The announcement humorously addresses the theme of "Pirates or Ninjas" by inviting readers to a social gathering at Il Pirata in San Francisco, emphasizing that the event location is not meant to show favoritism towards pirates over ninjas. It playfully mentions that no ninja-themed bars exist, inviting ninjas to create one for future meetups. The message underscores an inclusive approach, affirming a commitment to equal opportunity employment without discrimination based on various legally protected statuses, humorously including "pirate/ninja affiliation." The event details are provided, inviting attendees to the gathering on February 25th at 9 pm.
