Often with the Welling­ton­ista we tell you things. Today, how­ev­er, we’re ask­ing for things. Specif­i­cal­ly:

1. Swag: Welling­ton is going to be hav­ing its first Girl Geek din­ner, and I’m putting togeth­er Swag Bags — if you have some­thing you’d like to put in around 50 bags for 50 tech­no­log­i­cal­ly-mind­ed and intel­li­gent women, please get in touch — johubris @ gmail.com.

2. Con­tra: Last night lots of us attend­ed a Blog­gers’ Meet-Up, and the awe­some Epic Beer came up with some lubri­ca­tion to get us start­ed. The Welling­ton­ista absolute­ly would be very very keen on doing this sort of thing more often. We’re work­ing on our guide­lines, and tem­plates to allow space for brand expo­sure, but this is just a heads up: if you offer good prod­ucts or ser­vices, and want to reach our smart read­ers who like dis­pos­ing of their incomes, we would like to work with you, so get in touch.
