Kick off Mashable's Global Social Media Day at the frankosphere – Minneapolis pre-party starts @ 4 pm!

 Wednesday, June 23, 2010
Ya, ya – we know: we just had frankfest2! But Mashable's Global Social Media Day on June 30th is reason enough to throw another party – a pre-party actually.

The official Minneapolis party starts at 6:30 at Chino Latino ... and since we're always eager to hang with with cool people passionate about social media, we're hosting a warm-up party at the frankosphere – along with our good friends at Star Collaborative.

Join us June 30th at the frankosphere for cool conversations and primo pre-party prizes!

We'll have beverages on hand (bring your own favorites, too!) and we'll dish these local prizes to celebrate our local vibe:

$30 gift certificate to Bob's Java Hut
$30 gift certificate to Uptown Tattoo
$30 gift certificate to Moxie Hair Salon

Let's get vocal & viral about showing the world the size of our Minneapolis social media community!

Right now, we're #35 on the global list of Social Media Day parties. Not bad, but c'mon – Hamilton, Ontario is #15 (I've been there: it's a steel town, not a hip tech town like we are!) NYC's #1 right now, but hell, everyone knows New Yorker's are lame at keeping commitments.

So mark your calendars, check back with this blog for pre-party & prize updates ... and most importantly, help prove that Minneapolis is one kick-ass social media community – by joining the party and sharing this invite with friends, colleagues and your mom.
