#PrezD2012, The American Presidential Debates, #NYTech style…
Hello New Nurd City!
With America’s Presidential election in full swing, the Open NY Forum and New Work City are teaming up to present you the 2012 Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates, aka #PrezD2012…
Like all proper #NYTech events, we are going to nurd out at 11! We will have three screens – the candidates, our own backchannel (aka #PrezD2012), and (hopefully) a ‘truth sayers wall’ calling out all the “miss-facts” / “untruths” / or as the ‘real’ America calls them “lies…”
As we are startupistas, this is a BYOB event. Feel free to bring your favourite Red, Blue, Purple, Green, Black/Red or Rainbow drinking bingo board. Hell, bring a few copies for your neighbour. While seating is limited to 50, I can promise you the lies won’t be.
Don’t forget to bring your Red, Blue, Purple, Green, Black/Red, or Rainbow party propaganda and join us for #PrezD2012!!!
