Friday, June 13th @ 4:30pm
Various Venues (Pioneer Square / Downtown / South Lake Union)
As we mentioned last week, this is the weekend for tech events, and tonight the events kick off with a whole bunch of drinking. At 4:30, Josh Maher is organizing a Lunch 2.0 Happy Hour event at the offices of Blue Gecko downtown. From there, at 6pm, Nathan Kaiser and the other nPost.com pub crawlers will be heading out to a couple of bars before Thingamajiggr kicks off at 8pm. You can either show up at the Blue Gecko event, or follow along with the nPost twitter feed to see where folks are. The nPost wiki also has the evening’s rough schedule sketched out, so you can check for updates there as well.
Friday, June 13th @ 8pm
911 Media Arts Center
402 9th Avenue N (South Lake Union)
Last summer’s Thingamajiggr party was one of the top tech events of the year. Luckily, Brady Forrest (of O’Reilly Radar) and Shelly Farnham (of Waggle Labs) have been gracious enough to put on a follow-up event: Thingamajiggr II, which promises to be even bigger and better than the first. John Medina (author of Brain Rules) and Dan Savage (The Stranger, Savage Love), are the headliners, each giving their take on how technology is changing us. You can also expect tech-art, DJ sets, a couple of DIY make projects, and hopefully some shorter, Ignite-style talks. Tickets are $10 now, $15 at the door, with all proceeds going to benefit the 911 Media Arts Center.
By the way, keep your calendars clear for the weekend of June 13th, or if you’ve already made plans, Cancel Them. Between Thingamajiggr, Lunch 2.0, nPost pub crawl, and Seattle BarCamp (to name a few), the middle of June is primetime for local tech events. We’ll be providing more details over the upcoming week.
