It’s that spe­cial time again! For the sixth year not quite 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 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 doing it at our favour­ite new bar Hanging Ditch.

We sug­gest you might like to use the #WWWWW tag on Twit­ter – Webstock Wednes­day Warmup with Welling­tonista.

What: Drinks with good people
When: From 5.30pm, Wed­nes­day Feb­ru­ary 10
Where: Hanging Ditch, 14 Leeds Street (if you’re look­ing at the Gold­ings bal­coney facing towards Ghuznee Street, it’s up those couple of steps to your left)
Why: Because it’s nice to catch up with friends and meet new ones
Who: You!
