That’s about the ONLY thing bad about being a single mom, I miss the coolest events sometimes!! But it’s a good thing that the guys at Startuphouston.com and awesome people at the event contribute so much, for us poor pitiful souls! If you haven’t had a chance to go to a barcamp, you must, you just absolutely must!!

clipped from www.startuphouston.com BarCamp Houston 2008: I Am Still Exhausted If you did not get a chance to attend the happy hour at Caroline Collective Friday night or BarCamp Houston on Saturday at the Houston Technology Center, you missed out on two fantastic opportunities to socialize, collaborate and gain an education on why Forbes magazine calls Houston a, “bubbling entrepreneurial tech scene.” Here are some things that I walked away with after the event: Bringing lunch in was the best idea I ever had. Last year, we all broke away for lunch and the event fizzled out after that. This year, we brought in Pappas BBQ and I believe it was a huge hit. Thanks to Ed Schipul for taking charge during feeding time to speed up the process. Most everyone was surprised that lunch was catered and it helped us recharge for the afternoon sessions.
