Brought to you by FutureRuby and the awesome folks at Unspace, FAILcamp is an open event for folks to share their stories and lessons taken away from failure. It’s also a valid excuse to hit the docks and overrun the swanky QCYC yacht club with hedonic nerdery.

Amy Hoy and Thomas Fuchs, the Philadelphia FailCamp originators, put it like this:

We believe that it’s time to give our personal fail some tough love and talk it out over beer! Join us for a brief, rousing introduction followed by camaraderie, beer, and show-and-tell. We’ll present a little about failure through the ages, mining your personal suck, maybe some science, pithy quotes from people you may or may not respect, and share some failure stories of our own. Then it’ll be your turn. If all goes to plan, you may even win in our friendly “race to the bottom” for the most public, most expensive, or most ridiculous Story of Fail.

Joey DeVilla will be ringleading an evening of commiseration and comraderie at the Queens City Yacht Club on Algonquin Island. Yours truly will be tagging along with Joey and co-hosting/supporting this kick-ass event. It all goes down at 6pm on July 9th, 2009.

Will it be revealing? That’s the goal! Will it be awesome? You bet! Will you be there? We hope so!

Get your free ticket at http://failcampto.eventbrite.com/. Your ticket is good for a free ferry ride to and from the venue, plus food and possibly free drinks (if it can be organized).

We’ll see you there!
