BrightestYoungThings: PHOTOS: Digital Capital Week Opening @ Blagden Alley

words by Svetlana

If you're not familiar with the Digital Capital Week Juggernaut, you probably have not had internet in the last couple of months because the virtual buzz surrounding it has been, well, out of control. Brainchild of Peter Corbett (of IStrategy Labs and all around experiential internet marketing guru of sorts) it is 10 full days (making it more of a Dital Capital Week and a Half, but we're not here to nitpick) of creative technology events is to strengthen the capital region’s digital economy via a 10 day series of events focused on creativity, technology, entrepreneurship, marketing, content creation, and innovation.

You can get the full (and a little overhwlming) schedule here (including their closing party @ 930 club, the really promising Wonder Emporium event on Friday and (shameless plug here) yours truly District5 panelling this Saturday) but first things first: This past Friday, IStrategy labs partnered up with Pinkline, Shiny Heart Ventures and Palantir to kick the week off in style using the Longview Gallery/Blagden Alley as the backdrop.

2000 or so people showed up and fingerpainted, listened to Matthew Hemerlein, Ryan Holladay, Chris Nitti and an assortment of other quality DC musicians, drank beer and wine and networked their Friday asses off at this ultimate of DC social and media events: where you go to say you went and probably tweet about it in the meantime.

Photos speak more than a thousand words:
