# Since there’s no blimp on Sunday, get your fill of dirigibles with Urban Airship on Saturday

So maybe you missed the first Portland Lunch 2.0 of the year. Maybe you’re really upset because you really, really wanted to see [Urban Airship](http://urbanairship.com "Urban Airship")‘s new space in the former Ziba building. And now, you’re sitting there, sullen.

Well, that Super Bowl party isn’t your only entertainment this weekend. You have another chance to go hang out with the Urban Airship crew, see their new digs, and celebrate with the other tenants in their building with Urban Airship open house.

What does Urban Airship do?

> Urban Airship powers the world’s most successful mobile apps. A pioneer in mobile technology, Urban Airship partners with top brands to make their mobile marketing more engaging, more effective, and most importantly, more profitable. Verizon, Dictionary.com, Tapulous, and Warner Bros. are just a few of the thousands of companies that depend on Urban Airship’s innovative platform to reach and engage target audiences—and increase app revenue streams. Through push notifications, rich messaging, and in-app purchase capabilities, Urban Airship helps mobile apps rapidly scale and achieve meaningful—and measurable—impact.

The open house will be held Saturday, February 5, beginning at 6 PM, at [334 NW 11th Avenue](http://goo.gl/maps/uQyv "Urban Airship offices") (the corner of NW 11th and NW Flanders). Beverages will be provided by [House Spirits Distillery](http://www.housespirits.com/ "House Spirits Distillery") and there will be some snacks, as well.

So if you don’t have anything planned Saturday night, swing by and hang out with the UA crew. I’m sure they would love to see you. Again. Or the first time. Or whatever.

[You can RSVP to the Urban Airship open house via pingg](http://www.pingg.com/rsvp/bzq5w37c5jfynp4wr "Urban Airship open house"). Or you can [follow it on Plancast](http://plancast.com/p/3rm7 "Urban Airship open house").

\[UPDATE: I had to change the original headline, because alack and alas, there is [no Goodyear blimp on Super Bowl Sunday](http://www.bigpondsport.com/six-reasons-why-the-super-bowl-is-not-so-super/tabid/91/newsid/66501/default.aspx) again this year.\]
