Cupcakes!

Want to party with me? Google Places is making it possible! 20 lucky readers will receive an invite to an all-inclusive "champagne and cupcakes" party with yours truly on Tuesday, August 16th at Gibson Bar. All you have to do is prove that you're as awesome as I think you all are by sending me your Google Places profile (find it by going to http://places.google.com/rate and clicking on your name) to amberdemurecontest@gmail.com. I'll pick the 20 users who have the most hilarious, creative, and informative reviews on Places to join me for a night of fun, Amber style. Google will cover the tab, and send us home with a few other surprises.

So get reviewing, and remember that the more reviews you write on Places, the better chance you have to get in on the party!

Thursday the 4th sip and nibble at the Edge Boutique Grand Opening from 6-9. Goodie Two Shoes is having a party of their own (it is 1st Thursday, after all).

Friday the 5th: head to Cheer Up Charlie's to catch queer comedy, short films, and otherwise an amazing night put on by Mouthfeel & Cinema East.

On Saturday the 6th you can catch even more films put on by Cinema East at "East Side Stories." At 6:30 you can catch a belly dance competition at The Scottish Rite Theater.

Sunday the 7th at 7:30 grab a blanket and catch a free symphony in the park. I bring a bottle when I go (and recommend it).
