Thursday Meetings at Berkman Blog

I’m still sick, and j is not available to lead this week’s meeting, so with my extreme apologies, I’m canceling blog group for this week.

However! You can still get your weekly dose of Berkman & geeky socialization, by joining the greater Berkman community Friday evening for Information Superhighway:

Harvard Free Culture and the Internet Company LLC Proudly Presents…

INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY ONE
A Gathering Of Boston Tech Like It’s 1997
October 24, 2008, 8 pm – Midnight
Berkman Squared, 50 Church Street, Cambridge MA

Boston is full of cool Internet people. Why aren’t they meeting each other?

INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY is Boston’s monthly party gathering hackers, activists, artists, designers, nonprofits, startups, academics and general geekery to hang out and connect with one another.

*No agenda, no networking, no presentations. Just free beverages, food, ideas and cool people.
