Public Radio International and Minne* are joining forces to launch the Twin Cities group of Hacks/Hackers.  We are excited to have our fledgling group join the good company of groups spreading from the Bay Area to NYC, to Buenos Aires.

We’ll have a kick-off happy hour at PRI’s new headquarters on Friday, April 22 at 5:30 p.m. and we’ve invited Matt Thompson, formerly of the Star Tribune and now at NPR, to talk about data overload, the twilight of news brands and more.

Please help us spread the word to your networks at http://bit.ly/HHTCkickoff.

Hope to see you on Friday, April 22 at PRI on the top floor at 401 2nd Ave. N, Minneapolis 55401 (a peanut bag’s throw from the Twins stadium.)

Michael Skoler, PRI

Ben Edwards, Minne*
