Speak Up is (very) proud to introduce the first off-line event completely thought-through and customized to fit our desires. Or so I would like to think.
seriouSeries will be small and intimate gatherings where we will talk about — what else? — design in every way possible. Ideally they will happen every month. And ideally this will be something that happens in many cities at the same time (details will be worked out and announcements made as necessary). Another ideal is to have a guest speaker (hey, you can’t throw out all the conventions out the window at the same time) who will not have a podium, nor a microphone and will actually be kicked out of the room if s/he dares bring a PowerPoint presentation. No guest speaker? No problem — we only need somebody willing to lead the evening.
These series are intended to be open, devoid of hierarchy and bureaucracy, two-way conversations and, the key word, small. Yet serious.
Who is our first guest?
The inimitable Rick Valicenti will be making a house-call this coming Thursday, September 25, 2003 at 6:30 PM. My place.
See the invitation, download it (194 Kb PDF), print it, hang it, love it!
seriouSeries, in this first case, is only open to fifteen people (my apartment ain’t that big). First come, first serve. A few things to consider:
— It’s in Chicago, so you must be here or someweher near here
— I live in the northside, for those of you in the know I’m around 5800 North
— That would mean a lovely drive up Lake Shore Drive all the way to Hollywood
— It’s a Thursday evening
— It will be absolutely amazing
Seriously, if you sign up (see below), please have all the intentions of coming as there is only room for fifteen eager people. I can guarantee a wonderful evening.
Want to sign up then? Simply send me an email with your intentions. Please do so by September 18.
Wish I could make it. Sounds like a great evening, but commuting from san jose, ca could be a little tough.
