[Update: Okay, so maybe it's really not.]

We’re all about sharing, we’re all about interacting, and we’re certainly all about partying, so it is no surprise they contacted us to help secure a location. ;-) (Thanks to Kevin Boer for pointing them our way.)

Now we’re asking for a little help from our readers. Do you know of a location (hipper the better) that once housed an aspiring dot com, or business, that has recently failed? If so, either share in the comments below, or contact us, and let’s see if we can’t help put this party together.

Details:
-Tuesday March 3rd, Location TBD
-LaidOffCamp Website (Wiki)
-TechCrunch Article on LaidOffCamp
-Preferred Beverage
