So, October 17th is just around the corner…

Posted on September 30, 2010 by Flora the Intern

… and you know what that means around here: PARTY! :)  (Don’t get it? Find out the story behind our name!)

October 17 Media is turning 3, and you’re invited to our bash! We’re having it at Ceili’s Irish Pub again this year – we had a blast there last year – and it’s happening on Thursday, October 14th from 6-8pm. No, that’s not a typo; yes, we know it’s not actually on October 17th… let it go already!

Anyway, there will be FREE appies and cake (yum!) and just good times in general!

Want to join in on the fun? Well, you’re most certainly welcome to! Just RSVP via email by October 8th, and we’ll save you some cake.

While you’re at it, visit the Facebook event page and help us show off a bit ;)

We hope to see you soon!

A movie about Facebook? Do we hear “field trip”?!

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Flora the Intern

If you’re social media fanatics like us, then you’re probably psyched for The Social Network movie coming out next Friday, October 1st. It’s about a group of friends from Harvard who decided to start a social networking website called Facebook (you might have heard of it). Check out the trailer:

Clearly, this is totally related to what we do here at October 17 Media, so the team is going to take a little field trip to the theatres next Monday, October 4th to watch it (stay tuned for a mini review)!

Come watch it with us!
Tell us what you think of the trailer by commenting on this blog post, and we’ll enter you into a random draw for a free movie ticket to the show! If you can join us next Monday, that’d be even better… popcorn on us ;) .

Making Wishes Come True at Exile Island!

Posted on September 20, 2010 by Flora the Intern

Children's Wish Foundation
October 17 Media loves giving back to the community – and this time, we’re helping make wishes come true! We’re proud to be the social media sponsor for “Exile Island”, an exciting fundraising event for The Children’s Wish Foundation happening this Wednesday, September 22 at the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Here’s what’s going down: ten high-profile members of the community (including Canucks alumni Dave Babych and Better Business Bureau of Mainland BC President Lynda Pasacreta) will be banished to Exile Island where they will compete in a series of mental and physical challenges to win the title of “BC’s Ultimate Survivor”. Upwards of $100,000 is expected to be raised at the event, and ten Wish Children will be granted their most heartfelt wish! (more…)
