Update August 25th: The cool kids over at The Weekly Surge are throwing a party at The Boathouse this Friday.

The details are on this Facebook event page. If you're a diligent reader, you can also find out how to get some VIP treatment (read: free booze) at the bash. I've attended a Surge birthday party in the past and really regret I'll be out of town for this one.

First Report: Has it been 5 years already? Sheesh.

We wanted to congratulate our friends over at The Weekly Surge for celebrating their 5 year birthday. Most ventures fail within the first year or so. To beat that statistic five fold is comendable and something we aspire to in our little corner of the Internet.

You can pick up the print edition of the Surge all over town. Here's some highlights from this week's issue you should definitely check out...
