Tons of Technology Events in Nash Vegas this October

Here is out little town of Nash Vegas we have a great technical community and they seem to have outdone themselves this month. There are so many great events happening I am having to negotiate with my wife to get to go to as many as I can: "I'll go see that chick-flick you've been wanting to see if I can go to BarCamp Nashville."

There is truly something for everyone, so take a look at this list and support our local technology groups by attending some of these events. Also help spread the word by Tweeting, Facebooking, shouting on street corners, body painting, or whatever!
