[LA.pm] Citysearch is Hiring

[Robert Spier]

I hate using the lapm list for this, but you might know someone who is
right for the following position.

And to sweeten the deal, if you refer someone (it could be you!) who
we end up hiring for this position, I'll pay for your dinner at the
next dinner event we have.

Also, I'm plotting out plans for a technical event in the next few
weeks.  It'll probably be held on the 8800 block of Sunset, so plan
your route now.
