Hoist a Pint With Xconomy’s New Team Member: Benjamin Romano

Once in a while at Xconomy Seattle we like to crawl out of our little writer dens, and meet the readers we serve in person. The time has come to do it again this Friday afternoon.

Benjamin Romano, the new tech and cleantech writer here on staff, is the guest of honor at this little informal get together. Come out tomorrow from 4 pm to 6 pm at Feierabend at 422 Yale Avenue North. Both Ben and I will be there to chat about who’s up, who’s down, and who to keep an eye on in the Seattle tech, biotech & cleantech world.

There’s no need to get any advance tickets, or RSVP. Come and go whenever you please. These happy hour-style events have typically drawn a dozen or more people in the past, so we’ll have time to meet folks in a laid-back environment. See you there at Feierabend tomorrow.
