For a closer view Mouse-click the individual posters. Sometimes there are mouseovers, so check...if you're into that sort of thing. If you're interested in movie or Theater times their posters are hyperlinked to their respective schedules.

If your event is not on here I apologize. I do not always see every flyer and sometimes the pictures fuzz up and are illegible.

Code Trip Olympia Expo: Three Hours, Three Speakers

Submitted by NotMyself on Sat, 04/12/2008 - 10:51am.

Come out to the Thurston County Fairgrounds on Monday night and get 3 hours of great information on new and exciting technologies from Microsoft and other sources.

Adam Kinney will present information on Silverlight 2.0. Woody Pewitt will talk about Internet Explorer 8 and the Code Trip Bus Cam. Jason Mauer will take us Under the Hood of the code Trip, explaining the technologies used on the bus and on the website.

Thousands of dollars worth of software will be given away from Infragistics (NetAdvantage for .NET), Telerik (RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, RadControls for WinForms, Telerik Reporting,Sitefinity CMS), Identity Mine (Blendables Essentials Mix) and copies of CodeRush by Devexpress. Along with all of that goodness, there will be some foam Code Trip Buses and Code Trip Laptop sleeves given away. Free stuff and free high quality presentations -- you don't want to miss this.

To answer a question posed by some of you, sorry, no food this time, but grab something on the way out to the fairgrounds and stuff your face while while Jason, Woody and Adam stuff our brains full of new and shiny information.

The Code Trip Olympia, WA April 15th

Submitted by NotMyself on Fri, 03/28/2008 - 9:05am.

I received the following message from my local DNUG, the South Sound .NET Users Group about The Code Camp coming to our area. I plan on attending and hope to see you there.

"Are you ready for the Code Trip to come to Olympia? Jason Mauer is coming back to Olympia with a tour bus full of geeks. They'll be pulling up to the Thurston County Fairgrounds on Monday, April 14th. There will be giveaways, and great information on the newest technology from great presenters.

Have you been tracking the Code Trip? They started in Las Vegas at MIX08 on March 7th and headed north. They've made about 13 stops since then and Olympia will be the last one before arriving at the MVP Summit in Seattle on Tuesday, April 15th. The capacity of our venue is 288, let's see how close we can get to that total, ok?

This will be a benefit for Carlos Arredondo who made national news after hearing that his twenty-year-old son Marine Lance Corporal Alexander Arredondo was killed in Iraq. In his distraughtness after learning of his son’s death, Carlos lit himself on fire, but has since recovered from his wounds and become an anti-war activist and speaker. Carlos is a member of Gold Star Families for Peace along with Cindy Sheehan. An interview with Carlos by Amy Goodman is located here: http://www.democracynow.org/2007/3/13/the_endless_war_memorial_father_of

David Rovics has been called the musical voice of the progressive movement in the US. Amy Goodman has called him “the musical version of Democracy Now! He has shared the stage regularly with leading intellectuals (Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn), activists (Medea Benjamin, Ralph Nader), politicians (Dennis Kucinich, George Galloway), musicians (Billy Bragg, the Indigo Girls), and celebrities (Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon). He has performed at dozens of massive rallies throughout North America and Europe and at thousands of conferences, college campuses and folk clubs throughout the world. Check out www.Davidrovics.com
