Brussels Girl Geek Dinner

Dear Girl Geeks,

Here’s some practical information for #BBGD41 this Wednesday in Ghent.

Can’t make it? Please remove your name from the twikilist to give the reserves a chance to get in.

Important for us is the quality of the clothes. We are holding a quality
check according to the following requirements:

Your clothes are:

• washed,
• not damaged,
• timeless and trendy,
• not too basic items such as tops / cotton sweaters from H&M

The most common size is between 36-42.

Course of the evening:

• 19h: registration, quality check of the clothes
• between 19h – 20h: shop at the mini-store, grab a snack and drinks,
  opinion gathering and socializing.
• 20h: start Swishing: search, fit and choose
• after the Swishing you can win prizes and get your goodie bag.

Just one day after announcing the 41th edition of Brussels Girl Geek Dinners, the venue capacity was unexpectedly reduced from 100 to 50 people. I’ve adapted the Twiki List to register no more than 50 attendees. But as you know, by the time the event draws closer, we usually manage to get the reserves in.
Sorry about this. We could impossibly squeeze 100 fashion loving girl geeks and half of their wardrobe into a room that only holds 50.

Interesting, but what is Swishing?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swishing

Swishing refers to swapping an item or items of clothing or shoes or an accessory with friends or acquaintances. Parties must willingly give an item to participate in the transaction, once they have given an item they are free to choose something of interest from what others have offered.

Swishing.be organizes clothing exchange events across Belgium. This time only for the Girl Geeks (and free entry for the Girl Geeks who register through the Twiki List).

What’s there to do next the Swishing itself?

Make-up artists, stylists, hairdressers are all at your disposal

• A mini market place with lots of nice stuff
• Food & Beverages
• Goodie bag
• And a free participation at the competition stage

Practical

What to bring? Max 5 washed garments (clothing, shoes, accessories) in good condition.

Course of the evening:

• 19h-20h: Handing over of your swishable clothing
• 20:30start swishing

In between: shopping and being pampered!

Just a quick note/reminder that this Friday night I’m doing my How I Wrote A Book In One Week keynote. There might be a strike this Friday, but this will probably not affect the train traffic to and from Brussels (since the people who want to go to Brussels to the manifestations will do so by train).
In short:

#BGGD40 Creativity vs Technology
Speaker: Clo Willaerts “How I wrote a book in one week”
Fri 4 March 17:30-19:45 (City2 premises close at 20:00)
80 guests (male & female – but only the girls get a free review copy of the book)
Fnac – City 2
123, Rue Neuve, 1000 Brussel

Can’t make it after all? Then remove your name from the Twiki List to give the reserves a chance.
