LA StartupDigest – September 12, 2011

13/09/2011

Below is an archived version of the LA StartupDigest Events List – a weekly curated listing of the best tech startup events in LA. If you would like to get next week’s digest on Monday, sign up here.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————-

My beloved Beachers, it’s your favorite son and newly-minted StartupDigest curator Matthias Galica droppin’ fresh flava in your ear. I’m honored to announce that after his storied tenure Matt Sandler has handed the coveted curatorial reigns to me. Let’s thank him for his efforts by pimping out his rockin’ startup, ChromatikMusic.

And curate I shall. Since I share the Susterian disdain for “conference ho-ing” I intend to inject my dispassionate rigor for why you ought to go to any given event. I’ve accepted this responsibility because candidly, my dear Silicon Beach, Silicon Valley still thinks we’re chumps. Wear this chip on your shoulder. Then see 90 percent of LA’s parties as a waste of your time, because on any given Sunday we wake up, watch this video, and get back to work.

As always, I’d love to hear your feedback. Feel free to ping me at @galica or mgalica@thestartupdigest.com.
