Time: 6:30pm -9pm

Date: Thursday, February 21, 2008

Cost: FREE

I think a couple of our guys (thepoint.com) are going. Please say hello! We look like this: http://www.bandrew.com/rampage/

That...is the COOLEST picture ever! I'll just follow the National Guard to find you guys.

On a completely tangential note, I would like to state for the record that CakePie is one of the greatest things I have seen.

I'll be there wearing a Mashable schwag shirt (http://tinyurl.com/2xs7c2), black jacket. I look like this guy: http://tinyurl.com/yw4bet

It's upstairs. There's a circular bar in the middle, a wall of windows on the east wall. The elevated area along that wall is probably the easiest place to meet as there's just one way to get there.

See you guys there!

Should we go with rrival's elevated platform on the east wall? I would recommend the Social Helix space but I wouldn't want to hog their demo room.

except without the sunglasses and hat.

I will tell the two other startup guys I'm working with about this. We were planning to meet tonight to work on stuff, but this may be a better thing.

Edit: Apparently they ran out of space. One of the guys said he'd been invited. We'll go to the next one.

I'd be curious to see if they really care -that- much - it seemed pretty open last time I was there. Walking in like you know what you're doing might work, and if the last one is any indication, people tend to stay on after the event ends at 9 (we closed it down last time).

It is a free event, apparently the registration they do is to get an accurate head count. Just show up.

Social Helix(all 4 of us) will be there. We will be demoing and talking hopefully with all of you. Then tomorrow Jon and I fly out to SF for the google hackethon.

Yes, I'll be there, but unfortunately I don't know the venue either. I believe its upstairs at Barleycorn. Anyone else going?

We'll be there. Look for the 3 most dashingly handsome guys in the whole bar. That's us.

I believe you're referring to me, myself, and I :)

I want to go, will they just let you in without rsvp?
Re:Ask YC: Anyone in Chicago going to TechCocktail Tonight? by thomasswift on Thursday February 21, 2008 @04:11PM (#120715)
didn't rsvp in time, make sure you talk to the suits, they've got the money.
