Friday is the next Birmingham Jelly...
"Jelly's a casual work event where everyone's invited. It's for anyone who'd like to work alongside other creative people in a welcome environment.
Some Jellies are in people's homes (that's how it started) others are in coffee shops and businesses. You bring your laptop and some work, and Jelly provides wifi, a chair, and smart people to bounce ideas off of and collaborate with."

It's a neat experience! If you're interested, add your name and contact info to that page, and since it's late notice you might want to drop Todd Sundsted a note and let him know you're coming. His email is on that page.
