The TLTeam Met & Greeted at The Fifty/50

On March 3, 2011, the Local Tourist’s Contributors gathered at The Fifty/50 to meet their fans and make new ones. Cocktails were provided by Reyka vodka, guests received goody bags filled with popchips, Reyka t-shirts, and offers from local businesses. Singer/songwriter David Kav even put a CD in the bags and Jon-David offered 20% off his novel, Mafia Hairdresser! The night was a great success, but don’t just take my word for it; see what our guests had to say:
