Is it a return of a pre-burst tech bubble stalwart or the final true sign of a new tech apocalypse? The possible harbinger of doom in this case is the newly launched Tech Hub Foosball League.
According to their own PR, the league is a “multi-team collaboration, bringing together Boston’s best techies, strategists and innovators for the opportunity to prove their foosball mastery…” The league will begin to hold weekly tournaments this month, which founders say will feature prizes such as consulting workshops with “the biggest names in innovation.”
Responsible for this blast from the tech past is Chase Garbarino of Boston startup Pinyadda and BostInnovation, and Bonnie Shaw of Somerville’s EchoDitto. Each team will host the foosball games in their offices and will provide refreshments for the real value in this proposition — the pre- and post-game networking.
According to the league’s Facebook page, Game 1 in the tournament is already planned for March 11 at Pinyadda in Boston. While most of the rest of the games in the six-game season have yet to be sited, the finale will be held at Microsoft’s NERD Center in Cambridge on April 22, according to the Facebook page.
