Keep it Rockin’ and Rolling Thursday Night

On Thursday evening, after we’ve had our fill of sharing and general good times, our venue, The World Cafe Live downstairs will be hosting Sonny Landreth. A great blues guitar player, which should be an exciting show. Also, in the Upstairs, the World Cafe has said they can provide us with a Trolley for 40 people to tour the murals of Philadelphia along with a visit to Yards Brewing (it includes some beer samples too). It is called the Philadelphia Ale and Arts Adventure.

In advance, you can purchase Sonny Landreth tickets here. They should also be available the day of as well. You can even grab dinner there, as well. We will have a sign up for the Trolley tour that day.

Discounted parking for the day

Here’s a map of discounted parking lot is for the event. The cost is $15 for the day and it’s a self park lot. The attendants will be leaving at 3pm but the lot/garage will be open for people to leave after that since Bar Camp will end just after 4pm.

The Lot is located on Walnut Street, approx. one and a half blocks west of WCL, just past the Left Bank Apartment building (on right side of Walnut)

A Rockin’ RE BarCamp

We know it’s been a while and it’s taken some effort this year to get the space, but we’re very happy to announce that we will be holding RE BarCamp Philly ‘10 at the World Cafe Live.

We’ll have much more information in the 22 days we have left, but we wanted everyone to know.

Philly RE BarCamp 2010 Is Open!!

Don’t let the Banner fool you. The 2010 RE BarCamp is a go and taking registrations.

The team is already hard at work securing a location and taking care of all the details. Go to the RSVP page and register now.

Then keep checking back or add us to your feed and we’ll keep you up to date.

Want to Take a Walk?

If you have a little spare time Thursday morning, please consider joining us for a photowalk through historic Philadelphia. We’ll be meeting at 8:oo AM in the Hyatt Regency Penn’s Landing lobby and will be grabbing breakfast either before or after the walk – feel free to join us and help decide. This will be a relaxed, casual walk with friends and cameras, and we may very well make it up as we go along.

The route will likely take us past:

• The Liberty Bell, which was called the Independence Bell until 1837, when an anti-slavery group adopted it as a symbol of freedom based on the inscription, “Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof.“
• Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was debated and adopted, and which originally housed the Liberty Bell.
• The Benjamin Franklin Bridge
  
• The Philadelphia Waterfront which includes Penn’s Landing, Philadelphia Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial and Independence Seaport Museum.

We expect to walk at least a couple miles, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Click here to view the REBCPHL map for more location details.

Tickets are required for Independence Hall, so please let us know if you plan to attend in the comments below.

Registrations are now closed (Updated: They’re open)

You can now RSVP for the 2010 Philly RE BarCamp.

We had a limit of 300 registrants for RE BarCamp Philadelphia, and we are now well over that number. Unfortunately, we can’t take on any more registrations at this time. We would love to accommodate everyone and apologize if you arrived here looking to RSVP for this event.

Feel free to email rebcphl at gmail.com with any questions.

21 Day Blogging Challenge Contestants

The 21 Day Blogging challenge set forth in this post is officially on. While, admittedly, we didn’t give a lot of time to get ready to enter, we did have to make some tough decisions. The rules were easy: Send an email, every day with a link to your latest blog post for the next 21 days and hopefully using 21DBIH in the subject (the latter just makes it easier for the team). If you’re not on the list, does this mean you should stop? Of course not. Even the team, who are ineligible, are trying to improve by participating in the challenge. Any day can be DAY 1 of a habit. Why not today?
