I Fucked Up
Originally, this post was going to be titled “Lessons Learned,” but that was going too easy on myself. I fucked up, and I apologize. That’s hard to admit when you’re the supposed “expert” that people write to for advice. But instead of ignoring the issue or making excuses, I’m going to try and make this […]
March Mixer
It’s that time, again– time for another TAPArty! Bring your friends, and make some new ones, at Seventy7 Lounge in Culver City.

TAPA Meetup October 25
It’s been a little while since we’ve had a PA meetup. And it’s still going to be a while, ’cause the next one is October 25th!
