2013 was a banner year for Drinking About Museums. The concept went viral, and continues to spread across the globe! Don’t believe me? Check out here and here and here. (And there are more…) Closer to home, we have continued to grow, and in September, we experimented with a new format, Museums Showoff, and drew a bumper crop of new folks into the fold. What are we gonna do to top that in 2014?
Plenty.
First, we’re announcing the next two months of events right now. Get your calendars and save the dates!
Drinking About Museums: Boston
Wednesday, January 22 at 6pm
Museums Showoff: Boston
Wednesday, February 19 at 6pm (Speakers start at 7pm)
Both events will be in Harvard Square at the fabulous Hong Kong Restaurant
1238 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138

Second, we’re proposing a theme for the January event: Pop-up Museums. Interested in hearing more about them, dreaming one up, maybe even making our own DAM pop-up museum? Let’s talk… We’ll also talk about showing off in February, and whatever strikes your fancy.
Expect to get the hard sell from Jenn and me if you haven’t already volunteered or spoken at the September Show Off.
*******************************
Third, we’re going to Show Off again!
Our initial Museums Showoff drew a crowd of over 60 to the Hong Kong. Did it inspire you to grab your 9 minutes of glory? If you missed it last time, now is your chance to join in the fun on February 19! Fill out the form below to claim your spot, or just come watch your colleagues. There are only ten slots, so don’t wait too long to decide!

Thinking about Museums 
How did your call for Pop-up Museums ideas go? Any worth noting or planned for 2014? Best site to continue that conversation or follow pop-up museum trends, events, etc?
