Aside from the subsidised drinks, we also recommend you order the Volcano Bowl and share it with a friend.

It’s that spe­cial time again! For the fifth year in a row, we’d like to invite you to come and have a drink with us before the Web­stock con­fer­ence.

You know the deal with this by now – it’s not an offi­cial Web­stock event but they like us, and it IS an offi­cial Wel­ling­tonista event. This year we have a friend along too, so please wel­come your co-hosts, New Zeal­and’s #1 web host­ing and domain name pro­vider Web Drive.

This is an excel­lent time to catch up with the people you only see once a year or so, talk tech, flirt, find new friends to sit with dur­ing the con­fer­ence, put faces to Twit­ter handles and just gen­er­ally have a good time. Even if you’re not going to Web­stock, you’re very wel­come, but be warned, you may feel very jeal­ous.

This year, we’ll be at Bettys [sic] Func­tion House on Blair Street. In fur­ther excit­ing news, thanks to the good people at Web Drive, there will be sub­sid­ised drinks (until the bar tab runs out) hur­rah! And the whole bar will be giv­en over to Web­stock attendees/friends of, so you’ll have some­thing in com­mon with every­one in the room. It will be grand. Please do come along.

Oh! And if you’re not com­ing to Web­stock but you’d like to, you should know that Web­drive is run­ning a compet­i­tion for an all-expenses paid tick­et and flights and accom­mod­a­tion to Web­stock so you will be fully taken care of. You def­in­itely want to enter/encourage your friends to enter that one.

A note on access­ib­il­ity: wheel­chair access to Bettys is avail­able through Hum­ming­bird Eat­ery & Bar. Est 2000 around the corner. We recog­nise that’s not ideal.

We’ve made a Face­book event if you’re into that sort of thing, and sug­gest you might like to use the #WWWWW tag on Twit­ter – Webstock Wednes­day Warmup with Welling­tonista & Webdrive.

When: From 5.30pm, Wed­nes­day Feb­ru­ary 12
