Thank You From the “Staff”

This wouldn’t have been a successful event without attendees, facilitators, and sponsors. We thank you for the kind things you have said on the tweets and Facebook comments and on this blog, but we’d like to turn it back toward you now. Y’all were great to hang with for the day.

We had about 200 pop in throughout the day, which is not too shabby given it’s our first RE BarCamp in the Twin Cities.

This also makes the owner of the rented space happy. He was worried about the fact that 400 registered (actually it was more like 430, but sshhh) for a floor that is really meant for 200. We did our research, and it seems that free events tend to have a 50% turnout.

I’m not sure what that says about our noncommital society, but whatever the case, it worked in the favor of RE BarCamp – Minneapolis-Saint Paul. We were thrilled with the turnout, and we anticipate that we’ll need a bigger boat for the next one.

Try not to forget about us over the next month. We’ll be posting material from presenters here. We have already posted several photos over on our Facebook Fan Page.

PreBarCamp Tweetup at Maxwell’s

gsax — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:06:07 +0000

There will be a pre-event gathering the night before at Maxwell’s, located at 1201 Washington Ave S, just down the street from Spill the Wine. Typically, this event is called “Beer with Bloggers,” but you don’t have to blog or even microblog (i.e., tweet) to hang out. Just be nice.

We’ll call this event a PreBarCamp Tweetup. Spread the word.

Location: Maxwell’s
Address: 1201 Washington Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55415
Date: Monday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m.
Until: We’re tired and nervous about waking up early for RE BarCamp the next day!
