MacRumors and iPhone Alley 'Macworld Finale Bash'

MacRumors · 02:20 PM

As this could very well be the last Macworld event, MacRumors.com is co-hosting a "Macworld Finale Bash" with iPhoneAlley on the evening of the keynote speech -- Tuesday, January 6th, 2009.

The party/meetup will be held at Jillian's restaurant (map) across from Moscone West. Open to all ages, there will be free food and giveaways, but you're responsible for your own alcohol. It will run from 6:00pm to 9:30pm. So, join us for some in-person post-keynote commentary (and iPhone Nano complaining).

The event is kindly sponsored by Delicious-Monster, the Mac developers behind the critically acclaimed Delicious Library cataloging software. Try it out and visit their Macworld booth (#2602).

Facebook users can RSVP on the Facebook event page, though this is not required.

no, you can just show up. But if you have a facebook account to RSVP, it's nice to get a rough count.

Can't hardly wait. =)

Darn, I'd love to go, but I have school

HLdan · Dec 30, 2008, 03:51 AM

I'll definitely be there!!! I've never missed a Macworld show in 8 years. So great to live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

MICHAELSD · Dec 30, 2008, 03:59 AM

I'd go if I wasn't on the east coast...

That's kind of interesting, MacRumors and iPhone Alley teamed up for this.

SFStateStudent · Dec 30, 2008, 04:00 AM

Wouldn't miss it! I think I owe a couple MR Members a drink from last year's meetup (did I forget to closeout my CC?)... LOL

queshy · Dec 30, 2008, 04:06 AM

Too bad im stuck in Canada.

itcheroni · Dec 30, 2008, 04:13 AM

Wow, a party where I won't be the nerdiest guy there! I'm there.

newyorkguy · Dec 30, 2008, 04:27 AM

iPhone Nano and iPhone 3G 32GB plz.

I don´t care about the party;-)

Willis · Dec 30, 2008, 06:12 AM

Owww... So tempted to just get a flight out there now for 3 days. Grr

markm49uk · Dec 30, 2008, 07:16 AM

As the person responsible for a huge amount of publicity for your site Arn (iPhone girl...), do I get a fully expensed trip to San Francisco ?

Only joking - wish I could be there as this sounds great.

Hey, don't rub it in! I dream of living in SF since I first visited in 2000!

bobbleheadbob · Dec 30, 2008, 08:29 AM

I'll be there. Looking forward to attending what could be the Last Mac World Ever (LMWE).

fendol · Dec 30, 2008, 08:35 AM

I can hear the sound of people crying on the background, don't even make a joke out of it

macFanDave · Dec 30, 2008, 08:59 AM

What a provocative title!

So, if this is NOT the last MWE, will next year's be the "2nd Annual MacWorld Finale Bash?" and become a running gag.

It's like the Annual Going-Out-of-Business Sale!

longofest · Dec 30, 2008, 09:28 AM

Nice... we do front-page publicized meetup the year I'm NOT going. Last year's less publicized meetup was fun though, so I encourage folks to attend. Jillians is also a good place with plenty of room, so hopefully it will accommodate everyone who wants to come.

~Shard~ · Dec 30, 2008, 10:01 AM

Great idea, I'm sure everyone will have lots of fun! I won't be in SF myself but my brother will be attending MWSF on behalf of the company he works for (Faronics) so I'll tell him he should stop by and have a couple drinks for me and say "hi" to everyone!

I haven't heard of any rumors indicating that the iPhone Nano was going to have Point Of Sale applications
