Thinking about having a make shift Holiday Party at Citizen Desk.  Nothing to fancy-shmancy, just an excuse to get “the gang” together.  Who’s in? 

We’ve been talking about getting a meet-up going at CitizenWausau.com for some time now.  I’d like to throw out an idea for the first meet-up. How about organizing a Designer’s Meeting? Could be web designers, graphic designers, anyone who creates content.  How does that sound?  Maybe December 10th? Looking for feedback . . . 

Last week we hosted a Launch Party for Citizen Wausau at Citizen Desk. We had a great time and the event really got people talking - in fact, we were asked several times if it could become a monthy event - or at least one that happens more frequently. This got me thinking.

Why not create other opportunities to take this online community offline?

I imagine being able to host groups, clubs or individuals for organized (or unorganized) meet-ups. There was this non-profit meet-up I used to attend in San Francisco called Net Squared, where they partnered non-profs with technology. Pretty cool stuff.

A couple of weeks ago I attended a larger scale meet-up called Barcamp in Milwaukee. This was an “un-conference” where anyone could participate or present. It was an amazing chance to network with other geeks in the state, reconnect with old Wausau acquaintances and make many more new ones!

Back in the RockWater days we used to have LAN parties for online gaming and that sort of thing - it was a great time!

That said, we have this space at Citizen Desk that could be perfect for these sorts of activities.
