[Charlotte.PM] Fwd: [CharlotteJS] Charlotte Startup Weekend!

[William McKee]

Looking for something geeky to do this weekend? Check out the Startup 
Weekend. Info from the organizer below:

***

I'm Jim Van Fleet, ex-organizer of the Charlotte Ruby meetup and Linux 
User Group.  I also publish the Charlotte Startup Community e-mail 
newsletter (http://bitly.com/bigfleet-newsletter).  I've been 
co-organizing Charlotte Startup Weekend for about 18 months, and I have 
a unique problem this time around.  The team and I have been bringing on 
new sponsors and partners.  We've been pounding the pavement putting up 
signs to get word out.  I personally have had to use Facebook.  
FACEBOOK, PEOPLE.

I am going to be posting this message on every tech board I can find, 
and so some of you are going to be reading this joke more than once.  I 
am sorry about that.  But I am not sorry about stating that being polite 
hasn't worked.  Registration is low.  Our event has historically high 
levels of satisfaction across all the thousands of Startup Weekend 
events across the globe, but fewer than ever are going to be 
experiencing it this time around.

If you have plans this weekend, change them.  If you don't have plans, I 
just solved your problem.  Check out 
http://charlotte.startupweekend.org/ for more information on how to 
register, and a lot more information about why it's a good idea.  I 
really hope to see you on Friday night!

Thanks for reading and considering it.

Jim
