"SwapSimple Live" Free Swap Party November 16th - in Chicago!!! Everyone is invited, so bring your friends!
Hi everyone,
We thought it would be fun to have a big live-swap party - so we're actually doing it!
It will be in Chicago, on November 16th (that's a Thursday). There will be books, DVDs, video games, and all kinds of other stuff to swap. Come with a bag full of swap items, and see what you can swap for them. There will also be contests, and giveaways!
I don't have all the details yet, as we are trying to get Children's Memorial Hospital and a few other local groups there to accept items as donations (items that don't get swapped), but for now, remember to save the date November 16th.
We also do have a location. It will be at the Hopleaf tavern, in our own private room. Below is a description of the venue, and a link to their website, and a map.
Stay tuned for more info on the party over the next couple of days. Also, please leave feedback here or in the forums for any ideas you have that may make the event even more fun. We will be taking RSVP's for the party real soon, so get ready...
Venue info:
"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."
