So where will the next coffee be?

Where: Starbucks County Hall near the London Eye [map]

I’ve been a bit busy lately and didn’t find the time to organize a GGC 2 weeks ago. To make up for that though we’ll have two in the next two weeks! This first one may be a bit short notice, but it will take place in two days time on Thursday. The next one will be the Thursday after that (May 29th), but an official announcement for that will follow.

I’ve decided to change one aspect of the GGC’s: they won’t be “Girls Only” anymore. Instead I want it to follow the same rules of the Girl Geek Dinners: guys are allowed, if accompanied by a girl geek.

So, here are the details for the next coffee:

When: Thursday, May 22nd, 2008, 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Where: Costa in Shaftesbury Avenue
Cost: attending is free, cost for coffee/food will be on a “buy your own” basis
Upcoming: [link]

We’ll be sitting downstairs in the basement. If you have trouble finding the place or are running late, you can phone me (07521 294 391) or Twitter me directly (mseckington).

After a great GGC yesterday, I’m glad to announce that the next one will be the 24th of April. The venue from last time (Smiths of Smithfield) was sadly not suitable for us; it’s too much of a pub/restaurant than an actual coffee place. Thanks to LJ though, I’ve discovered a perfect little gem for our next coffee: Ray’s Jazz Cafe in the Foyles at Charing Cross.

The last event was a bit rushed and I realized I haven’t even explained the reason behind Girl Geek Coffees. The idea is to have a more regular meetup besides the Dinners where girl geeks can come and socialize (sorry guys, it’s girls only). I was thinking of maybe holding the next one in the weekend, giving more people the chance to come along. Further, if the coffees turns out to be popular, it could always turn into a weekly event. What do you all think? Please leave comments behind and tell me how we can make this great!
So, here are the details for the next coffee:

When: Thursday, April 24, 2008, 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Where: Ray’s Jazz Cafe in Foyles (Charing Cross)
Cost: attending is free, cost for coffee/food will be on a “buy your own” basis
Upcoming: 470563

The cafe is located on the first floor of the Foyles and we’ll be sitting right in the back. It might be a bit small, but the coffee is great and the place even has wifi. If you have trouble finding the place or are running late, you can phone me (07521 294 391) or Twitter me directly (mseckington).

It’s a bit last minute, but the next Girl Geek Coffee will go on next Thursday. We’re going to try out a new venue and I’m hoping it’s suitable. It’s the Smiths of Smithfield near Farringdon tube (also a potential Geek Dinner venue). I haven’t tried it out yet (so fingers crossed), but I’ve heard a lot of positive things about it.

When: Thursday, April 10, 2008, 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Where: Smiths of Smithfield near Farringdon
Cost: attending is free, cost for coffee/food will be on a “buy your own” basis
Upcoming: 465894

Introducing: London Girl Geek Coffees

We at the London Geek Dinners love to attend other geeky events like Pub Standards, MiniBar, Girl Geek Dinners, and many more. We have always seen quite a bit of overlap between the Girl Geek Dinners and the Geek Dinner attendees, so I am happy to announce a new initiative organized by Emma Persky, Melinda Seckington and a few others: Girl Geek Coffee.

The idea is a simple 2-weekly meetup for geek girls in London. The first event was yesterday and was reviewed on Britwag and MissGeeky. The next event is on the April 10th and further details will be announced at Britwag and MissGeeky.
