A number of years back, Jeffrey Palermo had an idea for people arriving early in town for a Microsoft conference to meet up in a hotel bar the evening before the conference. The idea is to have a beer, catch up with old friends, make new ones, and generally get psyched for the conference to come. From that humble origin, Party with Palermo was born.

If you’re headed to Los Angeles next week for PDC09 and you’re going to be there Monday night, November 16, then head over to http://pdc09.partywithpalermo.com/ and RSVP for this free party. The PDC09 edition will be at The Mayan, 1038 South Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90015, from 7 to 10 PM. I will see you there!
