Phoenix Friday Night » #pfn (all of ‘em)

7/30 > It’s a party in a grocery store! #evfn at Whole Foods in Chandler

Evo Terra — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 02:23:31 +0000

WHEN: Friday, July 20th from 6-8p

WHERE: Whole Foods Tapas Bar
2955 W Ray Rd
Chandler, AZ

WHY: It’s the final Friday, and that means that Whole Foods is once again hosting #evfn. Don’t think grocery store. Think the best kept secret in Phoenix. Think tapas bar. Think outstanding beers on tap. And every other beer imaginable. Think great wines by the glass. And then you can think about it being inside of a grocery store. How cool is this? Very, very cool.

Some folks calls it a tweetup. I calls it an #evfn. Remember the agenda: no agenda. Have fun. Meet people. Party on!

7/23 > Wine and Dine Take Two! – #evfn at Il Vinaio in Mesa

Evo Terra — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:24:54 +0000

WHEN: Friday, July 23rd 6-8p

WHERE: Il Vinaio
270 W Main St
Mesa, Arizona 85201

WHY: Sometimes the cards are stacked against us. Take the first time we tried to try out Il Vinaio. That night was stacked up against some serious competition, so only a handful of people were able to experience it. So we’re going back, and we’re fairly certain (?) that there isn’t anything major conflicting. RIGHT?

Some come on out. We’ll get treated like royalty and you can check out a new cool and happening place in the east valley. With us!

It’s a mass #fn party. #dtfn & #wvfn will join #nfvn with #evfn at Primebar in Scottsdale

Evo Terra — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:57:18 +0000

WHEN: Friday, July 16th from 6-8p

WHERE: Primebar
15037 N Scottsdale Road
Scottsdale AZ 85260

It’s a mass #fn party! Details on #evfn’s post. See you all there!

7/16 > When #evfn, #nvfn, #wvfn & #dtfn collide – Primebar in Scottsdale

Evo Terra — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:52:29 +0000

WHEN: Friday, July 16th from 6-8p

WHERE: Primebar
15037 N Scottsdale Road
Scottsdale AZ 85260

WHY: On occasion, we like to take the “east” in our name seriously. This week is one of those. We’re headed up north, but very much on the east side of this big-ass city. We’ve been invited to Primebar, enticed with drink specials and other goodies. This place has only been open a few weeks, and they want us to test out their ability to handle a crowd. No worries. A crowd we have.

In fact, it’s a bigger crowd than usual. The fine folks from our sister group #nfvn are also joining us. I really enjoy the chance to hang out with other #pfn groups — here’s another chance!

UPDATE:Looks like the others didn’t want left out in the cold either! The down-towners from #dtfn and the west-siders from #wvfn have also decided this is the place to be. Now if we can just revive #lrfn and get them there, it’ll be one big happy family!

Some folks calls it a tweetup. I calls it an #evfn. Remember the agenda: no agenda. Have fun. Meet people. Party on!

Come for the Asian fare, stay for the open mic – #evfn 7/9 at Siracha

tdhurst — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 03:00:29 +0000

WHEN: Friday, July 9, 6-8pm

WHERE: Siracha
91 West Boston Street
Chandler, AZ

WHY: You’ve probably heard of the Gangplank move by now. If not, Gangplank moved to downtown Chandler. The sole employee of said tech incubator and collaborative workspace has planned an open mic night this Friday at 8pm. So we’re going to head down to eat and drink at Siracha before that. Derek Neighbors has assured me that the manager Virakon will take good care of us.

If you want to head to the open mic after, feel free. If you’re not quite ready to give up the night life, there are plenty of bar-type options available in downtown Chandler.

#evfn is a weekly social gathering organized via the webbernets — but it happens in real life! It stands for East Valley Friday Nights and yes, you are invited. Well, if you’re going to be in the greater Phoenix area on a Friday night, that is…

Want to wrangle #evfn this Friday, 7/9?

Evo Terra — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 23:58:46 +0000

So… it turns out that your Awesome Organizers of #evfn will all be out of town this coming Friday, July 9th. We reached out to a few stand-by hosts, but all of them have prior engagements.

We’ve got places lined up for the rest of the month, but we’re currently shy a place and a wrangler for this coming Friday. That means one of two things:

You’re on your own. Hey, I’m sure you can find some place to drink and eat all by your selves.
Someone needs to step up. Fast. I’m out of town starting tomorrow with shaky interweb access, which will make it tough to post. So if you want it. Take it. Tonight.

Stay tuned for updates, if there are any. If not, I’ll be posting the place for a week from Friday this coming Monday!

Co-Hooting and Airbending at #dtfn

Chad Swaney — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 05:47:07 +0000

Where: Co+Hoots 825 N. 7th Street / AMC Arizona Center 24 565 North 3rd Street

When: Friday, July 2, 7:00 pm / Movie at 9:10

So this week is the opening celebration for two amazing things: Co+Hoots–a kickass co-working space downtown, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

What does that mean to us? Well, we’re gonna hang out at Co+Hoots for their opening celebration then head down to AMC Arizona Center 24 to catch the 9:10 show. We are probably going to want to be about an hour early to the theatres, and it is a good idea to buy your tickets as soon as possible.

See ya there!!!

230 N. Gilbert Rd

WHY: Back to Liberty Market! A favorite stop amongst the social media elite… not to make us sound like elitists. Come meet us. We’re anything but. But we do love our Liberty Market because they take great care of us. Excellent food, good beer, wine and loads of conversations with some great people. Our first time at Liberty, we brought in 67 people for #evfn. Can we do it again? Dunno. But even with a few dozen, it’s sure to be a great gathering. Newbies welcome!
