Forum OpenACS Q&A: Seattle OpenACS Social on Thursday, Mar 27 at 5:30

Hi Northwest OACS geeks,

Carl Coryell Martin will be hosting an OpenACS social in Seattle this coming Thursday at the Elysian Brewing Company starting at 5:30. I'll be up there, as will the Seattle contingent I imagine.

That is, calling Tom Jackson, Joel Aufrecht and all you other grundge rockers.

Here are the Elysian details:

Elysian Brewing Company
1221 E Pike St
Seattle W A 98122
(206) 860-1920l (their mistake on the phone number, not mine. trial and error will you get the the answer i guess...)

Topics will be:

• What beer do we want?
• How do we properly celebrate Joel's documentation efforts? By drinking beer, perhaps?
• More beer, anyone?
• Who drank all the beer?
• What's better, beer or beer?
• And others...

See everyone soon!

I'm going to try to show up.  Should be fun to put some names with faces.  (Well, I have a face for Talli, but it's him at 16!)

See you there!

Count me in.

Dang, wish I could get up there. Seattle is the best pub city I've ever lived. The Blue Star in Wallingford, the Magnolia Pub in Magnolia (best burgers on the planet -- the "Killer Burger" is worth dying for), Hales Brewpub down in Ballard. Ah well, please post the menu, er the minutes, from the meeting, Talli!

Ahem ...

Portland, not Seattle, is the birthplace of the modern microbrew movement.  History, people, history!  The overturning of state laws preventing breweries from selling their product retail in pubs was first overturned right here in Oregon (forbidding such operations was part of the post-Prohibition conditions on the legalization of alcohol passed due to lobbying of the larger brewing companies that were still around, most notably Busch ala Budricer)

or as in:

Talli may not be the first person to post to the openacs forums completely drunk, but he ... now, where was i going with this?

As to which Pacific NW city has the best beer: I bought a friend a bud-lite for $6 here in NYC tonight, so i beg you to all count your blessings.
