The mixer is quickly approaching and many of you were too clever for our location mixup clue. So we’ve decided to go ahead and spill the beans that it will be located at the 51st Street Speakeasy.

In case you didn’t know, the Speakeasy name of the establishment refers to a term once used to order drinks on the sly in upscale joints during the prohibition era. To play along with this theme, we’ve decided to use MIXUP as our password at the door. Say it softly, hence the name speakeasy, and you’ll gain access to OKC’s creative collective this Friday, May 1, 2009.

Come support AIGA Oklahoma, AdTwoOKC and refreshOKC to make this celebration of things to come even bigger and better. All organizations and individuals with a vested interest in the future of professional design in our community are invited to join us. Spread the word. RSVP to AIGAOKrsvp@gmail.com
 or visit the event page on Facebook to guarantee your foot in the door.

The mixer is officially less than 5 days away! Mix it up this Friday with your fellow creatives, starting at 8pm. Join us for a little food, fun, and free drinks* on us. Get to know some new faces, catch up with a few old pals and possibly win some stellar door prizes. It’s going to be one heck of a good time, you definitely won’t want to miss!
