Florida Creatives Happy Hour + SXSWi March 16, 2009

This month several of our regular Florida Creatives attendees will be in Austin for the South by South West Interactive conference, so our regular third-Monday Happy Hour will be going on in 2 cities simultaneously! (I expect pictures, people! This will be the first time I'll ever miss a regular happy hour) Those of us in Austin will be coordinating over twitter - @liberatr @xentek @corycollier @etanowitz @whiteafrican

2009 is going to be a big year for Florida Creatives, and this month's happy hour is going to be the kick-off to a lot of that activity. We are starting a monthly conference call for a steering committee, so look at floridacreatives.com for more details.

This group is dedicated to building a creative identity for Florida, and helping our community develop a sense of ownership and fostering traditions. If you are the kind of person who hates to sit on the sidelines, come and meet some likeminded folks - people who are always learning, working to change the world, looking to create something new, or people who just like being social.

Folks from a wide variety of jobs and interests - designers, poets, programmers, entrepreneurs, bloggers, podcasters, painters, filmmakers, musicians, actors - plus plenty of friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, husbands, and acquaintances get together for some delicious Cajun/Creole food (and the ever-popular hot tots and fried pickles), beverages, and discussion.

Thanks for 2 awesome years of your input, ideas, friendship and support. This group is reaching a new plateau, it is entirely due to our members, whom we ask little of, but who give us so much.

Admission is free, there is no sign-up form, there are no nametags, just come and be yourself, and the creatives will guide you from there!
