Strandups Blog http://www.strandups.com Strands - Coming to a city near you. Thu, 04 Sep 2008 05:23:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 en Strandup Philly - Pure Awesome! http://www.strandups.com/2008/08/31/strandup-philly-pure-awesome/ http://www.strandups.com/2008/08/31/strandup-philly-pure-awesome/#comments Sun, 31 Aug 2008 19:06:45 +0000 drew http://www.strandups.com/?p=34 So it’s fun watching the Strandup “formula” evolve. Tonight was our second one, and it was held in Philadlephia, on the eve of the big Indy Hall One Year Anniversary bash.

We had a great crew out last night, and we talked about ourselves, and did our best to not mention tech. What did we learn? We found someone who loves ketchup, someone else who fences (there was a fella in Seattle who fenced too!), and that dirtbikers are all ages.

Tons of video to come, but the first one comes from one of Indy Hall’s founders, Alex Hillman.

We had a blast talking to y’all and hearing about what you’re into that doesn’t involve tech.

The next logical stop is Philadelphia, right? The co-working space Indy Hall is celebrating its first year anniversary so we’re going to be there to support them and have a Strandup the day before. Mark your calendars for this Saturday August 30th at 6:30pm ET. We’ll livestream and such but if you can be there, please come!

Check out the official post from Alex and Indy Hall.

Here’s a quick video of our pre-strandup-game in Seattle during Gnomedex. We’ll be posting videos from everyone who participated soon! You’ll see how tough it was to talk about anything/everything BUT tech.

What is it?  It’s a gathering where every single person gets 30 seconds to talk about themselves.   What music they like, what other tastes they have…anything.   After they talk, then you can approach them and make friends!  Think speed dating but without the dating (but you never know!).   Strands prides itself on making recommendations to you, helping you find the things you might like but haven’t found yet.

So now we’re bringing into the real world with Strandups.

Our first one will be in Seattle during the Gnomedex conference.   Interested in attending?  Email me at Drew at Strands dot com
