Los Angeles g33k d1nner

It’s a chill scene. No uber networking, self-promotion or company promotion. Just be cool. We’re all friends you haven’t met yet.

Get Geeky in May!

So it’s that Monday tomorrow, and the Get Geeky South Bay is on and at the usual place, the Red Car Brewery in Torrance. There’s a lot to talk about this month, with Facebook privacy in the news, a possible upcoming iPhone, and more. Come on out and join us!

The Get Geeky is meant to be a casual gathering of ‘geeks’ over beers (or whatever your drink preference is). We’d love to see you there, and love it even more if you brought a friend. The more the geekier!

Changing tactics

The past few Get Geeky’s have been a bit low on turnout. The few of us who do come have a great time discussing everything from Android to copyright law to Apple iPad sales. Unfortunately, this event hasn’t quite become what I’d envisioned, and that’s my own fault. I’m just not a born promoter.

For the Get Geeky to really shine as a great event, we need more people. The more people that we can get to show up, the better it is for all of us (theoretically). So with that in mind, I’m going to try utilizing Meetup.com for our monthly gathering. I’d like feedback on this though.

Would receiving a monthly email reminder be annoying? Is this blog and Twitter enough for you?

March Edition of the Get Geeky!

It’s that time again folks. Come on by the Red Car Brewery tonight at 7PM for some beer, food, and good chats on anything geeky. We are a local group that gathers for fun, no requirements other than you like to chat about things internet/tech/creative. We are freelance designers, copywriters, engineers, and more.

Here are directions.

Lucky Baldwin’s Belgian Beerfest

Lucky Baldwins bar in Pasadena (yes I know it’s not the South Bay) has a delicious festival twice each year featuring over 50 Belgian Beers on tap. The festival goes for 3 weeks straight, and I plan on attending this Saturday from about 3-7pm, and I hope to see some of you there! http://luckybaldwins.com/NewIndex.html

See you tonight!

Get Geeky for 2010

Happy new year everyone! I hope your 2009 ended well, and that 2010 brings you all the happiness it can. 2009 was a big year for geeks and the tech industry as a whole. 2010 looks to be even bigger. We should have plenty to talk about!

This month our Get Geeky lands on the 18th. 7PM to whenever (usually 9ish) at the Red Car Brewery in Torrance. I’m once again considering some alternate venues for this year. If you know of any place in the South Bay, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, etc. that works well for informal gatherings let me know via our Twitter account @southbaygeeks.

Remember, if you know any geeks/creatives/techs that would enjoy the Get Geeky, then by all means let them know!

Now go Get Geeky!
