5 pickup lines we probably won’t hear at Techweek … but wish we would

Techweek Kansas City kicks off today, meaning some of the national and regional leaders in tech innovation and entrepreneurship will converge at Union Station to exchange ideas about the future of our fair city and the world beyond. Let’s hope flying cars are involved.
This week is studded with industry stars – hello, drone experts – and entrepreneurs listening in on success stories and competing for funding – see LaunchKC.
In honor of Tinder’s co-founder, Jonathan Badeen, leading a “Fireside Chat” session on Thursday, we’ve created five pickup lines for the Leawood, KS native. We hope he swipes right.

Have your own pickup line? Send it to us by comment, tweet or drone and we’ll re-post it. Keep it clean, tech lovers.
