POPSignal Mix 3 – May 21st 2009

Jay Meattle — Wed, 20 May 2009 17:30:10 +0000

What is POPSignal Mix:

Keeping the PopSignal spirit alive this is informal, no agenda/speeches/presentations. Just a small fun group, good drinks, good food, and good conversations.
We invite an initial group to each event and ask them to invite +1’s to keep fresh blood coming to the group.

Since the +1’s were a big hit last time, we’re going with it again, but with a slight change in format — we’re keeping the group to the same size as last time until 8pm. It’s going to be just us and our new +1’s, after which we’re going to open PSMix3 up to anyone who wants to join in the fun, including our +1’s from PSMix2.
