Last SPECTRE SERIES jams of the year tomorrow night, folks. If you missed Malcolm Goldstein on Monday you missed out BIG TIME. One of the biggest crowds we've had. Some are calling it the best show they've seen this year. Unbelievable power from a single violin.

But... there's another chance to catch some more excellent music this week. DO IT.

BarCamp Albuquerque this Saturday


Its all about the web -- Design (visual, experience, information architecture), Technology (infrastructure, programming), Social and New Media, and other stuff that is just plain cool.

Edit the Wiki at http://www.barcamp.org/BarCampAlbuquerque if you plan on attending, presenting, or can help in other ways (blog about it, tweet it, FaceBook it, etc.)

And a note from organizer Chris Kenworthy:
Just a quick update and some more information. The Wiki is working again if you want to sign-up to present, just create an account on the BarCamp Wiki and add your name to the list (edit the wiki to add your name):http://barcamp.org/BarCampAlbuquerque

For those new to BarCamp you can read some background info here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp

The Albuquerque BarCamp doesn't require everyone to present and we don't stay overnight, but we do have lots of presentation time slots available and would love to hear about what you are passionate about.

BarCamp is run by the attendees (you) so if you'd like to help spread the word, bring a projector or screen, contribute some food/drinks, or just show up and present, it's all in the spirit of BarCamp.

Bigger, Faster, Stronger, WOW! Digital Marketing the Right Way (11/4)

Our Friends at Webuquerque's next event is a must-see for those interested in digital marketing -- and likely to have many web pros in the house as well. Check it out:

Bigger, Faster, Stronger, WOW! Digital Marketing the Right Way
with Reid Givens

"Marketing" is often misunderstood as the department that creates advertising. Many things have been labeled as marketing, such as blogging, running TV commercials and even putting balloons in the parking lot. It is true that marketing can do many of these tactics, but they are not the whole story.

In Bigger, Faster, Stronger, WOW! Digital Marketing the Right Way, 15 year marketing professional Reid Givens will demystify what digital marketing really is and what it is not.
"The truth of the matter is that there are too many websites, advertising campaigns and companies that misunderstand marketing, and unfortunately, fail because of it."

This talk will take a holistic look at marketing, focusing on the role digital media plays. The session will cover common mistakes and some advice on how to get it right … along side talking about movies, celebrities, bands and more.

Date, Time & Location
WHEN: Wednesday, November 4, 2009
6:30–7:30pm, with socializing following the presentation
WHERE: Uptown Sports Bar and Grill
6601 Uptown Blvd
Albuquerque, NM 87110
