If you're a social-media maven with a discerning palate, be sure not to miss New Times' first Link Up party tonight at the Downtowner Saloon, 10 S. New River Drive East.

The party, which runs from 7 to 9 p.m., features free cocktails, appetizers, and Kona beer.

The Link Up is New Times' way of saying "thanks" for all the clicks, "likes," and tweets.

Just say "New Times" at the door to get full access to these gratis goodies.
