Heath Ledger dies. World economy stumbles. Auspices are good for TechLudd

Born of Fire
When Techludd was first mooted, some hotly demanded it stop before it starts. And protested that the scene is already well enough served. That another event would simply dilute the value of existing events.
All tough statements. Difficult to qualify. That is, unless you have some special way to predict the future.
Nature will find a way
Others countered that the mark of a vibrant scene is to see lots of events launched and lots of events failing, and letting the market pick and choose.
If they need it, they will come
With that, the planning for the event went ahead. A sort of “if they need it they will come” attitude. But it was more than that. It was extended to be more embracing. If they need it. They will tell us what they need. When they come.
When and where
So that’s it. Techludd is on tomorrow night from 7 PM at The Odessa Club • 13 Dame Court • Dublin 2 • 01-6703080. Open to all. If you are coming have a look at who else will be there (78 signups at last count).
Predicting success
Wondering if it will be a success? Enjoying the anticipation? Well, I couldn’t wait myself so I thought I’d join in on the prediction game. Now I can’t disclose whether I got my information from animal sacrifice or from reading the RSS feeds but I can say it is usual for the birth of something great to be preceded by some world-shaking events. Take a look around you and see what’s happening. Now judge for yourself.
All things considered. You are bound to conclude. If you are not there tomorrow. With the other 78 people. You’ll have missed one hell of an event.
