Hey folks — it’s been a fantastic year - who’s up for a Hops & Chops 2012 celebration? Auto Battery. Next Thursday Dec 20. Rumor has it @daryn is buying beer :-)
Seattle APIs and IPAs - Feb 20, 2013
What is APIs & IPAs?
In an effort to get to know and support developers in the thriving tech communities all over the country, Singly is heading out on the road to throw API happy hours.
This is not about marketing, and it’s not about sales. APIs & IPAs is focused on community. We want to support your local tech community, and we want to get to know developers everywhere.
In each city, we’re partnering with local companies that strive to build developer communities, as well as non-local developer-centric companies.
All you have to do is show up ready to talk shop – and we’ll foot the bill for drinks.
Seattle’s APIs and IPAs event is sponsored by Apptentive, SEOmoz, and Singly. Hope to see you there.
Let’s kick off Hops and Chops 2012!
Hey folks — we admit that Hops and Chops organization has been a little bit lax for the last few weeks (OK… months). So, let’s kick off 2012 with a good week this week. Would be great to catch up, and rumor has it that I’ll be buying at least 5 pitchers… 10 if Tony Wright or Todd Sawicki show up :-)
Holiday 2011 Hops & Chops — tomorrow (Thursday) night!
Same place (Auto Battery Bar, on Capitol Hill), starting at same time (6:30pm) as ever.
And, as a special bonus, I recently found two Hops & Chops t-shirts (size Large, sporting TeachStreet’s own JetPack Joe Sunga) — first folks to request them in-person, get ‘em!
See you soon… let’s toast Holiday 2011 in Hops & Chops style :-)
p.s. Oh, and if you’re going to be late, be sure to let us know via the TouchBase App (specially priced at $2.99 for Hops & Chops regulars…) — it’s groove-ilicious
Free beer at Hops and Chops this Thursday — hope to see you at Auto Battery - 6:30pm
Come with ideas for Startup Weekend EDU projects — if you need a few to fire up your imagination, check out the edu-ideas that have already been submitted for consideration (and vote for your favorites!).
Oh yeah… and if you’re going to come to Hops and Chops this week, let us know via this page:
Ready to Get A Real Job (at a fast-growing Seattle startup)?
Calling all Developers, Designers and UX/front-end Geniuses. Are you ready to finally make the jump from BigCo (Amazon, Microsoft, Real, etc)?
If so, several of the Seattle area’s fastest-growing startups are hiring, and they’re making it incredibly easy for you to dip your toes in the water and see what they’ve got going on, and how it compares to your current digs.
Come register for the Get A Real Job Fair (Mon Sept 12, 6pm) — extra bonus is a kick-off discussion with/by Nat Brown, on developer startup life. Nat started as a Microsoft Developer and helped build COM+, XML, XBox and then went on to build iLike (sold to MySpace) and Rel8tion (sold to Facebook).
Hops and Choppers, ready to do some edu-hacking? Join us at Startup Weekend EDU over the 9/30-10/2 weekend. It’s gonna be awesome. Keynote speaker Mitch Kapor (ya know, invented Louts, et al). 100s of local entrepreneurs. $-rich VCs and Angels ;-) And, all to create some software to improve the state of education. Read all about Startup Weekend EDU.
Plus, you have a limited time chance to get Startup Weekend EDU discount tickets — but, even at full-price, this is going to be fantastic.
Sponsors include Maveron, Beacon Law Advisors, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft BizSpark, WowRack, Square 1 Bank, and more — that all means that we’re gonna have great food, and lots of beverages!
What are you waiting for? Register now — space is limited!
Field Trip this week!
One of the core tenets behind Hops & Chops is “Same Bat-Time, Same Bat-Channel”, but every now and then an event conflicts with the schedule and, well, who are we to turn down free beer?
So, this Thursday, August 18th:
- DO NOT pass GO.
- DO NOT collect $200.
- DO NOT show up at Auto Battery.
Instead, come join us in celebrating the growing success of our friends Estately and Nine By Blue at their new offices downtown.
Startup Weekend Seattle hosts this second-annual bash at GasWorks Park, with help from Startup Digest, and media partner GeekWire. Enjoy some tasty eats and drinks, and come-one come-all for lawn games, including bocci, croquet, and every recovering-midwesterner’s favorite: corn hole. Startuppers can’t get enough foosball, so bring your A-game. Mix it up with entrepreneurs, investors and geeks. Tickets are cheap and will go fast, so sign up today.
Entrepreneurs need to gather lots of feedback about their idea. 95% of the feedback is wrong. Great entrepreneurs succeed because they figure out which 95% of the feedback to throw out.
— Galen Ward, CEO/Founder of online real estate company Estately, in response to @JasonFreedman’s great blog post yesterday entitled “Don’t give bullshit advice”.
Go read Jason’s post if you haven’t already, as there is more to the message than the title, but I think Galen’s got it right. (via daryn)
