VentureBeat in LA: Digital media happy hour at The Belmont, tomorrow
To SoCal start-ups, investors and others thirsty for a refreshing blend of media and technology: You’re invited to join VentureBeat for a low-key happy hour at The Belmont Cafe in Los Angeles.
Contributing writer Patricia Handschiegel, myself and a few other tech-affiliated characters will be on the scene from 4:00pm to 7:00pm tomorrow evening. Directions here.
This isn’t an official party or anything, just a chance to get everybody connected. It’s spur of the moment because I was originally planning on meeting with folks one-on-one while I’m down here — but I’ve been swamped by meeting requests.
The Belmont itself is a watering hole for Hollywood types. Take a look at the official site here (Warning: The site starts auto-playing classic rock tunes when you visit it).
