Are you in the Bay Area? Well, come on down to Tech Shop to meet Etsy staff and our co-hosts, the SF Etsy Team. Chat about Etsy, swap tips, and meet some folks within your community. Come share your stories with us!
Make sure to bring your business cards and be ready to work on a fun Valentine’s project or explore Tech Shop and get a laser cutting demo.
This meetup is open to all San Francisco-area Etsians and anyone interested in Etsy. Stay connected by following the #EtsyMeet hashtag for tweets from the event.
Who: Etsy staff (Kimm and Leland), our co-hosts SF Etsy and you!
What: San Francisco Meet-n-Greet with Etsy staff
Where: Tech Shop, 926 Howard Street, just 1 block from the Moscone Center, 3 blocks from the Powell Street BART station, and 6 blocks from Union Square.
When: Saturday, February 11, 2012 from 5 to 7 p.m.

TechShop is a membership-based workshop that provides members with access to tools and equipment, instruction, and a community of creative and supportive people so they can build the things they have always wanted to make.
Also, please join us at another event on February 11, before the meet-n-greet.
Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 3 p.m. at San Francisco’s Apple Store.
Etsy, Local Artists, and Technology
Join Etsy staff as they showcase local Etsy artists. Learn how each business uses technology in their work and how they’ve grown their online presence. Explore the creative process with the artists and hear about their struggles and achievements. Then stay for a Q&A session following the discussion.
No RSVP is required for the Apple store talk.
We hope to see you at one of these fantastic events!

I was planning on making it until Lori (see above comments) reminded me of the Chinese New Year Parade. Yeah, I love excitement and chaos to an extent. They expect about ONE MILLION people to be in the city for the parade. And the parade route starts in and around the Powell Street Bart Station or right near the Apple store. And I would feel silly being in the Tech Shop during the Parade. Hope to see you all again soon. Perhaps in May??
