I'll be speaking at what is shaping up to be a fun event at Zaaz in downtown Seattle on August 14th. I'll be presenting a version of the Online Community as Party talk. The event is free and focused on folks in the local UX / usability / IA / design community. To RSVP, pleae leave a comment here.

I'm looking forward to seeing my friend Paul Ingram from Ingram Labs and hearing more about "The Effective Use of Kittens" from Jason Carmel of Zaaz and "The Art of Deep Hanging Out" from Emma Rose. Good fun - thanks for putting all this together Ryan!
