As reported by 29-95.com, Wired Live is locked out due to a rent arrearage of around $51,000. This would indicate the Satoshi Tomiie show this coming Friday night will likely at least be relocated to a different venue and/or rescheduled, if it is still happening at all. I just sent an email to Connekted Events, the promoter of the show, to find out what’s going on.
UPDATE 21:55: According to the reply I got, the show is going on as scheduled at Wired Live.
Yep, it’s that time of year again. If you find yourself stressed out after filling out that tax return at the last minute, maybe you should get out and have some fun. Everything is a low-cost or free event in this week’s LOVIEE, a perfect fit if you know your refund check won’t get here fast enough (does it ever?), or worse, you found out you owe Uncle Sam even more cash.

This week’s a bit light. Outside of one addition, these were all also featured in the monthly LOVIEE as posted last week. I normally don’t just make a “carbon copy” like this but nothing else really sticks out as that special this week. Next week will be different.

Yes, I was a little late with this one. As tempting as it was to get in the April Fool’s spirit, I decided to pass and spend the time coming up with the real deal.
I may add another event in the next couple days depending on what else I find. This is the eighth monthly LOVIEE and Monday marks the six-month anniversary of wide launch. I’m feeling pretty good about how far this blog has come, but it’s also about you, the readers. Love or hate, if you’ve got an opinion either way, I’d appreciate the feedback.
