When the May 2012 issue of the Northfield Entertainment Guide (PDF) hit the streets last week, I noticed a typo on the cover. "GIRLS NITE OUT Saturday, May 11" says the text. Of course, May 11th (tomorrow) is Friday. I had the pleasure yesterday of informing NEG publisher Rob Schanilec (By All Means Graphics) about it. He groaned, "That’s not a typo. I would call that an error."
I could empathize. Last week when I blogged the flyer for the mountain bike racing team information night at the high school, I put ‘Wednesday’ instead of ‘Tuesday.’ Judy Becker, Facilities Scheduler at Community Ed, alerted me to the error. I fixed the flyer and the blog entry and thanked her. A few minutes later, she alerted me again. "Tuesday is the 15th, not the 17th. Are you looking at an April calendar?" Um, no, I wasn’t. I thought I heard her say, "Well then, what are you smoking?"
For all the GNO details, see Jessica Paxton’s blog post on Northfield.org: Don’t Miss the 6th Annual Girls Nite Out — this Friday, May 11! You can also follow Girls Nite Out on Facebook.
See my 2009, 2008, and 2007 photo albums for a bit of GNO flavor.

Since coming to my adopted country 16 years ago I have observed, amongst other things, that not putting the day with the date is both common and peculiar to Northfield (MN? USA?).
Happens to me a lot. So much that my lovely wife had to coin a term for it: she says I have datelexia.
