The Mashable team is hosting our U.S. Summer Tour stop in Seattle tonight with networking, an open bar and awesome prizes. We’re also excited to be joined by Rachel Sklar, who will be interviewing attendees on our Watchitoo live stream.
We encourage you to participate in the live steam and suggest questions for Rachel to ask in her interviews with the local social and tech community. Feel free to also submit the questions in the comments below or on Twitter using #summermash. We want you to help facilitate some of the discussion on Watchitoo by joining us on-camera to help ask attendees questions and answer some social media trivia.
If you’re interested in that, the details are outlined below. You’ll also have a chance to win tickets to attend the events through the contest.
