[Neurobureau-hubs] Fwd: Place to party with 400+ people

Thu Feb 28 10:11:08 PST 2013

Hi guys,

Daniel brought up a brilliant idea. We should have an open mic for a couple
hours, and spread rumors about exciting live performances by leaders of the
field. If no one shows up and we have a band we can do a karaoke instead. I
am confident we'll get people on stage for that. And if we also do the
prizes for the brain art competition and the hackaton, we're going to have
one hell of an action-packed evening. That's one way we could make the
neurobureau party unique (while keeping it cheap). Let me know what you
think,

Pierre
