On July 31 there is a Social Rockstar Networking Dinner in DC. It is a chance to meet and greet others interested in web technology, social web/networking, and entrepreneurial areas. This event will be a fun and rewarding way to connect with others, and there will be focus areas for people of like interests to discuss topics. Read more about it here: http://web.meetup.com/59
On July 17th there is a social networking event - the Twin Tech Party (TwinTechDC)- and 1Piazza is sponsoring a night to remember. The reason for the event includes bringing together the twin types of entrepreneurial tech in this town… the established and the newer (including “web 2.0″) startup types. The article that spurred the idea is http://blog.washingtonpost.com/washbizblog/2008/06/tech_post_choose_your_own_head.html. The event has recently been posted, and is still being set up in terms of location. We’ll be at the event, conducting interviews and enjoying meeting new people.
And we’ve thrown the OpenCoffee event the next morning into the mix as the “Morning-After Party” at around 9am (8:30am for those who like to be on time!).

After debating several names, the winner is
1 Piazza
… which embodies the wonderful social energy of a public piazza with centuries of traditions, with the idea of “one” place to go for socializing, learning, relaxing… while perhaps taking some pictures, going to the bank, doing some commerce, eating, drinking, and finding new friends. Someday we’ll dig up photos of some traditional piazza birds, and for now enjoy this snowy “birds taking off” photo for this launch-day post.
