Blessed with beautiful weather and a big crowd — not to mention drink specials, thanks to Chianti Cleggett and The Grape — the MOB was out in full force this week for our April mixer.
Lots of new faces, and a few returning ones as well. But don’t take our word for it. Check out photos from our event at the Summit …
(Next up: May 19 at WorkPlay. Check out who’s playing that night …)
Thanks to all who dropped by.

April showers bring MOB powers. OK, so we never could compose poetry.
[But we can find Waldo.]
Join us April 21 for our networking event at The Grape at The Summit [map]. MOBster Chianti Cleggett set up our patio outing, along with our MOB exclusive drink specials:
A special pinot noir and pinot grigio — normally $9 a glass — will be available to us for $7.
(Of course, if those aren’t your faves, you can pick anything from the extensive wine list or appetizer/dinner menu.
We’ll be there from 5:30 and 7:30 on Monday, April 21. Anyone in media, advertising, PR and Web should stop by — please tell your colleagues, friends and enemies to join us. Complete details are available on the Evite.

It all depends on your appetite, after the jump …
