Join Jelly and The Coop next Saturday, May 15th, at Grant Park for some football fun. Men and women are welcome, no special equipment or athletic talent is required, and it’s of course free. All you need to do is RSVP at the link below:

We’ll be meeting at the corner of Jackson and Columbus at 10am, and heading to the field from there.

If you’ve been itching to get out to Jelly but haven’t found the time during the week, this would be a great opportunity to get to know everyone. We hope to see you there!

The Jelly happy hours are always a blast, but there’s something about sitting down together and enjoying food that you actually made yourself. We’re planning on doing another one soon.

Jelly member Allie Osmar was kind enough to snap some photos from the event:

WinkVid is like speed dating, where you meet up to 10 other people for 4 minutes each via video chat. They’ve been working on it since SocialDevCamp last November, and it looks like the finished product is pretty polished. They’ve received some really good feedback during their beta sessions and are confident they’re onto something pretty awesome. If you’re single, do yourself a favor and check it out!

And I can think of no better way to celebrate the tournament than with your Jelly buddies.

Jelly’s annual March Madness bracket is open to everyone – all it takes is $5 (sent to sean DOT johnson AT gmail DOT com via Paypal) and you’re in. The person with the lowest score gets their money back, the winner takes the rest. Should be an awesome time.

Initially launching at Noble Tree and Dollop, the service provides a place to learn about fellow patrons, vote on music, post advertisements or announcements, and more. Congrats to Jason, Phil, Darren and the rest of the Doejo team!
