DateTuesday, February 3, 2009 at 9:30AM
We are on Twitter @  http://twitter.com/podcastmeetup
First I want to thank everyone for their support. Without it, this event wouldn't be possible. We have added two new sponsors since the last time I sent an email out: Brawndo and Astaro. We have also changed the schedule around a bit: 
New Schedule (FRIDAY NIGHT - Feb 6 - ):
  • 1930 - 2000 - Setup time
  • 2000 - 2100 - Live show (afterward is a transition / book signing)
  • 2100 - 2200 - FireTalks (Jack Daniel and Chris Gates have the first two slots, 2 more available)
  • 2200 ———- HacDC party
    • SATURDAY NIGHT - FireTalks will start at 2000 and go until the fire dies down.
    As you can see, we are crashing the HacDC party to close out the night. More information can be found here: http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php?title=Shmoocon_Party
    The address is: 1525 Newton St NW, Washington DC 20010 USA - (Near corner of 16th and Newton NW)
    About 1.7 miles from the Wardman Park. They have room and booze, so it's going to be worth the drive or walk.

    Podcaster's Meetup @ ShmooCon

    DateThursday, January 8, 2009 at 2:33AM
    First of all I would like to wish you all the very best of new years!
    This year will also mark the 3rd Annual Podcaster's Meetup @ ShmooCon. Our 1st Annual meetup at DefCon was a blast, and I want to thanks all of the I-Hacked.com crew for helping make it such a success. We are again looking to be sponsored by Asus, and possibly Astaro, Dell, Sunbelt Systems, TekSystems, and K-Force.



    This is the initial post to find out who's going, who's interested and to make a couple announcements.

    First Announcement:
    The Podcaster's Meetup is no longer for just podcaster's (like it ever was..), we welcome, bloggers, and twits alike to join in the fun. Everyone is welcome, and as always the free drinks afterwards.

    Second Announcement:
    Michael Santarcangelo, the Security Catalyst community and the Security Twits have come up with a group that will be doing after hours presentations. So, if you were declined, didn't submit but have a talk, or just want to learn to speak by watching the critiques that go on, please come out an join us. The main goal of these after hours talks is to foster the development of the speaker in a less imposing environment than a ShmooCon track. Depending on the responses we get, we may be doing these talks all three nights. Please email: info@podcastersmeetup.com if you are interested in talking.

    Third Announcement:
    We learned a lot form last years attempt at a contest, so instead we will giving the prizes away during the meetup! No more chasing down obscure facts about Hak5 or Larry Pesce's fetishes for you, and no need to defend a Wordpress install for me. Win-Win.



    If you have any questions at all, please feel free to shoot me an email.



    Look forward to seeing ya'll at the Wardman Park - Feb 6-8,
