Message-ID: Hi folks, Ric Turner isn't able to make it on Sunday (due to some secret mission of some sort), so we're inviting anybody (you) to bring in your own projects to give a 5 minute presentation. If you have a project you've been working on and want to share it with the Dorkbot SoCal crowd, this is your chance to get feedback from the group. No "formal" presentation required! Also, this event is planned on being video recorded, put online and (hopefully) streamed live. Now you can be famous. See you Sunday, Garnet -- http://www.conceptlab.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Thomas Edwards Date: Sat, May 9, 2009 at 3:21 PM Subject: [dorkbotsocal-announce] Dorkbot SoCal 35 - May 17 To: dorkbotsocal-announce@dorkbot.org Dorkbot SoCal 35 ***** Sunday, May 17, 2009 ***** 1:00pm ***** Machine Project ***** 1200 D North Alvarado Street ***** Los Angeles, CA 90026 Presenters will include: John Arroyo http://www.remixin.com/ John is a composer, producer and DJ and is involved with an iterative remix project called Remixin.
