There is a good article over at Read/WriteWeb about the OpenCoffee "movement." I'm not sure it is a movement, since we aren't exactly hatching plans to form our own tax-free unity government or anything, but membership does have its benefits.
On top of the excellent coffee, good VC and entrepreneur company, and an excuse to show up to work an hour late on Thursday's - Joost is now extending 1,000 invitations to OpenCoffee members internationally. Let me know if you're interested this Thursday. I imagine that will make for a pretty big turnout this week.
Also, if you happen to be in Amsterdam, it'll be the first International OCC event. The ubiquitous Scott Rafer will be there, along with Jason Calacanis.
As always, these events are open to all comers, from senior CEOs we know well, to still hatching entrepreneurs we've never met. Just bring a demo if you can. The most fun has been when groups gathered around a laptop to give feedback on startups like stealth-mode Thingy, a preview of the relaunch of Going.com, and demos of Where.com.
One comment: Jason Calacanis wont be there. He canceled because of scheduling conflicts. We just updated the site and have Jeff Clavier to take his place.

Good stuff Nabeel. How is it possible that we don't have one of these in San Francisco? Anyone interested in starting one?
