Social Tech Brewing Co.

In usual last-minute fashion, I’d like to announce the occurrence of a July 7th Social Tech Brewing gathering. After a brief hiatus in June to enjoy the first appearance of summer, we’re back and ready to resume pro-social activities of all sorts!

This month, as an Ode to the Interweb, the gathering will feature a distributed and spontaneous discussion of “cool tools” that deserve your attention – from free and open-source PBXs and voice-over-IP phones to Web services and Wacom tablets – you’re sure to learn about at least one new thing (or site, or something!).

I’ve asked a few folks to kick off the evening with short (bring the gong) monologues about their favourite new-new thing. And, as usual, the floor will be open for you to share your favourites too.

THEN … AT 7PM SHARP … WE’LL HEAD DOWN THE STREET TO THE ABOVE THE CLOUDS LAUNCH PARTY (http://abovetheclouds.tv)

Above the Clouds is an innovative, e-mail delivered, alternative travel show that explores concepts of transcendence through a series of Canadian interactive shorts. The producer, Mark Greenspan, is a friend of Social Tech Brewing and has invited us out for the launch.

More details are available (and please RSVP) at Upcoming.org.

Come. Bring a friend. Bring a “cool tool.”

Phillip.
