Beer and Blog

Today is iPhone Friday and most people will be enamored with their new shiny phones or making statements about how they don’t want a stupid iPhone anyway *ahem* @harrisja. Since we don’t plan to steal the iPhone’s thunder, we’re going to do today what Beer and Blog started out doing—bloggers helping bloggers over beers!

Here’s the first post for Beer and Blog stating its charter:

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 [Green Dragon]. 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.

And, that’s exactly what we’ll today at 4pm at the Green Dragon. I plan to end promptly at 6pm because most people will be going to the iPhone 3G & App Store Launch Party hosted at Platial, which goes from 6-9pm.

I posted this event on Upcoming.
