Reminder: Tech Drinks II in One Week!
November 29th, 2007 | by Tony Bacigalupo |
One week from today, CooBric and Lunasa will be hosting Tech Drinks II– our second casual happy hour for the Tech Community.
As of today, our Facebook Event has 38 confirmed guests, and 24 maybes! Wow!
If you weren’t at our first event or don’t know about the event, here’s the basic pitch: NYC has no shortage of networking and presentation-centered events, and they’re great ways to make business contacts- but what about getting beyond that?
The intention of this event is for us to get away from the business talk and get to know each other as people. You know, music? Movies? Sports? Let’s let some of that humanity shine through and forget our professional ambitions for a while!
After the bar, we’ll move on to another location for some more fun (music, karaoke, movie?) to be determined then.
Feel free to come by and make some friends– the bar specials are awesome! Below are the essentials:
Who: Anybody in the NY Tech Community!
What: Half price on almost all beers, well drinks, house wine, and appetizers till 7pm. After that, some sort of ruckus!
When: Thursday, December 6th - Happy hour from 5-7pm, event will continue into the evening
Where: Lunasa Bar & Restaurant, 126 1st Ave @ St. Mark’s Place
Why: So we can hang out and be social in a non-networking, non-presentation context. Let’s get to know each other better as people!
How: Because of Robert Sosinski, Jeff Warren, and Lunasa Bar.
RSVP: Facebook Event, Meetup
Also - Technoliday Fundraiser
On December 6th, the same night as our event, a similar shindig is being held in Washington, DC: The Technoliday Party. The event is a fundraiser to support the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) movement. OLPC is distributing laptops in third world countries and underprivileged communities stateside.
While our event will remain a casual happy hour, we wanted to help promote the cause– you can donate here. We’re also talking about hosting a similar fundraising event here in NYC. If you’re interested in that, let us know!
See you there!
