Celebrate with Slope+
What a day!
I’ll put up a real post later, but I thought I’d celebrate a bit by offering anyone who wants to try Slope+ a free month on the site. You can learn about Slope+ here:
If you have no account on Slope of Hope at all (such as one you use for the comments system), and you are basically signing up from scratch, click here.
If you do have an account, and you’re already logged in, click here.
I’ve made a coupon that’s good for the next 24 hours, so enter 624F60A1 where it calls for the coupon code, and voila, the next month is free. Just because.
And now, to make a good day even better, here’s a completely gratuitous picture of Sherilyn Fenn.
Slopefest V plus SPY Guessing Game! (by Market Sniper)
SlopefestV!: The time rapidly approaches for the gathering of THE Tribe, Slopers from around the country and even beyond. Now scheduled for May 18 and 19, 2013 in Las Vegas (where else?). Come and meet with old friends and make new ones! Match up avatars and handles with REAL people!! I can guarantee you one thing in this life for certain, you will have a great time! With any luck, our gracious host, Mr. Tim Knight, will also join us. For those of you who have not met him in person, you are in for a treat. Though notoriously reclusive and a home body, perhaps he can be persuaded to get out of Palo Alto and join us for a rollicking good time.

Let's take a really close look at that trendline, shall we?
