DNA's "First Tuesday" is at Feast BBQ on Tuesday, August 7.

My suggestion is that you attend Develop New Albany's free networking function, buy a drink at the cash bar, and ask to speak with one of the organization's Young Turks. If one is available, offer your support in restoring hope by upending the established order. If not, make a contribution to One Southern Indiana's approaching "Urban Revitalization Through Exurban Golf Snobbery" campaign. Better yet, just annoy the bejesus out of CM CeeSaw by supporting NA First -- but of course, that's just my 'pinion as a 108K-every-three-years indie business person.

But seriously: First Tuesdays can be fun, and you want to see (and taste) Feast BBQ, don't you? Check out the events listed here, and do something, okay?
