If you are in Seattle, also check out the Startup Conference (http://thestartupconference.com/seattle/) on Feb 16: speakers from Seattle and Silicon Valley should make for a very entertaining day. If you want to volunteer to make the event even better, get in touch.

Should be a lot of fun - be sure to invite others! If you have any questions, just let me know.

Do people normally bring their laptops/notebooks/tablets to these things?

Nope. But feel free if you'd like!
