Atlanta Startup Drinks

The November event, held at Ignition Alley last night, was a huge success. We had over 50 people for a night of drinks and conversation. About 20 new people came for the first time, so lots of new connections were made. A great time was had by all, from the early arrivals at 5pm to the hardy bunch who made it to Cameli’s for some awesome pizza afterward.

Photos are available here. Thanks to Paul Stamatiou for the shots.

In addition, the attendees brought and donated several boxes of books for Tech High, as part of Atlanta Helps’ November book drive. Thanks so much to Shannon Hubbell for organizing the book drive, and to everyone who contributed. (If you missed it, it’s not too late to contribute — check out the Atlanta Helps blog for details.)

Many thanks to our sponsors: Ignition Alley for the venue, and Regator for the beer!

The next event will be Tuesday, December 1, at a place to be announced soon. Join our mailing list, so you don’t miss our announcements. See you there!

Thanks to everyone who came out for the event on September 1 at Cypress Street Pint and Plate. We had a wonderful evening on the patio under the stars. (Which seems totally bizarre after the monsoons of the last week.) We had over 50 people show up. All your favorite people were there. And me. The joint was hopping from 5pm until after 11pm.

The beer flowed, food was consumed, and everyone had a great time! If you don’t believe me, check out the photos. (Thanks to Matt Smith for the photography.)

In fact, everyone had such a great time, I think we’ll make it a regular event. Watch for Atlanta Startup Drinks on the first Tuesday of each month. That means the next one is October 6.

Location to be announced — watch here and on Twitter for updates.
