This is also a great opportunity for networking, and yes, we have name-tags. (NOTE: It's $5 to cover food and other costs, but if you didn't RSVP, it's $10 at the door.) New to lean? That's okay! Go to TheLeanStartup.com (http://theleanstartup.com/), check out WikiPedia's Definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_Startup) and tune into the Startup Lessons Learned (http://www.startuplessonslearned.com/) blog, and come prepared for the meetup.
