TechBoise at the WaterCooler [June 24]

Mark River, Mayor Beiter @ WaterCooler
I’m not sure why people keep asking me to do these, I’m a horrible event planner. But I’ve been convinced that it’s time to do another TechBoise event and this one will be at the WaterCooler.

If you haven’t been to the WaterCooler yet now is the time to check it out.

I can’t promise that Mark Rivers or Mayor Bieter will be there like they were at the opening, but they are invited ;)

This will be one of our more informal meetings with no planned agenda but I have asked a few people to get up and share a few thoughts about what they are working on and what they see as the biggest opportunities over the next few years. I’ll provide more detail as I receive confirmation.

And you never know, the WaterCooler has a fuseball table so who knows what will happen.

The event will be held this coming Tuesday, June 24th at 5:30.

Please leave a comment here or email me (tac@techboise.com) if you are able to attend.

Boise’s best Internet Marketing consultant will be there. ;) Actually, I really want to make this one, but there is a slight chance I’ll be out of town. It’s looking good though.

Sharon,
You obviously aren’t familiar with the hot new version of foosball called fuseball. It’s the tech version where the losers have to stick their fingers in a fuse socket :)

The big important CEO of the social network for scholars will be there as well.

Hey - I also have a potential sponsor for SPACE if we want to do a new media bar camp. Big expense there is a place to hold the thing. We can chat more about that at the beerandblog/tweetup. We need a name for these TechBoise events . . .

Oh. I just discovered a problem on this website. Pronetos is not listed in the topics cloud. Pronetos should be very large, thus more people need to talk about Pronetos - how they are using Pronetos; how smart the founders of Pronetos are; how proud Boise is that Pronetos makes this city its home, etc. More Pronetos is good. Josh if I have done this right, I’ll get wicked high rankings on Google from just this one post, right?

I’ll go if you promise to talk to the guy who has a hard time introducing himself, and is standing around feeling awkward :)
