YPG is Happy to Go “Back to School”
On Tuesday, September 13th, approximately 50 YPG members kicked off the busy fall season at Scratcher for YPG’s “Back to School” Happy Hour. The low key, laid-back East Village bar ended up being the perfect spot for members to mix, mingle and enjoy $2 off drafts and well drinks. The first 20 YPG members to arrive were rewarded with a free copy of “You’ll Love This Book as Much as You Hate Your Job” (someecards), a hilarious collection of detachable postcards illustrating everyday office drudgeries slated for October publication by Sterling. The cards depict everything from awkward water cooler moments (“You accidentally e-mailed me your darkest personal thoughts”) to cubicle confessions (“I’ve stopped even pretending to do anything around here”) to the boss’s words of wisdom (“I own you”). YPG members old and new got to know one another, networking while discussing their own tales of work-related horrors and triumphs. Members swapped stories and postcards long after happy hour had ended, making it evident that the night was another great success.
Expect to see more fun events from YPG in the future, and keep an eye out for the highly anticipated second annual National Book Awards House Party!
