Grassroots media social gathering

Three weeks from today, we'll be holding a citizens media social gathering at CNET headquarters in San Francisco's SOMA. Here are the details:

When: Friday the 13th (we're not superstitious, are we?), 6-9 pm

Where: CNET, 235 Second St., between Howard and Folsom

What: a dual event ...

- book release party for my book "Darknet: Hollywood's War Against the Digital Generation" (Wiley & Sons), which will be out by then.

- a citizens media social gathering, with members of various citizens media groups getting together for the first time. Some members are flying in from acround the country and Canada for the weekend, which includes an invitation-only retreat on Saturday.

The retreat is already overbooked, so if you'd like to meet some of the individuals involved in these efforts, come on down on Friday the 13th.

We'll have appetizers and wine. We're currently looking for a DJ to provide a couple of hours of mashups and remix music, so let me know if you know of anyone.

Send me an email if you plan to attend. We don't want to throw the doors wide to hundreds of people, but we do want to be as inclusive as possible.

Regular readers of this blog -- and anyone interested in grassroots media and the personal media revolution -- are most welcome. Hope to see you there!
