Media Inviting Local Bloggers: Most Blogged-About Game Of Four Square EVER in Mercury Parking Lot. Today at 5pm!

Posted by Matt Davis on Wed, Aug 29 at 11:03 AM

Local bloggers, consider this your conch call:CONCH: Haven’t you read LORD OF THE FLIES?…

So Katu is hosting its local blogger meet-up tonight at their studios, at 6.30pm, which happen to be on NE 21st, right opposite our offices! And by way of ~~shameless piggy-backing on top of other people’s promotional efforts~~ good ol’ fashioned Mercury hospitality, our general manager has offered to stump up free beer and snacks for the most blogged-about game of Four Square EVER today, 5pm, in the Mercury’s parking lot at 605 Ne 21st. Classy bash, eh?!

All you have to do is show up, have a beer, play Four Square, and blog about the game afterwards, which despite promising to be incredibly competitive (because let’s face it, bloggers are…) I shall inevitably triumph over, having practiced my serve for weeks. Then you can drift on over to Katu, have some more free alcohol and throw up in their edit suite. Just kidding.

In exchange we’ll let you photograph the dumpster in our parking lot, behind-which the homeless guy sometimes sleeps. Like I said; CLASSY. See you later!

Oh sure. Clever way to schedule this while I'm still at work. You fear me.

Actually, I have to skip it all anyway, because we're in the midst of a Red Sox/Yankees series.

I was a rad four square player in grade school, but got my ass kicked during my time as one of the Mercury's famous unpaid interns. But I've been practicing... You may just see me there.

DLS3: When I was an unpaid intern, they made me practice 4SQ for hours, and wouldn't let me start making them cups of tea until I could throw a "googley."

We'll have to have an "ex-intern-off!"

Oh you're on! When I was an intern they nixed the four square practice so I'd have time to type up Scott's interviews and make runs to the store to score Steve some chocolate. I was a REALLY big deal!

Back in the last century I was an excellent 4-square player and would to love to come over. But now it's another century and I whine when it's hot...so, probably you won't get to see this happen today.
So sad.

"score Steve some chocolate."

I just can't keep up with all the euphemisms the kids are using today.

ARRGHH! I clearly need to start reading Blogtown while I'm at work or something. Oh well, maybe next time.
