Web techies go forth and help thine Frinktank Boys

People, if you don't frequent FrinkTank you should. They're vicious and hilarious and underneath it all, smart as a whip. That's why they get away with being so jarringly rude. But they need some help with their aesthetics. Soooo. CSS pros, they need YOU:

If ye be knowledgable in the arts of CSS and want to help us botox the face of FrinkTank, drop us a line at frinktank[at]gmail[dot]com.

What are you waiting for. Go make yourself useful and earn your keep in this universe.

An auspicious day

Our very first post was published a year ago this Tuesday. So we're celebrating. Not quite sure what exactly. But hey, come one come all. Do drop in. Do drop some beer money at Six Acres, right across from Gassy Jack in Gastown. Be there and be square. RSVP if you can be assed.

"Because we've just moved back to Vancouver and haven't lived here in 8 years, and don't know anybody, everyone should totally come cause there'll be like nooooo cliqueyness," Anna told me over the phone earlier. "Except if nobody comes and we're drunk and gurgling in the corner," she added, on second thought. If we're too embarassing you don't even have to own up to knowing us. You can just walk on by.

Londonites we'll miss you madly. And swill much lager to drown such sorrow.
