Ask HN: Who else is going to Geeknrolla?

Posted by swombat on Monday April 20, 2009 @08:53AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Some of us are going to this TechCrunch-UK-organised conference tomorrow:

http://www.amiando.com/geeknrolla.html

So far, I know that myself, my cofounder, axod (founder of mibbit), and pclark (founder of Broadersheet) and jlees (of http://www.trendpreneur.com/ ) are coming. I'm sure there are a few more, so come out and make yourselves known :-)

So, who else is going? There'll probably be many opportunities to meet up during the day, but how will we recognise each other? Any ideas? Should we all wear a bright orange t-shirt?

Hope to see many of you there!

Going to the afterparty. My real name's Mike, I'm working on a Python based security monitoring tool. Would love to meet other London pythonistas.

I have no bright orange T shirts, but I do have red pants. Feel free to come over and say 'Excuse me, are you red pants guy from HackerNews?'.

Seems like going to the afterparty is the best option in terms of value for money.

The founder of the company I work is pitching there as one of the invited start-ups. Watch out for Jason Trost from Smarkets.

I'm going to be at both events (photo on http://www.twitter.com/DirtyAndy ). Don't really know anyone going although interestingly met jlees at a pitching course two weeks ago and exchanged e-mails with axod a month or so ago. Small world message! I do have a bright orange t-shirt but shall not be wearing it - I have a bright orange business card which will have to do!

Very much looking forward to being there! I don't have anything to pitch yet - just checking the scene out and expecting to meet some interesting people <looks pointedly at you guys>.

No bright orange shirt but I shall be tweeting the day as we go as @neilmoodley so do say hi!

Btw, if all else fails, in terms of finding a way to recognise each other, my photo is on http://danieltenner.com/, so you know what I look like :-)

Please be sure to wear that exact expression at all times in order that we shall be able to recognize you.

Many good UK startups will be around. Mike (@mikebutcher) did a great job here!

See you all tomorrow.
