TECH cocktail 2 @ The Gramercy
September 16, 2006
It’s time for TECH cocktail 2! We are pleased to announce that the second TECH cocktail will be held on October 12, 2006 from 6:30 to 9pm at The Gramercy. The Gramercy, in pure web 2.0 fashion, offers a lot of white space so we are sure you will like it.
Just like TECH cocktail 1 (watch video) this event is free and open to the public with some complimentary beer (thanks to Coastr) and is sponsored by midPhase hosting. However, unlike our first event there will also be a cash bar offered - yes you can order a martini if you like! We hope that you join us for an evening of fun mingling with other technology enthusiasts, VCs, bloggers and entrepreneurs. A few of the hottest Midwest startups will be demoing their products.
YOU MUST RSVP VIA THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO ATTEND (feel free to leave your name, blog/website and/or company).
The Gramercy can be easily reached via the, Red, Brown or Purple line CTA trains by exiting at the Fullerton stop. Walk east down Fullerton to Lincoln Avenue (the angled street) taking a hard left. Gramercy is on the west side of the street near the Biograph Theater.
SAVE THE DATE: Thursday, October 12, 2006 for TECH cocktail at the Gramercy!
