Well, BFF and WIBFF have decided we need to get some more friends. I decided we should have an open casting call via craigslist. Here is my posting:

A few fun, mid 20-something ladies looking for some applicants for new friends. These applicants will be well groomed, courteous, and have a minimal creep factor. Applicants will be well compensated in movie partners, fast text responses, fantastic families to be a part of, pub crawls, correct grammar, the occasional trip to Brainerd, free lodging during Summerfest, disdain for non-Miller products, and the best friendship ever.
Why would you want to be friends with us, you ask? Here summarizes our best qualities:
New BFF #1: Recent transplant to the Twin Cities from Milwaukee. Likes to contribute to conversation by yelling over the speaker, but insisting that she’s still listening. Works in advertising and has a hilarious outlook on most of life. Always carries Kleenex, just in case you need it (selfless, see!).
New BFF #2: Works with kids, but swears like a sailor. Can hang with the best when chatting up Gopher sports and declaring her love for the Twins. Enjoys Miller Lite and blogging about her dating life. Will take you down in Big Buck Hunter, mostly because she’s a redneck at heart.
New BFF #3: Works in non-profits and isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. Has a special place in her heart for sharks and Shark Week. Wants olives in her beer, thank you very much. Loves to cook, kind of sucks at it. The instigator of this friendship finder. Loves to laugh and sing during karaoke.
The 3 of us find that we get along best with male friends, but we do have a few other close female friends, most of whom live out of state.
You might be an ideal candidate for friendship if you possess one or many of the following qualities:
-You are under 30ish. We’re not looking to be friends with our dads, but mid 30s is probably okay.
-You long to get in screaming matches over Wisconsin and Minnesota sports rivalries with some big fans from both sides of the cheddar wall
-You can carry on a conversation.
-You think a Friday night movie or spending time at a coffee shop “being social” might be ideal because really, we’re too old to go out every weekend and party like its 1999.
We will be at the Vegas Lounge (965 Central Avenue Northeast, Minneapolis) on Saturday, March 27th around 9:30 pm until midnight or later. Wear a red shirt or tie a balloon to your belt loops so we know you’re applying for the position. Look for us – we’ll be the 3 judging you. The code word is "Shark Week".

Here's hoping we don't get killed! But I have already received 6 e-mails about it, so clearly we're doing something right! Shockingly, these haven't been super creepy, and actually quite funny and complementary. Apparently I am a hilarious CL writer.
