[Events] Some feedback from Saturday

[Ned Batchelder]

When it comes time to send the email, let's include a blurb about the 
food underwriter: "Hirelite is on a mission to put headhunters out of 
business by hosting web-based speed interviewing events where you'll 
speak with 20 companies for 5 minutes each over video chat. They have an 
upcoming event for back-end and generalist development jobs around 
Boston/Cambridge at 7pm on Wednesday, 3/9.
