Announcing VanTechKaraoke right after Vancouver Bloggers Meetup!

My dear friend Maura Rodgers (Strutta) and I had been talking about doing karaoke for a long time but had never gotten around to it. Maura (along with Danny and with the awesome help of everyone at Strutta) organizes the great Launch Party Vancouver that we all in the Vancouver tech community have grown to appreciate, and I have wanted to help organize something fun and team up with Maura.

So, after the last Launch Party Vancouver, Maura and I got talking about doing something fluid, something fun that people could just attend and let loose and not have something super-structured. The idea of doing Vancouver Tech Karaoke (#vantechkaraoke) arose and we decided to call all Vancouver bloggers/tweeps/everyone who reads my blog, etc. to join us for an evening of singing and hanging out with friends.

WHAT – Inaugural Vancouver Tech Karaoke
WHERE – Shenanigan’s (Blue Horizon Hotel) – 1225 Robson Street.
WHEN – Wednesday April 8th, 2009 – Any time after 8:00pm (we’ll try to be there by 8pm).
WHY – Just because we like karaoke and we want you to join us.
HOW MUCH – Cover is free on Wednesdays. Isn’t it awesome?

I am going to try to get a Facebook event but I can’t promise as I’m over-worked. But if you feel like coming, why not drop a comment here informally (leaving a comment doesn’t commit you to come by, but it’d be fun :)

Hope to see you all there! It will be right after Vancouver Bloggers Meetup so we can segway from VBM to Vancouver Tech Karaoke :)

Do you have to be a techie?

I’m not a techie, and I’m going. But I’m not singing!

I thought they should do Launchaoke, so you’d have to sing your company’s pitch.
