Ribbon Cutting & Cinco de Mayo – Today May 5, 2009

Please join Your Computer Friends for a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of our new location on Oleander, just up from the Independence Mall. We will have give-a-ways, food & a photo opportunity. Last month we celebrated our 3rd year in business and this month we officially mark the new location which we plan on being in for a long time to come.
We will leave the shop at Five O’clock and head downtown to Firebelly Lounge to grab some dinner and enjoy networking and socializing in a relaxed fun venue. Firebelly Lounge is a pleasant surprise with an outdoor patio, pool tables, plenty of space to mingle and a great selection of good food. There are plenty of choices on the menu, Mexican Themed and otherwise.
I really hope your schedule allows you to get out and play on a school night!
