Drinks on Flickr this Friday
The Flickr team is in Toronto this week and will be buying drinks and snacks for anyone who shows up this Friday at C'est What between 6 and 8pm.
I emailed with National Flickr product manager Katheline Jean-Pierre who suggested the meetup was simply an informal get-together where she and a bunch of Flickr/Yahoo! folks hope to meet up with some Toronto Flickr fans. She also hinted that they might be giving out some new, free Flickr t-shirts to those who stop by.
Better get there early.

Give them a George Orwell Award.
Thanks for clarifying that. I agree, there is a difference between putting it here and putting it in The Star; at least here there's a good chance people reading this might have a clue what Flickr is (i.e. a photo sharing website).
When I saw the headline I had a vision of the event changing from a bunch of photographers/artists getting together into a bunch of louts looking for free booze and wondering how come there were so many people with cameras standing around.

The complimentary snacks and drinks are not the core of the event, at all. We only reserved a small section of C'est What not the whole venue. There will be a list of people who RSVP-ed on upcoming. We will be checking attendees IDs. This Flickr meetup is intended for Flickr Users and lovers only.
Hope to see the Flickreenos there,
Thanks for your feedback and comments.
