Hello MinneUX’ers –

Please join us for our first MinneUX Book Club discussion. We’ll be meeting Wednesday, Feb. 11 between 6-8pm at Wilde Roast in NE Minneapolis, discussing Bill Buxton’s “Sketching User Experiences”, which I thought would be a good kickoff since it was the most popular choice for those who took the recent survey.

When reading the book, please write down your answers to these topics/questions and bring them with you — they will drive our discussion (yes, you can still join us if you haven’t read the book):

• 2 things in the book that really struck a chord
• 1 thing you either hated, disagreed with; or don’t understand
• Have you used or will you use some of the ideas in your practice/job/work?

For additional optional reading, check out these sites:

Here are additional details about the venue and logistics:

• Time: 6:00-8:00 pm
• Date: Wednesday, February 11
• Location: Wilde Roast, 518 Hennepin Ave. E. (Corner of Hennepin and Central Avenues in Northeast Minneapolis). Web: http://www.wilderoastcafe.com/. Phone: 612-331-4544
• Ask the host for the book club (I’ll also put up a “MinneUX Book Club” table tent)

Can’t wait to see you there!
