A few weeks ago I tweeted about throwing a Halloween party in Philly. I had an idea for a geeky costume and figured just walking around the streets of Philly, almost no one would get it.

Alex Hillman heard me loud and clear, and in his typical fashion, got to work immediately. With the help of Robert Perry, co-owner of Tattooed Mom, Alex was able to setup a date and time! The event will be held on Thursday, October 30th at 9pm. Make sure to wear your geekiest Halloween costumes, just try to pull them off a little better than those guys above!

Next Tuesday will mark the return of Ignite Philly. The event which was first introduced in the spring by The Hacktory, P’unk Ave and Make:Philly, features presentations from local forward thinkers in an interesting format. Each speaker has 5 minutes to display 20 slides which transition automatically, making for a very to the point presentation. Josh Kopelman, the original founder of Half.com, Managing Director of First Round Capital and most importantly, Philly-area resident, will be hosting the event.

This is a great place to make friends and network with great people from the Philly area. The last event was a wild success with the entire upstairs of Johnny Brenda’s packed, so get there early, and make sure to come say hi! If you can’t make it, there will be a live video stream which I will post the link for later.
