It’s been a somewhat quiet week for technology news in Austin this week, so let me take this opportunity to make you aware of Austin Tech Happy Hour coming up on Thursday, August 2nd. It’s a great place for technology professionals to come and mix, network, and make contacts. Plus there’s nothing like a few free drinks to make you forget about the rain.

This month’s happy hour is sponsored by Porter Novelli, which provides public relations services to some of the top technology companies in Austin, and around the country. It is one of the few technology-focused PR firms to have their professionals located in Austin full time. They are also a major sponsor of DEMO, just in case you’re headed to San Diego in September.

We’ll see you at Third Base on West Sixth Street from 6pm – 8pm.
