Thursday's the Write Time, Free NYC Writing and Journalism Events

Two great events are starting Thursday for writers and journalists:
Meet and Mingle With the Deadline Club (the NYC chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists)
Curious about the Deadline Club? Always wanted to join but haven’t had a chance? Or are you a current member who wants to socialize with colleagues over drinks? Then join us at the Playwright Celtic Pub and Restaurant's (8th Ave. b/t. 45th and 46th) outdoor terrace on Thursday, July 22, from 7 to 9 p.m., to mingle with media professionals and have fun.
Food will be available and there will be a cash bar.

The mixer is FREE for current Deadline Club members and $5 for non-members, but join at the mixer and waive the $5 fee. All guests are eligible to win some great raffle prizes! RSVP at rsvp@deadlineclub.org.

At the event, we will also raffle off tickets to Upright Citizens Brigade’s “ASSSSCAT 3000” show, which features acts from Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show With Jon Stewart; to a preview performance of Lisa Kron’s “In the Wake” at The Public Theater; and to Comix Comedy Club, as well as other items!
