What: WATBlog Wednesday Pune – a “mixer” for Pune techies to enjoy each others’ company amidst free beer and snacks
When: Wednesday, 21^st Jan, 7pm onwards
Where: Gaia Lounge, Garden of Eden, Sector 20 A, Near Kharadi Mundhwa Bridge, Kharadi, Chandan Nagar
Registration and Fees: This event is free for all, but entries are limited, so you must register here.

Why you should attend

We’ve had far too many tech events in Pune where all stand around seriously and exchange business cards. Meeting in a more informal, more social atmosphere would be good for the community. So be there. And use twitter for carpooling.

Note: Those who are afraid of landing up at an event full of “boozers”, have no worries. This is not going to be like your college buddies’ drinking party where everybody gets pissed drunk and throws up on the couch. The free beer is there only to attract the crowd (and believe me it works, even on people with multiple successful startups behind them and millions in the bank), but drinking will be moderate, people will be polite, and there will be no fistfights. (At least amongst the Pune crowd; don’t know about the rowdies coming down from Mumbai…)

Anyway, more details and pretty pictures at the WATBlog article.

And now I am off to go collect my gift from WATBlog for hyping up their event like this…

Also, if you want other (non-beer) occassions to meet other Pune techies and entrepreneurs in a social settings, and maybe even shoot them, check out the Pune OpenCoffee Club‘s Inter-StartUp Paintball tournament this Sunday. This would be your chance to punish Santosh for having shutdown BookEazy.
