We’re rolling tonight with episode 97 of our weekly live podcast with our guests from Social Media Day Detroit and MI Tech News. We’ve got our next event in just over a week at a new venue that we can’t wait to check out coming on the heels of last week’s really great event at Blackfinn. There are some blog entries to read, the usual memes and fun on our Facebook page, updates from our Twitter account, some sad news from one of our favorite venues and more…
As always, we start with information about our next in-person networking event, and we’ll be hitting a brand new venue within an old favorite that we can’t wait to try out.
On Wednesday, July 1st we’ll be hitting The Whisky Parlor, which is on the 2nd floor of Grand Trunk downtown. Can’t wait to check it out, and we’re really looking forward to seeing everyone there. It’s located at 608 Woodward Avenue, again up on the 2nd floor.
5pm start time. No cover charge to get in. No speeches. No agenda. No sales pitches. Just networking with some of the best and brightest folks here in and around the metro Detroit information technology community.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Speaking of venues…sad news out of one of our favorite places, Steve’s Place. Sitting next door to St Andrews, we always wandered there after our Pink Slip Party events came to a close. We also visited nearly every time we were downtown. It’s a place with a vibe and feel that’s so unique. The owners, Steve (most commonly known as “Mister Steve” by everyone) and Sophie, were open, friendly, and we can’t even begin to count how many shots of schnapps we’ve had there over the years. Sadly, news came out that Mister Steve has advanced stage cancer, and has been moved to hospice care. We cannot help but wish him peace during this time, and we also know a ton of people carrying him in their thoughts at the moment. Having a city-wide fan club raising drinks in your honor and name isn’t a bad thing…we should all be so lucky. All the best to you Mister Steve, and our thoughts are with Sophie as well during this difficult time.
I’m sure we’ll be talking about that event, as well as last week’s great get together at Blackfinn during tonight’s live podcast as well.
For episode 97 of our weekly podcast, we’re joined by our friends from Social Media Day Detroit – an event taking place this Friday at Motor City Casino – and MI Tech News, our content partner from a technology news and information perspective that powers the “News” tab here on our site as well as the “Breaking News” section in our right rail.
All of the usual ways to listen live apply, but we’ve added another one to make it even easier for you – we have our own app now. Our app can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yesstreaming.itinthed

Don’t Be That Guy: The Fallen Angel is a really good (and kind of important) read over at https://itinthed.com/3061/the-fallen-angel/. It’s a good insight into our heads – why we operate like we do, how we think, and why we always keep a level head about things no matter what’s going on around us.
We’ve also got Don’t Be That Guy: Mister Microphone out for you at https://itinthed.com/1930/dont-be-that-guy-mister-microphone/, and please, for the sake of everyone around you, read this and make sure you’re never, ever this guy.
