NetParty “First Fridays” at Pangaea 9/5/08

Posted on    by

NetParty “First Fridays” at Pangaea begin Friday, September 5!
As seen in Forbes (Best of the Web) and Cosmopolitan (“Top New Ways to Meet”), NetParty is a unique event that is held at the hippest venues and “combines business networking with social fun” (Forbes).
Thanks you for the great response to our South Florida events. Beginning Friday, September 5, we will be organizing a NetParty event on the First Friday of every month at the exclusive Pangaea-Ultra Lounge. Join us and open yourself to meeting hundreds of new people for business contacts and social connections.
Although our NetParty event is normally $20, during our Introductory Period in South Florida, you are invited to RSVP for Free Admission and enjoy:
Half priced martini drink specials from 6 pm to 8 pm
Complimentary passed hors d’oeuvres from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm
Cool music played at a low volume to facilitate successful business and social networking until 8 pm
DJ and dancing beginning at 8 pm
Meeting hundreds of young, fun professionals for business contacts and friendships like you can do nowhere else
Pangaea, takes guests on a “virtual expedition.” (Nightclub.com). Meaning “all lands” in Greek, Pangaea combines elements of Asian, African, and European culture to create a “sexy and sense-heightening” (Nightclub.com) experience.

Largely inspired by African game lodges, Pangaea pays tribute to the Dark Continent with West African adobe structures, horned-animal skulls, spears and cartographic art. The shadows cast by dim candlelight across these artifacts “conveys the sense of being swept away on a nighttime safari.” (CoolJunkie.com). An elaborate outdoor fire-pit completes the allusion.
