Welcome to Hops and Chops

Just the Facts:

  • Where? - Linda’s Tavern (Capitol Hill) - 707 E Pine St, Seattle, WA 98122
  • When? - 6:30pm, every Thursday (starting 9/25/08)
  • Who/What? - Startup junkies, networkers, folks interested in learning new things and meeting new people, activists, and fun people!
  • Why? - Here’s the gist:
    • We were inspired by a fantastic recurring Portland happy hour event called Beer and Blog semi-coordinated by Silicon Florist & others.
    • We liked that it’s recurring and in a set-location — you can just put it on your calendar, and there’ll always be a few folks to catch up with.
    • Folks who start companies are frequently inundated with “let’s have coffee/lunch” requests — this gives you a way to aggregate them and make intros/network in real-time.
  • Other? - Idea is that maybe we’ll bring in speakers from time to time… maybe tech-related, or maybe just cool/fun to help you learn something new/meet someone new.  We aren’t stressing over it… we’ll figure it out as we go.
  • Notifications? - Sign up for our Hops and Chops Twitter or follow the Hops and Chops RSS feed.

Hope to see you at an upcoming Hops and Chops!
