Super Second Tuesday Proves Success for GeekAustin

February 13, 2008 • View Comments • Events I've Attended

Lynn, Whurley and I would like to thank everyone who came out to the February Dorkbot/GeekAustin Happy Hour. Much thanks to David Nunez and the crew for the crazy cool animation going on in the mix.

Unfortunately, the date of February 12th was just too appealing and Austin on Rails and Refresh Austin people had events on the same day. Although we had a decent turnout, we are planning on moving our events to another day of the month so they can join in on the fun.

A special thanks to whomever picked up my bar tab. Very cool.

Do you have pictures of the event? Please add them to our Flickr pool.

February GeekAustin Happy Hour 2/12 at JBlack’s

January 29, 2008 • View Comments • Events I've Attended

Ok, so our next party is at JBlack’s on February 12th. This will not involve buying flowers or candy, or calling around to restaurants trying to find the one place that isn’t booked. Will you meet the future Mr. or Ms. (insert your last name here) at the February Geek Austin party? We doubt it, but at least you can count on having a good time.

We are cohosting this event with Dorkbot. Dorkbot is a group of many sorts that builds things and sometimes blows them up in the name of “electronic art” (in the broadest sense of the term). Want to see electronic art in action? Take your kids or the kid in you to the Austin Children’s Museum to check out De La Maquina’s “Electronic Gongs.” These Flickr photos don’t do it justice.

Will we be blowing up Valentine’s Day presents at the party? Probably not. Should you RSVP to find out what does happen? The link is here, my friends:
