Wall Street melts, Seattle entrepreneurs party on the lake
Posted by Brier Dudley
The timing could be better for "Seattle's Largest Entrepreneur Bash," what with the economy in a tailspin.
But the "Company Picnic" still sounds like a fun.
Organizer Crave Company describes the event as "the ultimate meeting of innovative minds, celebrating the imagination, creativity, and tenacity that unite all entrepreneurs."
It's aimed at everyone "from back-of-the-napkin brainstormers to persevering business owners and founders of big ideas gone public" - and open to anyone willing to pay the $39 cover charge.
Activities include a salmon barbecue, schmoozing at the "Connection Cafe" and a dunk tank. The event's organized by Crave Company and will benefit the Crooked Trails nonprofit.
