It is $3 per car on a Wednesday.     More about ATLBASHH: Atlanta Big A** Social Happy Hour is a laid back mixer where you can meet fellow ATLians. No one is selling you anything, no one is on the mic spreading the virtues of tweeting, and there are no games to get you talking (the atmostphere naturally enoucrages people to talk to strangers).    Organizers: Through constant email, Facebook and Twitter communication, along with occasional in-person base-touching, these three people are working to bring a different sort of social experience to Atlanta: A new ATLian from Austin, Texas, Anna Gonzalez is hoping to bring some of the collaborative Austin spirit to Atlanta. Bringing people together and making connections is easier with technology, so it could be the hippie in Anna, aka WebAnna, that draws her attention to social media. A native Texan, her interests in new media have earned her a spot as a speaker at multiple conferences. Her work in print, television and online media, along with her experiments in helping television stations reach audiences online, have brought her to Atlanta to work at a world-wide news organization. She and her husband blog about art, life and digital adventures on the Everzalez blog (a combo of their last names).   A fourth-generation Atlantan, Jared is also a consummate brand geek with a passion for consumer insights and engagement strategies.  A podcaster and blogger since 2005, Jared has been deep into the social media scene including bringing the spirit of collaboration of #GeekBreakfast to Washington, DC and Atlanta. Currently, Jared is the Manager of Social and Digital Media at Brandware Public Relations, a full-service boutique agency specializing in media relations and communications for enthusiast brands, products and services based right here in Atlanta, Georgia. Jared has an MBA in Marketing and Strategy with a focus in Social/Digital Media from Vanderbilt University’s Owen Graduate School of Management and a BBA in Marketing & Hospitality Management from The George Washington University.
