Next Thursday, May 15th, Yahoo! Search will host a developer launch party for SearchMonkey, our awesome new open developer platform. The festivities will take place from 5:30 to 8:30pm at Yahoo! Headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.

If you’re a developer and you’d like to learn more about SearchMonkey, meet the folks behind it (including yours truly), see live demos, eat free food, and drink free beer, register for the event at upcoming.org and send an email containing your full name and the name of your company (if any) to searchmonkeyevent@yahoo-inc.com.

Space is limited and the friendly security guards at the front gate won’t let you in if you’re not on the list, so be sure to RSVP soon.
