Hacker News Seattle Meetup 6

The sixth Hacker News Seattle Meetup will be Tuesday, February 7th at 5:30pm at the Bookr offices in downtown Fremont. (PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGE.)

As always, the event is free, and there will be free pizza, beer, and refreshments. Ben Huh, CEO of The Cheezburger Network, will be speaking this month.

I worked with Ben during the SOPA/PIPA blackouts and was very impressed by how much of himself he threw into the cause. He'll be speaking about activism, getting involved in what you believe in, and not being afraid to take a stand.

As always, there are a couple companies that are critical in helping make this event happen.

-Big thanks to Bookr (http://bookr.net/) for providing the venue again. They're a startup looking to disrupt the music ticketing space with a great product, good analytics, and a kickass Ruby dev team (and they're looking to hire). They also have a really cool space (and an awesome rooftop deck!).

-Rooster Park (http://www.roosterpark.com/), who is sponsoring a fourth time! They're a small, engineering-driven consultancy and staffing firm, finding the right people and building great software for some of Seattle's best companies, from gigantic to garage.

-Future Advisor (http://futureadvisor.com), a local YC company, will also be sponsoring this month's event! They give people data-driven advice to help manage their investments.
