Oh dear. I remember the First Tuesday events; copious amounts of beer, copious amounts of VC cash, copious amounts of bad business ideas and copious amounts of egos; which soured due as the attendees became less technical and business orientated and more recruitment pimps, lawyers, PR bunnies and the organisers trying to take a slice of every deal.

And it appears it's coming back, an email received which pleads "please don't tell anyone about this email...." and is signed by a new "chief executive" with yet a suitably unusual name; "Christer" (you can't help but giggle really).

 "First Tuesday is back, Are you in?"

Remember us? We certainly remember you.
Please don't tell anyone we sent you this email . . .

Are you in?
. . . as a former highly valued patron we would like to invite you to our secret launching event in London after the summer but first we would like to ask you to please reply a blank email to this address to confirm that you are still interested in hearing from us. If you prefer us to send information to another email address, just write that in your reply.

Win 1 of 7 annual memberships in daily raffle!
Over the next 7 days we will be giving away 1 annual membership per day (worth £440-£740) among those of you that re-register with us. If you are one of the winners, we will send you an email to notify you within 24h of your reply.

Look forward meeting you in person later.

No free beer this time though, it's pay to get in and network your heart out. Lovely stuff, go whisper "2.0", "user driven content", "social networking" and watch the VCs throw their cash at you. Don't forget to have a ponytail though .... I think I'll pitch my "prawnsandwichonline.com" idea, your portal for everything prawn sandwichey.
