Alcohol Liberation Front 5.1: Scoble’s Tech Happy Hour in DC Wednesday, June 25
by Berin Szoka on June 23, 2008 · 4 comments
The TLF crowd will converge upon the MCCXXIII Club at 1223 Connecticut Ave in Washington DC from 6-9:30 this Wednesday, June 25 for Alcohol Liberation Front 5.1. Why are we having an ALF event so soon after our last one? And why is only minor build (.1)?
Because we’re crashing blogger and celebrity geek Robert Scoble‘s mini-convention/happy hour for the DC tech community. We’ve been promised an open bar of some sort, though details are still sketchy. Of the turn-out at April’s “TECH Cocktail” is any indication, this could be very well-attended and fun event.
RSVP now on EventBrite (and check out the Facebook event page) and be sure to wear your best capitalist flair. We’ll hope to see you there as we spread the gospel of Technology Freedom to our fellow geeks.
