An event I help put on for Creative Commons is this week, please come out to it if you are in the area:

Hello friends. We just added some great presentations for the CC Salon SF on April 18, 7-9 PM at Shinesf.com (1337 Mission St). Here is the quick run-down:

• Liz Dunn, Technorati, about WTF (Where’s the Fire and CC)
• Seth Mazow, Interplast.org, showing film at the end of the night
• Jay Dedman, SpinXpress.com and Outhink.com, about SpinXpress and CC Video Bumpers
• Brian Mulloy, Dimitry Dimov, and Sara Wood from Swivel.com, about visualizing your data
• Debut of New CC video by Eric Steuer, Creative Commons, Creative Director
• Music by Doublefish, Reconfiguration Records (China)

Take a break from the heavy conference week, have a drink, or plan a meeting. Come and meet others who are interested into CC and are networking to the common call of CC licensing.

Also, if you NOTE to WRITERS and PUBLISHERS, another installment of the CC Publishers Association is going to be at 6 PM at the same venue before the salon.

Please RSVP/track this event at this upcoming.org listing.

As I blogged on the CC blog last week, tomorrow night is the first CC Salon of the new year at Shinesf.com from 7-9 PM. Joi Ito blogged it and I’m going to re-sample my original post:

Please join us for the first CC Salon of 2007 at ShineSF.com on Wednesday, February 21, from 7-9 PM in San Francisco. It will be major! And, yes, please note, we are not doing this event monthly now, but every other month to maximize the impact in SF!

The line-up for the evening:

• John Wilbanks, Executive Director, Science Commons
• Joi Ito, Web Entrepreneur, Chairman of Creative Commons Board
• Heather Ford, Executive Director, iCommons
• Jim Sowers, Calabash Music and National Geographic, Musical Guest, Discussing state of Digital Music and DJ’ing

Details

The event is free and open to the public. Quick presentations begin at 7 PM and go until 9 PM, but if you’d like to have an informal meeting or get a good seat, get there a bit early (We open the doors at 6 PM). So don’t worry if you’re late; there will be stuff happening all night at Shine, 1337 Mission Street between 9th and 10th Streets. Shine has free wi-fi and a super cool Flickr photo booth. Note: Since Shine is a bar, CC Salon is only open to people who are 21 and older.

Also, plug this event into your digital life on our upcoming.org posting.
