Houston techies hit the bar

If you want to help Houston further push the tech agenda along, then BarCamp Houston is for you. The organizers were nice enough to add me to the list and I've talked to a few Houston tech players that will be there.

I plan to go too if my 30 minute special that airs this Sunday night after the late newscast on abc 13 doesn't get in the way. (Nice plug!)

The conference is this Saturday and Sunday. Here are the details:

Date: June 10, 2006
Time: Starts at 10:00am until ???
Location:
Buddha Lounge
