Welcome to back to the work week Philadelphia. It’s a good thing that nothing happened this weekend to spoil the great weather. Yep, there was nothing going down that ruined the warmer-than-usual Fall weather. Nothing to crush the hopes of an entire city.
Right?
Moving on. This week, Ignite Philly picks back up, Philly gets its first Wordcamp and IndyHall teams with Geekadelphia to get scary.
Tuesday, October 26th: At Ignite Philly, speakers have five minutes to enlighten a packed house at Johnny Brenda’s in Fishtown. Check our reviews of past Ignites and be sure to head out to number six. We hear the speakers are awesome. Nudge. Nudge. Fishtown. 6:00 p.m. INFO.
Friday, October 29th: Regular readers of TP will know how much we love our brothers (and sisters) at Geekadelphia. While its not technically a technology event, we dig the blog’s fourth annul Halloween party they are throwing with Indy Hall at Tattooed Moms. South Philly. 8 p.m. INFO.
Saturday, October 30th: We’re in love with WordPress, after all, TP runs on the popular content management system. So we’re glad to see the WordPress crew roll into Philly for the city’s first ever Wordcamp. We’ll be speaking in the morning about our new directory. North Philly. All Day. INFO.
