+-   NYT Night Life Reprogrammed (Party Like it's 1998)-> on Tuesday August 05 2008, @03:01AM securitas

Submitted by securitas on Tuesday August 05 2008, @03:01AM
securitas writes "Almost a decade after the Internet bubble collapsed, the New York Times reports on the revival of the Silicon Alley technology social scene — with a twist. It's now about substance. Gone are the "glitzy club ... minor celebrities, go-go dancers, an open bar and pricey giveaways" in favor of unconferences, Ignite, Pecha Kucha, ideas and "a night life that involves actually talking to creative people doing exciting things." Most major cities have a geek social scene like the NYC Soldering Championship [VIDEO] featured in the article."
