DESCRIPTION:Join the sfAMA at Southside Spirit House and try something you’ve never had before. How about their Absinthe Punch for example?\nAbsinthe has a legendary past and is cloaked in a bit of mystery. Part of its allure was due to its aphrodisiac and narcotic properties. It was once popular with authors such as Baudelaire and artist Van Gogh who claimed it helped stimulate their creativity. Eventually\, in 1912 absinthe was banned in America and later in France in 1915. What we see as absinthe now is not quite what it was back at the turn of the 20th century. But it still might be fun to try. If absinthe isn’t your thing\, don’t worry\, there will be plenty of beer\, wine and other libations to suit your fancy.\nWhere: Southside Spirit House\, 575 Howard Street (between 1st and 2nd)\, San Francisco\nWhen: Friday\, February 28\, 2014\, 5:30pm to 8:30pm\nCost: $10 for sfAMA members / $15 for non-members\nCash Bar URL:https://www.amasf.org/event/time-to-get-into-the-spirit/ LOCATION:Southside Spirit House\, 575 Howard St\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94105\, United States CATEGORIES:AMA SF Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.amasf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/f7b4081a312e193ade74dc7fd07af2ac.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140220T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140221T170000 DTSTAMP:20260911T232007 CREATED:20170318T121312Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180213T113634Z UID:10000612-1392883200-1393002000@www.amasf.org SUMMARY:Integrated Marketing Communications - San Francisco DESCRIPTION:Listen to a sneak peek Integrated Marketing Communications Podcast by Instructor Mark Burgess\, President & Co-Founder of Blue Focus Marketing \nIntegrated Marketing Communications Brochure? \nMarketers are beginning to understand that their brands live in the connections\, and that they must seize the opportunity by creating an integrated communications strategy.
