Pasadena / San Gabriel Valley Drupal Meetup at Pasadena City College on June 27, 2013
End the month with some fun and Drupal at the San Gabriel Valley Drupal Meetup at Pasadena City College on Thursday, June 27, 2013 from 6-8pm!
New to Drupal or the SGV Drupal meetup? See http://groups.drupal.org/node/295838#comment-918913 for notes from a recent meeting. Here's a testimonial from a happy attendee:
This is a very well organized and informative session. We got a good mix of senior developers and new comers and some in between. It is a pretty good turn out with 11 people considering it is in Pasadena right around rush hours. People are just terrific, very friendly and ready to help others. Feels like I have moved forward by leaps and bounds. Thanks everyone!

You are invited to the Droplabs 2-Year Anniversary Party on June 8, 2013!
That's right, we've been offering unique, high quality events and affordable coworking space and office services for 2 years. 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.
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!
Let everyone know what you're thinking of bringing by posting to the comments on our Meetup group at http://www.meetup.com/Droplabs/events/122942502/
