I’ll be tabling for The Daily Cal from 12:30-1 pm tomorrow, so stop by if you have any questions. We’ve been working very hard in the ads department to get this promotion underway, so it would be awesome if you could participate, check out some new businesses, and have a chance to win an iPod Touch for a change.
I promise we won’t steal and sell your identity, and you’ll get the chance to visit new places outside of campus for a change. All the businesses should be within walking distance of campus. Good luck!
