Hey Guys,

                    Tonight marked a historic moment in SOMA history!  In need of a fundraiser so that we can keep putting on all the awesome events we get to give you guys for free, we took the age-old event of an open-mic and threw in a twist.  The result, the likes of which have never been seen before, was the first ever “Find your So’mate!” open mic/date auction!  While many an organization would laugh at the prospects of such a combination, SOMA boldly took on this fierce challenge and are now reaping the rewards of it.  Of course the true winners from tonights success was all of you faithful SOMA attendees who love and embrace the events we put on.  All the money raised tonight will help fuel these joyous occasions and keep them free for all of you, the latter of which I am sure you are all ecstatic about.  Everyone that showed up I am sure had quite an entertaining evening.  All the acts did a great job and the duo of Devin Daniels and Matt Powers kept the laughs coming in between.  The auctioning was equally successful, receiving attention from both SOMA members and the general audience.  At some points the bidding got so intense, I thought former SOMA President Danny Greene would receive his wish for how elections should be handled and duels to the death would take place.  Luckily there were no known injuries that took place tonight outside of balloon-popping during clean-up.  That is right, we here at SOMA take our balloon-popping very seriously, we accept the challenge of any other organization at it.  On that note, all of SOMA would like to thank everyone in attendance, including those that watched, those that helped set up the show, the performers, those that were auctioned and of course those that bought them.  We hope you will see how awesome your So’mate is and it will turn into something special, hence you would owe your entire relationship to SOMA, we’re like a club of cupids. 

                    Like I previously mentioned, all the money will be going into future SOMA events, including the ever-so near SOMA/SFO Synthesis show!  Also coming up is the new officers election which will take place at our next general meeting, our president, Kelly, will probably be emailing everyone on the listserv with more information on that as it draws closer.  If you are not on the listserv and wish to be, contact any of the officers or through the SOMA email address/facebook group.  On that note, I believe I have written all there is to write, see you all at the next SOMA meeting!
