BTW, I created this as an event for the Portland, OR network on Facebook, mostly because, um, I wanted to figure out how.

Anyone know what the parking situation is like there? Unfortunately it doesn't look like Rock Bottom validates Smart Park tickets.

Alex, take MAX if you can. It stops on the same block as Rock Bottom (westbound, the stop is literally outside the doors to Rock Bottom).

If you're coming from the west side, I recommend parking at Sunset Transit Center or the Zoo/Washington park, and taking MAX in from there.

Hey - Jive Software is interested in sponsoring some part of this. Call Drew 503-972-7564 to work out the details. Our office is also right around the corner (and we have a keg in the breakroom) if we want to have a few after dinner drinks here.

I just got off the phone with Jive! WOW They are cool.

They care about community, and they know how to do it right, so I think this will work out, they are going to get back to me.

I wrote this post a while ago, "how to have a successful community event"

I'm sure Jive won't need to read it, it's really for larger more 'uptight' companies

Intel Software Network is going to sponsor the rest of the evening, together with Jive. No corporate crap, we just want to say we love bloggers. And we're hiring for a senior web dev/PHP person, too. ;-)

Paul - I'm a vegan and we'll have plenty to eat. The great thing about being a sponsor is that I get to pick veggie friendly food from places that I like to eat :-)
