  I was excited and honored when Justin passed the Beer and Blog stein to me a few months ago.  Becoming the Portland Chapter host was a good fit for me, but unfortunately time got in the way.  Before I decided to move forward as the new chapter host I did not realize all of the

  We’re moving the time for Beer and Blog Omaha a half hour later, starting with this Thursday’s gathering (July 1). It will run from 4:30 – 6:30pm. This will make it easier for folks who work later or have a longer commute to join us. It will still be at Brazen Head

  Welcome to the area! I’m also a recent Portland transplant. I moved to Omaha in March. Come join us at Beer and Blog Omaha when you can.

  The Beer and Blog Omaha last Thursday was a more intimate gathering than previous events. We topped out at nine attendees. I heard later from a few people who wanted to attend but something came up. That’s why we meet every two weeks. There’s enough time between each that you’ll look forward to the next

  Join us on Friday June 25th from 4-6pm-ish to soak up sun and suds at the Green Dragon in their cool beer garden.  Like any good Luau we will have a roasted pig courtesy of the Green Dragon (sorry vegans).  Don’t forget to wear your Hawaiian shirt to be entered into a raffle to win

  Well friends, I had the good fortune of running into Richard MacManus, who is the founder of ReadWriteWeb, at Lunch 2.0. He mentioned that he would be attending this Friday, which I asked if I could share on Twitter. To which he said yes.

  But!

  Then I got an email from the famed Co-Editor of RWW

  It’s that time again! Beer and Blog Omaha is this Thursday, June 17 from 4-6pm (ish) at Brazen Head Irish Pub. If the weather is nice, we could be out on the back patio. The topic will be: things that annoy me about blogs and how to eliminate or improve on those things. Feel free

  It’s funny how germs can interfere with the best laid plans. I was wretchedly sick at the first Beer and Blog Omaha and completely missed the second Beer and Blog Omaha because I got worse. After 4 weeks of illness, I’m finally on the mend and looking forward to the third Beer and Blog

  Any self-respecting Portland tech geek knows that the CTO of Seesmic is coming to visit this weekend, thanks to Rick Turoczy and his Silicon Florist post helpfully listing things he should while in town. Things that are uniquely Portland-esque. Like Beer and Blog!

  And if you’re active on twitter, you know about Seesmic. I’m a proud

  Rally wrote a great piece on the state of B&B Vegas, so I won’t rehash it. Simply put, Thursdays are busy days and quite often overlap with other tweetups and LVIMA (like this Thursday). We want to see the group grow and thrive again, and need your help to keep it going. Please take this survey

  A few weeks ago Justin passed the Beer and Blog Stein to me.  This means I am now your new chapter host.  I already know most of you and look forward to meeting new people and learning about their cool tech projects.  Since I have some big shoes to fill I need your help.  I

  Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special treat for everyone this week. Involver is coming to town!

  Time to address something that’s occurred the past two weeks:

  Please take responsibility for what you order.

  Sometimes the server brings us a single check for the entire group because they have to. Like at the Hofbräuhaus. Like at the Gordon Biersch Maibock tapping. The servers at places like this sometimes cannot split our checks (hey, it happens).

  For any of you diehard followers (not sure if we have any) in 2009 we started with good intentions, and ended with, well a lot of unanswered questions. So in 2010 we have scaled back to once a month in an effort to be stable (not that any of us are). We found that with

  We had several small bubbles of conversation going on simultaneously until near the end of our meetup this week. I know I missed a lot of discussion, but following is a summary of what I was privy to.
