Tonight // Chic Meets Geek @ Automattic

11/05/09 - Posted by Carmel Hagen under Industry, OneRiot News

picture-642 Tonight, OneRiot is attending an event that we’re totally tickled over. Presented by Carol Tran in conjunction with the San Francisco Opera, the party will mesh the Bay Area’s tech community with a rather rare set of people in the computer world - those who know their shoe from their shoelace.

It’s called Chic Meets Geek, and it will attempt to connect the dots between high tech and high society amidst a blur of presentations, demos, mixed drinks and mingling. Among the words we shall apparently be able to utter in the same breath while in attendance: Stem Cells, Hackery, Mick Jagger, Android, Dallas Cowboys, MTV and Shark Tank. We’ll certainly be trying to squeeze as many of those in as possible during our OneRiot demo, so if you’ve a free night ahead of you, click on over this way to nab a ticket - we’d love to meet you there!

Where: Automattic, Pier 38
When: 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Event Website: http://ow.ly/wI5J

In attendance: Randi Zuckerberg, Facebook; Matt Mullenweg, Founder of Automattic & WordPress; Damon Dunn, Former NFL Football Player of the Dallas Cowboys; Mattin Noblia, Reality Star of Top Chef Las Vegas & Owner/Chef of Iluna Basque & more!
