I went to the one in Seattle. It had a large turnout (~20 people). The event made for a good networking opportunity, but it's also fun to hang out, drink, and talk with people who share similar interests.

It's possible I'm just blind, but is there any way to get email notifications of planned events? I'm not going to remember to check it regularly for updates :p

Great idea, too bad I will miss the first one in SF. How about one in Boston on the first week of may?

A few of my friends here in Portland, ME were planning on doing something like this, but we didn't have a name for it. Now we do!

So you didn't do it...because you...didn't have a name?

What?

-----

3 points by mosburger 874 days ago | link

We just haven't done it yet. :) We were talking about it last week, give us a break!

Hear, hear! Exactly what I'm looking for. Come to Dallas, baby. Rockwall would be even better (can't come all the way out where I am cuz I live in a dry county!).

I imagine there are a bunch of startup types scattered around the Dallas area and this seems like something that might have a really positive impact. I'm near UTD in Richardson personally so anywhere around here is a good choice :)

I was looking for a good way to combine my two favorite hobbies of beer and geeky conversation.

Thanks to everyone that emailed me, setting up subdomains for everyone.

Can I be on the mailing list for a city not yet participating?

If so, add me to TO! edit: It is now added!

Bleh, right before I move to the bay area, people are organizing get togethers all over the place. :(

I used to go to defcon702, but that fell apart. Its always good to go to weekly gatherings related to computers. You get kind of a network effect that you don't get off of message boards and such.

Sounds a lot like OpenCoffee (http://www.opencoffeeclub.org/), these things are fun though :)
