If you’re in NYC and, like me, feel that all your daily dietary requirements can be derived from martinis and pizza, you should come and check out Pause, Beyond Madison Avenue’s creative industries’ happy hour tomorrow night at Pizza Bar. BMA and Pause are projects spearheaded by a regular commenter here, Danny Nathan, and tomorrow is sure to be a lot of fun — not to mention the pizza/beer/martini specials going on. Danny told me it starts when people get there and in my case, that’ll be around 5:30pm…so come down, say hi and do a little networking. Just don’t forget to répondez s’il vous plaît.

(Pizza Bar is located on 14th Street and 9th Avenue.)

Yesterday, a friend of mine said something along the lines of, “Boulder is the new Seattle, just with more snow.” I wish she had just been referring to an overstock of fresh seafood at Wholefoods, but what she really meant was “Wow, this weather is depressing.” Don’t get me wrong, I love snow, and the sun IS out today, but somethings gotta happen to get the ‘three OH three’ off of their couches and out of their slippery driveways. Because we’re pretty laid back ourselves, we’ll give you a week to crawl out of your cocoons, but once the clock hits seven next Friday night (2/9) you’d better be on your way to White Hills, where our talented friends over at table2press will be throwing a party. Turns out t2p just passed the 50 poster mark, which is definitely something to celebrate when your posters are that close to perfection. Big Diffy (from MilkBaby) will be throwing down beats, t2p’s delicious print work will be covering the walls, pottery by Dovetail will be up for looksies, and, of course, they’ll be plenty of wine and PBR to get the party started. According to the weather channel we’ll be looking at a high of 41 that day, so no excuses, Boulder– GO!

The good folks over at Core77 recently relaunched Coroflot– a career and community site for creative professionals. If you’re an artist or designer it’s an awesome place to build and promote your creative portfolio and check databases of job and project openings. The new site has a fresh look and a handful of new features like unlimited uploads, image tagging, networking options and even personalized job alerts. The best part? It’s 100% free for an artist to create a portfolio here and expose their talent to the world. Also make sure to check out the Corospy, an impressive real-time feed of the sites activity!
