Welcome to Drupal Heaven, Part 1: Official Welcome Party Tonight!
Hey! All you 1400+ beautiful & awesome geeks that were so lucky to get tickets… Here’s an update from the King of Denmark.
It was awesome to see that many people yesterday to the pre-party yesterday night. I hope everyone came home in good order. Even though the bartender couldn’t really figure out when he wanted to close the bar down, it still looked like everyone had a good time, and as always it’s a blast to be among Drupalers.
Tonight we have a “good-to-see-you DrupalCon DC Kick-off Party“ at the Stetson’s Bar and Local16 Restaurant. Both places are up at U street and a short two stops on the subway from the Convention Center.
There are food & drink happy hours until 9 pm at both places, so come hungry and plan to eat dinner and then hang out late with the whole Drupal community. Both places will open just after the last sessions let out. :)
Its really easy to go to just take the metro, and if you want to share a cab it will be cheap — $6-7 bucks. Development Seed is hosting the party, and they’ll have volunteers in the subway directing traffic to make sure you don’t have to think about where you’re going. :)
Use the Twitter, Luke
We are a lot of people!
We need to spread out, so we don’t end up filling one bar up, and the rest of the 800 people have to go home because of the lack of space. We don’t want anyone ending up all sad because they coudn’t hang out with the cool geeks. ;)
So the masterplan is that we will use Twitter to coordinate where people are gonna be at. Use #drupalcon, and tweet @drupalcon and we’ll pass on any info.
If you’re really clever, tweet ‘em to me @mortendk then I’ll make sure that everyone in the Kingdom of Geek will know about it.
