As if things aren't exciting enough with Ball Square Fine Wines expanding into the space formerly known as the Belgian Truffle House... WickedLocal Somerville reports today Beantown's top wine gurus (reportedly "fun-loving", no less) are making a splash next week at OM!!

Looks like tix are available via EventBrite. Check it out!

I don't understand -- Ball Square is not in Cambridge?

If I read this correctly, you're linking to an article you yourself wrote, in which you refer to yourself in the third person, and you are also connected to both the group and the event.

I'm a bit confused by the whole chain, but fyi, it's totally okay (and comes across better) to just be straightforward about advertising your own things here.

It would generally be considered more appealing even :p

I am sad about the truffle place closing though.

The truffle place hasn't been open as a retail operation for a couple years now; Ball Square Fine Wines was selling some of their products. BSFW also was in desperate need of more space, so this is a definite win overall.

It would be better to just advertise the event directly here with all of the necessary info (date, time, location, cost if any). I am totally confused about how a Boston event can happen at Ball Square in 'Cambridge'.

As I read it, the event has nothing to do with Ball Square Fine Wines; the store's expansion is being used as an example of a similarly cool alcohol-related happening.

The linked article lists Ball Sq Fine Wines as one of several sponsors.

BOSTON IN CAMBRIDGE (IN SOMERVILLE)

Your attempts at misdirection failed like mad.

In future, maybe "Here is an event I am involved in. It's taking place at {location} and features {activity} and it will be lots of fun. You can get tickets at {website}."

There really isn't any need for the bad cloak-and-dagger stuff, though as a fan of "Get Smart" and the Pink Panther movies, I appreciated it.
