Event highlights for the week of July 20 – July 26, 2009

Philadelphia, you’re a city of routine, and we like that about you.

Even when the sun is shining and thoughts are drifting toward lounging at the Jersey shore, you aren’t afraid to grab a few drinks and stick to your meetup schedule.

Every event on our calendar this week is part of a monthly series, and most involve beer.

On Tuesday, grab a brew with Philly.rb at their pub night. We hear that they specifically hit on people using Ruby puns. And by “hear” we mean “hope.” The next day, IdeaBlob hosts BlobLive, its monthly open mic for entrepreneurs. Step on up and give an elevator pitch to complete strangers.

To close out the week, Philly Mapping and GIS host “Mappy Hour.” Talk cartography and get in on the group’s open source map project at a local watering hole.

All events listed on the event calendar are free to attend. Be sure to check our complete calendar for more information, or follow us past the jump.

Events highlights for the week of April 13 – April 19, 2009

Our event calendar is a little thin this week, quite possibly because the community is gearing up for Entrepreneur Week and the Ignite/Mashable Party weekend that is sure to send the city into fits of nerdgasm.

This week, however, has the Young Professionals getting “unplugged” with everybody’s favorite mayor, and one half of the duo who invented Nutter Butter cookies.

While geography enthusiasts can get their map on, and Code Camp gets computer programmers of all stripes together in a free kinda-sorta-unconference.
