Too Many Gas Stations

I’ve been watching the gas issues we’ve been having in Atlanta with some interest.  For those of you not in Atlanta (or the southeast U.S.), you may not realize or know that we’ve had some issues in getting a regular supply of gasoline since Hurricane Ike came through the Gulf of Mexico.

Atlanta Open Coffee - September 23, 2008

I’m going to stop recounting how many people are showing up to these events now.  The number ebbs and flows depending on time, location, and other events.  Needless to say, it’s quite a few.

We’re going to mix it up for the upcoming Open Coffee and head up to Roswell.  It’ll be September 23, 2008 from 2pm until 5pm.  Keith McGreggor’s wife is a co-owner of a shop up there and has agreed to let us hang out.  Before you ask, yes there is free WiFi.  I’ve also heard (mainly from Keith on Twitter) that the cookies are fantastic.  I’ll be the judge of that.  :-)

The address of the shop is: KellyKakes/Party Chic, 953 Canton Street, Roswell, GA 30075.  If you’re an entrepreneur, angel investor, or VC you’re welcome to join us. If you’re not one of those three things, you’re welcome to stay away from this get together.

Feel free to RSVP below or on the Upcoming event. Or don’t and just show up. Whatever.

START Atlanta Coming This Weekend

Some local entrepreneurs have decided to do a get together this coming weekend and see if some constructive solutions can’t be hammered out when it comes to local seed funding.  The event, START Atlanta, is scheduled for September 19-21st at Appcelerator’s offices (yes, they still have offices and people here even though the company moved to the west coast).

If you’re interested in attending, make sure you register on their Facebook event (yes, that means you have to have a Facebook account).

Get the Juicy Gossip

For those of you who follow me on Twitter, this announcement will not come as a surprise.  For the last few weeks I’ve been tooling around with PHP and Yahoo Pipes in order to get a new news and information aggregator up and running.

Atlanta Open Coffee - September 9, 2008

We keep chugging along.  We had some 30+ people show up to Cafe Intermezzo last week to hang out for Open Coffee.  I won’t go through the list of folks who showed up but you can take a look at the photos and see who was there for yourself (thanks to Josh Watts for taking and posting the photos!).

The next Open Coffee will be back at Georgia Tech but this time we’re going to be in the Entrepreneurs Resource Center at ATDC.  We’ll be convening at 2pm until 5pm on September 9, 2008.  If you’re an entrepreneur, angel investor, or VC you’re welcome to join us.  If you’re not one of those three things, you’re welcome to stay away from this get together.

ATDC might be hooking us up with some drinks but I’m not sure how much and if it’ll sustain the large crowd that this tends to attract.  Feel free to RSVP below or on the Upcoming event.  Or don’t and just show up.  Whatever.
