Save the date: February 1, in the city of Los Angeles, in the neighborhood of "Echo Park," at Taix. Awl readers are gathering to drink and discuss their feelings, beginning at 7 p.m. More info will follow in the comments.

Hello Awl readers! This is David Cho, "business guy" of The Awl, here to ask a favor of you. We currently need a little information about who you are, so we've put together this small little survey (so small!) that asks a few questions about you and your entertainment-consuming habits. If you wouldn't mind clicking this link and taking about 45 seconds to answer the survey as honestly as possible, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Here is another link for the survey! As always, if you have any questions, drop us a line.

Many of your fellow Awl readers would be delighted to drink with you this evening at the Ella Lounge, at 9 Avenue A, from 6 to 10 p.m. You look like you need a drink!

* By "on us," of course we mean "mostly down our shirts." Not like, as in "we're paying for them"! That's crazy.

Alert! Code red! This coming Friday's Awl reader's party, a party thrown by readers for readers, also known as the Awl Hawliday Bawl, has a change of venue! We hope you will join us there. (Yes, you!) So the new venue for Friday, December 10, is the Ella Lounge, at 9 Avenue A, which is located, unsurprisingly, between 1st & 2nd streets. Why? Let us tell you!
