Support your Local Community - this Thursday!

Posted by James Keller on 16 November 2009 @ 11:06 PT

When the citizens of Small Society heard about 30 Hour Day we knew that this was something that we wanted to come out to support!

For those of you who haven’t heard, 30 Hour Day is an event where Rick Turoczy of the Silicon Florist and Cami Kaos of Strange Love Live are going to livestream for 30 hours straight in an effort to raise money for charities like Free Geek, Oregon Food Bank, and Toys for Tots.  So basically, 30 Hour Day (@30hourday and #30hd for you twitter types) is the warm, fuzzy trifecta of Portland community, charity and fun!

While the actual Livestream itself isn’t happening until December 18 and 19 (including 30 hours of entertainment, interviews, and interesting goings on) - we wanted to start the excitement, get the word out, and kick off the giving season where we knew there would be a collection of generous geeks… so….

We are proud to announce that we will be accepting donations to both Toys for Tots and the Oregon Food Bank THIS THURSDAY at Ignite Portland:

November 19, 2009
IGNITE PORTLAND 7

Bagdad Theater
3702 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd.
Portland, OR 97214

Doors Open at 5:30PM
Show Starts at 7:00PM

General Admission, No Tickets
Admission is always FREE!

We know that even the most organic-home-grown-in-my-garden types must have an errant box of mac and cheese lying about, or perhaps you bought too many cans of refried beans in a regrettable Costo moment.   Or perhaps you can swing by your local Fred Meyers and pick up some crayons and a coloring book?  When you’ve got those non perishable foods and new unwrapped toys together, bring ‘em to the Bagdad, and we will take care of the rest.  Whatever you can contribute, we will be grateful.

We also wanted to give a huge thanks to the Legion of Tech who didn’t hesitate to let us set up a collection area at Ignite.

See you Thursday!
