Here’s the agenda for Saturday’s MarkMaynard.com 10th anniversary party

By Mark | September 5, 2012

When it first occurred to me that we should have a 10 year anniversary party for the site, I thought that I’d issue a press release, print up flyers, and promote the hell out of it. As the date has drawn nearer, though, I’ve been reminded of the fact that I’m terrified of large groups, [...]

Trabajabamos to join 25 Suaves and Minus9 at the upcoming MarkMaynard.com anniversary party

By Mark | August 14, 2012

It seems that some folks just [...]

MarkMaynard.com awards

By Mark | May 15, 2011

I was at Sidetrack with a friend on Friday night, and noticed that they had an award from AnnArbor.com posted on their wall, and it got me wondering whether or not any local businesses would put up MarkMaynard.com plaques, if they were offered. My friend, who’s somewhat devious by nature, seemed to think that it [...]
