My friend Mikey is to Calhoun’s what I am to the Saucer. He’s there every day. If he doesn’t show up at some point, people begin to worry that he’s sick. Or dead.
A few weeks ago, Mikey got an iPhone. He saw how much fun we were having on Foursquare, and downloaded the app. On Foursquare, you “check in” to venues as you are in them. If you check into a venue more than anyone else over a 2-month period, you become the mayor. So Mikey started checking in everywhere he went, and his checkins began to add up. Yesterday about 5 PM he checked into Calhoun’s… and that one was enough to oust the old mayor, Otto.
Over the next week we will see a furious battle between Mikey and Otto to control the mayorship of Calhoun’s. Mikey will eventually win in the long run, but for a while we will be treated to an epic struggle between the two. Should be fun to watch.
