The Beard Rocks WWDC — IT’S A PARTY!

While at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference this year, I’ll be reporting on what’s happening with all things Apple, but I’ll also be hosting The Loop’s first ever party.

I decided to go all out for this event and I think it’s going to be a great place to be. I rented out the fourth floor outside terrace at the W Hotel on June 12 to hold the party. It’s close to Moscone and a short walk from all the major hotels, so it’s convenient.

I also hired a live band, but not just any live band — this is a karaoke band. They will get up and play all night, but if you want to sing, just pick a song and jump up on stage. It may be the only time you get to sing with a live band.

The Amazing Embarrassonics are not only a lot of fun, they are very talented musicians too. I’ve seen them play before and can’t wait to have them at the party.

Invites to the party will go out later this week. It is an invite-only event that will offer free beer and wine for those that attend. If you do receive an invite, make sure you RSVP because if your name is not on the list, they won’t let you in the door.

I’m excited! See you at the beard party next month!

    I can’t get down to SF that day. I’m in the middle of a five-week run of a musical and just can’t make the drive down. I hope you send me an invite just so I can feel good about having received one. I promise to RSVP in the negative.

    Remember that you don’t want your party to be a sausage-fest! ;)

    • http://crankygeek.com Jack Brewster

      Unless there’s actual sausage.

        Hi,

        I heard about this kick ass party tonight. I don’t have an invitation but I would love to know how to get one for me and my date?

  • http://twitter.com/The_Tick Chris Forsythe

    Put me on the list. Can you guys make a calendar file we can download?

    • http://www.loopinsight.com Jim Dalrymple

      Calendar file?

      • Peter Cohen

        … because you can’t possible add it to your calendar yourself? :)

        • http://twitter.com/The_Tick Chris Forsythe

          Sure, it’s not hard to remember or add it yourself. I just figured that it’d be pretty easy so that everyone has the address/any comments you want to put in. If you guys toss me an invite I’ll make my own. :)

  • Mitchell Flax

     Not that I’m not about you and your buddies having a good time, but it’s not that cool to tell everyone you’re going to have an exclusive party and that only the coolest people you know are invited.  Take pictures and tell the rest of us schmucks about it afterward.

    I propose an open not-invited-to-Jim’s-thing party at Bender’s that night.

    • Peter Cohen

      Have fun!

    Hmm. How about an invitation for a young iOS-developing-freshly-college-graduated Pole to make the sours of real life slightly sweeter? ;-)
