In a spazz of pre-holiday excitement, we've neglected to mention the fabulous ThursdayLunch, hosted by Eric Hammond and friends over at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. 

This spiffy lunch happens (almost) every Thursday (for those of you pining for a more regular geek fix), and is an informal "friends of friends" meetup over good Westside food. 

Where: Third Street Promenade, just south of Santa Monica Blvd. 

When: @ noon, most Thursdays

Note: Interested first timers, please contact Eric Hammond at 415-234-5400 x818 so you're not a stranger when you show up.

Twiistup 3 has been announced. Come have a drink and meet many many fellow local entrepreneurs.

Presenting their products will be Askmenow, Docstoc, Gonowdo, Magento, PeopleJam, PopRule, Rubicon, Speeddate and YellowBot. But if you bring a stack of business cards and your best smile you'll be meeting dozens more. :-)
