Event type: 
User group meeting

Brewpal in the LBC = Long Beach, Micro Brew, Drupal, free wifi

A few of us local to the LBC are going to meetup at Belmont Brewing Company. The Belmont Brewing Company opened in 1990 and is Southern California's oldest operating brewpub. They have a good menu typical of a brewpub, as well as a full bar with guest beer & wine. Please come prepared to pay for what you order and with an appetite to eat, drink, and share Drupal.

Directions: http://j.mp/9XFh9i (note: yahoo! #netneutrality #donoevil? )
Venue: http://j.mp/9OmTyM - please note seating is first come, first serve. I suspect monday (pre-football) should be relatively slow & I'll tweet once I get there re: avail space. Happy hour ends at 6:30pm, so come early to order a cheaper round and maybe some appetizers.

What to bring: your fun self. curiosity or something to share. maybe a favorite Drupal book &/or your laptop.
Raffle Prizes: really, beer & Drupal ain't enough? how about, if you teach me something that I can use by Tuesday, maybe I'll buy you a round :-P

Agenda

open to suggestions. the intention is to network and share ideas with a smaller group. I'm open to anyone sharing on topics of Drupal & web development in general. I can discuss

  • HOWTO: Using Features module for better website deployments (from development to staging/production)
  • quickstart Virtualbox development environment. How to setup. How to use.
  • Discussion: what beer goes best with Drupal. :-P
  • Please add your ideas to comments

disclaimer: we're meeting to have fun, sooo... as the beer companies say, drink responsibly. it's perfectly acceptable to join us and not drink alcohol.

Comments

This was a blast

We need to do more things like this. If you want to get into the community of drupal then these are the events that you need to attend. This is how connections are made.

definitely do another soon.

definitely do another soon. was a lot of fun, some good conversations, and a good mix of networking and Drupal.

FWIW - I also often work at a cafe...(at one now) - if anyone else in the area does too, I'm game for working at the same place... can be nice to have a resource to draw from that's not virtual.
