take them at the door and give you tickets that will let you get other items people have brought. All remaining items at the end of the night that don't get swapped will be donated to Children's Memorial Hospitals. There will also be great door prizes, TV media coverage (so you just might get noticed), and just plain fun!

Children's Memorial is very excited about this event because many of the kids in the hospital play video games to pass the time. Please, please, please bring lots of games, and also if you have old video game systems and controllers, please bring them too - they need them.

This is going to be a great way to have a whole bunch of fun, get some things you want, and help a good cause too - and the beers don't hurt either.

RSVP and Venue Info:
Because this is being held at a bar, all attendees must be 21 . We'll be having another event soon for all ages, so don't worry.

Please send us an RSVP to let us know you are coming. If you want your friends to come also, which we strongly ENCOURAGE, please have them send an RSVP to us as well. Simply email us at contact@swapsimple.com, and include your full name in the email so we can add you to our RSVP list at at the door. RSVP's aren't vital, but they will just help us organize things a bit better.

About the Venue:
"The Hopleaf gets its name from a beer advertised outside taverns in Malta, the home country of proprietor Michael Roper's father. But the Hopleaf draws its inspiration, and its drafts, from another tiny European country: Belgium. Half of the bar's 200 beers come from there. "They're unique," says Roper. "The only place where old beer culture still lives is Belgium. A lot of them use wild yeast. A lot of them use wild fruits. There's a country of 6 million people with 1,000 beers."

As a further tribute to the brew, Hopleaf's walls are decorated with original beer posters from the 1920s, advertising Solanis, Biere Titan and other, predominantly German, brands. An expansion to the original space doubled the size of the tavern and added a private party room and kitchen.Their menu consists of typical Belgian bar fare -- think mussels, moules frites and sandwiches, including smoked duck and ham-and-Gruyere."


***Remember to RSVP, and stay tuned for more info.
