We've got another bangup lineup...

Everybody grabs some food (you have to pay for your own, sorry), grabs a seat, and talks tech. There's no particular focus other than meeting some new people hand having some interesting conversations.

Fellow web entrepreneurs and VCs gather once a week in Boston to grab some coffee, free WiFi, and chat about what's new.

Around the world, tech entrepreneurs and investors are meeting regularly to drink coffee, network and hopefully do deals. No more of the old-school "please send us your executive summary before we'll even talk...

The food and ambiance is typical 70s, when chop suey and fortune cookies was as close as one could get to authentic Chinese food when eating out.

The cocktail lounge has that old asian exotica kitsch feel to it. Classic zombies and mai tais, with average quality alcohol, served in cool tiki mugs!...
