A reminder that Portland Open Beer Club is this Thursday, June 12, at Bailey's Taproom downtown. Grab a brew & chat about the web in a laid-back manner.

Portland Open Beer Club (a spinoff of the Open Coffee Club) is meeting this Thursday 5pm at Bailey’s Taproom, 213 SW Broadway, Portland, OR. It’s an informal meetup where entrepreneurs, developers and investors can chat, network and grow. Very laid back, no agenda, stay as little or as long as you want.

Portland Open Beer Club is different from Open Coffee Club in that it's

·         Beer instead of coffee

·         At 5pm instead or 10am

·         usually attended by more people J

Hope to see you there! If you've never met me before, I'm the tall blond guy in the orange jacket.

It's time for web-centric coffee again ... The Portland Open Coffee Club is meeting next Wednesday, 10am, at Pier Coffee (600 NW Naito Parkway, near Glisan & 3rd). Pictures below -- Pier Coffee is a quiet, open coffee house with free wifi and a central location. Stumptown is awesome but I think it's starting to be a bit small & loud for the growing POCC crowd.

What is Portland Open Coffee Club? Well, it's a laid-back, casual gathering for people interested in startups, the web, or technology to talk, network, and meet like-minded people. Read more at http://www.opencoffeeclub.org/

P.S. Mark your calendars for Aril 10th, 5pm, at Baileys for Portland Open Beer Club. POBC is the same as POCC, just in the evening with beer instead of morning coffee.

I wanted to announce that the first meeting of Portand Open Beer Club will be Thursday, tomorrow night, at Bailey's Taproom in downtown Portland at 5pm.

Portland Open Beer Club is the same format as Portland Open Coffee Club. People interested in web, tech, or startups get together for a laid-back, agenda-free gathering, so that entrepreneurs and developers can chat, network, and grow. The main differences with Portland Open Beer Club is that:

1. It's Beer instead of Coffee
2. It at 5pm instead of 10am

Feel free to swing by, have a pint, & say hello! Of course, you don't have to drink anything to attend, and Bailey's has a number of other beverages and small plates available. We'll also probably be having Mexican food delivered there, in case anyone's in the mood for dinner.

Next Open Coffee Club meeting is on January 23rd, downtown stumptown, at 10am. Meet up with other web-savvy folks and have a great cup of joe, too. A win-win!

I've been trying to do more meeting and networking here in Portland, OR, and I also enjoy a good cup of joe. And I need to get more anyhow since I work from home. So when I read some posts about Open Coffee Club, I thought that sounded like a great way to interact, socialize, & meet some of the other web-centric folks in PDX.

"The OpenCoffee Club was started to encourage entrepreneurs, developers and investors to organise real-world informal meetups to chat, network and grow."

Since there wasn't one listed for Portland, I decided to register an Open Coffee Club for Portland. If you're in the area, feel free to swing on by. I'm not yet sure when the best time/place to hold the meetings is, but I figure that can be ironed out.
