Classy tonight, Sizzle tomorrow

Hey BASE! Remember to stay classy tonight with us at the:

BASE Third Thursday
Today, February 19
6:00 p.m. 'til whenever
Coralville Marriott Hotel and Conference Center, River Bar (use Edgewater Grill entrance)
Just off of I-80 at Exit 242

And tomorrow, Tom Cilek and the Creative Economy "group" wants you to come be super hip at:

Friday Night Sizzle
Tomorrow, February 20
5:01 p.m.
Short's Burger and Shine (18 South Clinton, Iowa City)

What's the Creative Economy? Glad you asked. Basically, the idea is that people don't choose where they live based solely on where they can get a job, but based on a town's more creative aspects relating to quality of life. So, if we want to grow and improve our community, we have to commit to improving things like cultural arts, diversity, education and other community amenities. One step in doing this: connecting people. Friday Night sizzle, I imagine, will be kind of like BASE. No expectations or agenda. Just cool people thinking up cool ideas.

Still don't get this "creative economy" thing? Don't worry, the internet knows!

So remember:

Tonight: Classy
Tomorrow: Sizzle

Stay Classy Iowa City

Get your fancy on with BASE next Thursday at the oh-so-classy Marriott hotel.

In fancy-ness,

Your classy* friends at BASE

*Ok, so we're not really classy, but maybe if we stick our pinkies out while we sip martinis, no one will be the wiser. It's worth a try.
