You are invited to the Droplabs 3-Year Anniversary Party on Friday, May 9, 2013!
We've been offering unique, high quality events and affordable coworking and small business services for over 3 years and in 2013 we were recognized as the Top Drupal Location in the world. Come celebrate with us!
Much has happened since we opened to the public in Spring, 2011, and at the start of our party our members will have a brief retrospective and share their favorite moments. We'll also have quick announcements about what we're up to in 2014, including Drupal Commerce Camp and the next Drupal Development Boot Camp.
Don't worry, this event isn't a meetup with boring presentations. There will be plenty of food and drinks, as well as a raffle prize drawing and mingling and networking for most of the evening. The party is potluck-style, so bring something to share that you like to eat or drink. Bring something to share to throw on the grill!
Sign Up!
RSVPs are being handled on Meetup.com at http://www.meetup.com/Droplabs/events/181646652/
What to Bring
Bring warm clothing and some light food, sodas or beers to share with others. Be a hero and bring good stuff to throw on the grill. Feel free to bring your business cards, but this is a social occasion and you can leave your laptop at home, in the car or in your locker at Droplabs.
Let everyone know what you're thinking of bringing by posting to the comments here or on our Meetup group at http://www.meetup.com/Droplabs/events/181646652/

I don't know if I can actually make the party. I am playing at the Topanga Banjo and Fiddle contest on 5/18 and usually attend an open mic to practice on Friday night, unless you want me to bring my guitar and play at the party? I was planning on going to the cowork session during the day.
