There was an Event invite on Facebook “2013” and asking for your RSVP. It would then show up if you friends were “attending”. X is Attending 2013.  
On a side note, don’t ask me about 19s.

Isn’t the world supposed to TIP before 2020? As I recall, the icecaps are going to melt and move to the equator, causing the planet to flip sideways, the magnetic fields will change and only the people with the magic crystals will survive to repopulate the world with love and harmony.

Or maybe I should just stop drinking in Sedona.
