I love a good hackathon; how bit.ly-related does our project have to be to fit in?

  They don't have to be bit.ly related at all: http://blog.bit.ly/post/786142591/celebrate-2-years-of-bit-ly-at-our-hack-a-bit-hackathon http://blog.bit.ly/post/786142591/celebrate-2-years-of-bit-l...

Slightly off topic: Is there a good place to view upcoming start up events in NYC?

  Gary's Guide is a good tech events calendar with a lot of startup stuff.

  Lots of tech events in NYC use Meetup (http://meetup.com http://meetup.com) -- it's free to join, search, use/attend, but you pay to organize your own.

  In addition to Gary's Guide, the nextny mailing list often has announcements, and Charlie O'Donnell sends out a weekly e-mail. Sign up for that one is on his blog.

Is it poor form to show up late? I might be able to stop by, but not at 6:30...

  Our doors are open until 11:30, so feel free to drop by anytime before we close up the office.

I'll be there. Is there any sort of schedule or is it just open hacking?

Other url shortening providers are doing fine in the stream, with and without PowerTwitter. The screenshots I sent to Bit.ly show this. I guess Bit.ly would rather defame other services like PowerTwitter. Here are the emails: From: rex@bit.ly on behalf of Support @ Bit.ly (support@bit.ly) Sent: Wed 7/14/10 9:10 PM What does the screenshots prove? Power Twitter has nothing to do with Bit.ly. You may want to contact their support, as you state on 2 of the screenshots - the bit.ly works just fine. In screenshot 2, that is what you state "When link converters like Power Twitter are turned off" - turn them off if they are causing issues, contact their support about the issue you are seeing. As far as the bit.ly goes, you even state they work fine. If somehow this is still misunderstood, please explain why you believe this is a bit.ly issue. As of now, there isn't one, and you even state that. Thank you.

You owe me a sandwich.
