After a long day of figuring out how to make more money running your business, come hang out, have drinks, east food and be merry. Motiv, a new upscale club / restaurant has thrown open their doors with open arm. Doors open for us at 5pm. DJ comes on at 9:30pm if you want to party and dance the night away.
MOTIV is the vision of two SC natives committed to operating a more refined establishment. Our interest stems from recognizing a type of venue absent from downtown Santa Cruz: A responsible restaurant/bar/nightclub with a safe, fun and engaging atmosphere for mature adults. We will host art shows, political forums and other social events as well as DJ’s from all over to combine culture with entertainment while maintaining a safe and responsible environment. We firmly believe our conscientious business model will satisfy a need within the community as well as raise the expectations of downtown patrons, encouraging the other businesses in the area to follow suit. 1209 Pacific Ave., Between the Gap and Bad Ass Coffee.

Freelance Camp Las Vegas 2009 is an organized BarCamp for freelancers and independent contractors. We are proud to host this under the bright lights of fabulous Las Vegas, NV. You ask: What is a BarCamp? BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants. The day consists of sessions proposed by attendees and the schedule is created on site the morning of the event. BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn from each other in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.
DONT QUITE GET IT!?

WHAT TO EXPECT AT FREELANCE CAMP:
The day will start at 10am with an hour of socializing over coffee and pastries. It is really important you arrive by 11am so you can participate in creating the day’s agenda.
