The Saturday Set-Up Crew

Hey BarCampers! Looking forward to this weekend? We are!
Because there are drinks to be iced, breakfast to be arranged, cars to be unloaded, signs to be made and hung, chairs to distribute and so much more, we need a crew of people to show up and help us out.
For the early birds, we’ll provide some food and sweet, glorious coffee. One of the added bonuses of doing this is that you’ll get to know a few people a little better before the Camp starts. So if you’re new to BarCamp, this could be a great way to ease yourself into getting to know people.
It’s also an easy way of contributing if you’re feeling too shy to do…

BarCampLA 7: Save the Date!

We still need to get a few more ducks lined up before we announce our brand new (and super awesome) venue — but since BarCampLA 7 is exactly one month away, we thought we’d give y’all a chance to mark your calendars.
So go ahead and keep May 2nd and 3rd open. And if you can, consider RSVP’ing over on Upcoming or Facebook. Having an idea of who might be coming is rather helpful for event planners, you know?
As for the venue announcement, keep an eye on the the BarCampLA Twitter account, this blog and the BarCampLA Google Group. So pick your favorite way to stay up to date and we’ll be in touch, alright?

The Hitchhiker’s Guide To BarCampLA-6

With about a day left until BarCampLA-6, I thought I’d run down everything you might possibly need to know.  Please keep in mind that I might have recycled some of this material from a previous BarCampLA guide — so if the material seems familiar, it probably is.  We’ll just chalk it up to being under the gun, okay?

Our fantastic venue sponsors at Mahalo and Causecast have given us a really great space — and it couldn’t be easier to reach.  Take the 10, get off at Lincoln Blvd., make a right on Colorado Ave. and you’re there!  Seriously, we’re a cinch to get to.  There’ll be plenty of parking in both the…

First Look: BarCampLA-6 T-Shirt

Another BarCamp means another t-shirt.  Wanna sneak peek?  Of course you do:

Our pals over at Oddica put us in touch with a printer who cut us a really sweet deal — so there’ll be plenty of shirts for everyone.  Still, we’re expecting quite a few folks over the course of the weekend.  If you want to guarantee you get your size, show up early and help us set up next Saturday. ;)
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone!  And don’t forget to sign up on the wiki if you’re planning on attending.
See y’all in a week!
Jason, Chris, Kitchen and Bronwyn
