Join fellow Portland bloggers helping other bloggers over beers

Are you tired of feeling frustrated about the design or functionality of your blog? Do you have questions but have no one to turn to? Do you have a blog, live in or around Portland, and enjoy drinking beer? Well then, this meet up is for you!

Come join fellow Portland bloggers for a work session every Friday from 4pm until at least 6pm at the Lucky Lab. We help each other work on our blogs. Maybe you need some design help. Maybe you want to power your comments form with OpenID, but don’t know how. Maybe you just need the social space to get off your duff and do the shit you tell everyone you’re going to do. Whatever your story, we’ll be then and there enjoying delicious beers and pounding keys. We’ll be the ones with the extension cord and power strip huddled around a grip of mostly Mac laptops.

    I’ll be there! But I’ll probably be a bit late - I think we have a big Jive meeting from 4-5 today, so I’ll be over shortly after 5.

    Heard about this over at VanPortlander — although I can’t make it tonight, and I don’t have a laptop like the cool kids, I do intend to make it in the future, just to shake some hands and meet some folks. Great idea, I hope it totally takes off.

    Dawn, perhaps we can look into the subversion deal?

    Bp, I’ll be there every Friday. Hope to see you soon.

    Hi Justin,

    I also saw this over at VanPortlander, and thought it a great idea (although I don’t know when I might be able to go, myself).

    Just a quick suggestion. If the idea takes off, you might want to consider registering at MeetUp.com.

    Cheers,
    E.

    Hey Justin, I’d love to be there, but Friday nights are family nights. Wow, what a switch from a couple of decades ago.

    Have a good time everyone!

    Great idea! Can’t make it today, but will for sure catch some sessions by sneaking out of the office at 4pm.

    I’d love to come to this! Sadly, I’ll always be a maybe since Ihave to find childcare for the little ones at that hour. If you ever consider a weekend event I’ll be there for sure.

    I’ve had people request a weekend meet up. I wasn’t sure if more people would come on a weekend or the weekday. Maybe I’ll do something like the last week of every month we do a Saturday or Sunday.
