JavaScript Meetup #4; alert("Lightning Talks");

Hey All! We're back again. Taking August off, and Meeting up in EARLY SEPTEMBER.

If you would like to do a talk (all skill levels welcome!), do a pull at our repo here: https://github.com/DetroitJS/meetup-4-talks
if you don't github, contact me and I'll do it for you. Talks are 5 to 10 minutes in length with questions afterward.

Also we're looking for a permanent location that can seat a 100. Preferably a business that sells food, drink, has a projection mechanism and wifi. If you know of a good venue, let me know.

Talks are:
