BASE : Play With a Purpose

There are thousands of cool things to do, ideas to think about, and people to meet... but who's gonna connect the dots? Who can make it happen? BASE is that connection. It's about fun – mixed with purpose and passion. It's a community of interesting and diverse people who want to get "it" done - whatever "it" is.

Party Tomorrow


Remember when we went to Critical Hit Games and it was amazingly fun (and Lorin trounced you all at the werewolf game)? Now our fellow BASE-er Jerod is holding an even bigger party, back at his pre-flood location!

Business PM (party) at Critical Hit Games
Tomorrow: Thursday, January 22
4:30 - 6:30 p.m.
89 2nd Street, Coralville
Only $5 to get in if you're a Chamber member ($7 if you're not)

We'll be fully equipped with food from Yummy's Cakes and Wig & Pen, drinks, games and some new non-BASE friends. If you've never been to a Business PM before, or thought it wouldn't be awesome enough to match your rock-n-roll lifestyle, now is the time to see the error of your ways. You bring the rock. I'll bring the roll. Be there.

Maybe I'll even let you win this time.

BASE Third Thursday: January 15th at Gus'

Monthly Third Thursdays are back! Each month in '09 we'll meet in the evening on the Third Thursday of the month at a restaurant, coffee shop, bar or anyplace where it's fun and easy to just show up. The purpose? To hang out. This month, we're heading to Gus' in Coralville.

What: BASE Third Thursday
When: Thursday, January 15, 7 p.m. (We'll traditionally meet around 5:30 p.m., but we're making an exception this month).
Where: Gus' Food & Spirits, 2421 Coral Court, Coralville
Why: To hang out

Gus' has a little of everything! It's a sport bar with a 2,000 sq ft game room, which is where we'll be hanging out. Show off your skills at pool, shuffleboard, bags, darts and the Big Buck Hunter, Golden Tee and Silver Strike Bowling arcade games. If that's not enough to convince you, how about $1.75 domestic pints and Captain Morgan drinks and a $6.99 Chicken Parmesan dinner special? Still not sure about coming? If you stick around long enough you can belt out your favorite songs during Gus' karaoke blitz from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.

See you next week!

Help the auto industry! Watch footbal! Have fun!

Hey, BASE!

Happy New Year! So, the Hawkeyes won - go Hawks!

...But have you really gotten the excitement that is college football out of your system, not to be seen again for another eight months?

If not, BASE has a two-fer for you! In the spirit of aiding the slumping auto industry, we're going to do our part by celebrating the GMAC Bowl at the 2nd Annual Bad Bowl Party!

Yep, it's those titans of the gridiron, Ball State and Tulsa, squaring off in the 10th bowl dedicated to better car loan finance everywhere. The game is Tuesday, January 6th at 7:00 in the car oil metropolis of Mobile, AL.

BASE will do its part to bail out the economy by GMAC-ing it up at The Edge in Coralville. Come enjoy another great bowl game, good food and the company of fellow BASErs! They'll be holiday stories, trivia, and the AFLAC duck. Make sure to show your Cardinals or Golden Hurricane pride by dressing in your team colors and learning your fight song!

Again, the details:
2nd Annual Bad Bowl Party - The GMAC Bowl
Tuesday, January 6th, 7:00
The Edge, Coralville

Hope to see you there with your game face on!

-Your friends at BASE
