I LO VE IT. I really\, really do. Except\, momentarily\, maybe not right this second. Right now\, you see\, I am a wee sad to be your Official Provos t. It means I am ineligible to win the most excellent beer-related loot we have ever had to give away: \;\n \;\n2 VIP tickets to the Portl and International Beer Festival in July\, courtesy of GoTime.com. \;\ n \;\nYes\, really. \;\n \;\nBut wait! There's more! \;\n 3\;\nThese two tickets for the Portland International Beer Festival\, wh ich is scheduled for July 17-19 in the North Park Blocks of the Pearl Di strict\, includes the following goodies and privileges: \;\n \;\n Unlimited entry/re-entry all weekend \;\n VIP express entry (no waiti ng in line) \;\n Commemorative festival glass (beer mug &\; shot g lass) \;\n A premium festival shirt \;\n 15 beer tickets each \ ;\n \;\nGenerous prize package\, I'd say! GoTime.com is a Seattle-bas ed outfit with a sweet (free) iPhone app that tracks hundreds of detaile d happy hour listings and nightlife discounts in the Portland area. \ ;\n \;\nAll you have to do for your chance to win is put your Beer an d Blog Network username in the proverbial hat this Friday at the Green D ragon. There may even be an actual hat\, I don't know\, but I do know na mes will be accepted starting at 4pm and the name of a very\, very lucky Beer and Blogger will be drawn at 6pm. \;\n \;\nDon't have a Beer and Blog username yet? No-problemo! Just show up this Friday and one of the usual Portland Chapter suspects (read: Justin\, Kelly\, Christine o r myself) will enroll you. Maybe you tried to register online for the Be er and Blog network but couldn't get in? That's because our online netwo rk requires offline registration. Here's the reasoning behind that: \ ;\n \;\nWe want everyone in the network to be a real person\, with a true interest in the health and viability of the idea behind Beer and Bl og: bloggers helping bloggers over beer. With a free\, online Beer and B log membership you can communicate with any member of the Beer and Blog family\, from any Beer and Blog chapter\, as well as chime in on discuss ions concerning your local chapter. Most importantly\, we want your Beer y and Bloggy input on upcoming presentation ideas\, field trips\, and th e like\, and what better way to collect opinions then to create a gated online community! Seriously. \;\n \;\nSo if you're not already reg istered\, get registered at this Friday's Beer and Blog for your chance to win the goodies generously donated by GoTime. \;\n \;\nI only a sk that the winner let me briefly hold the commemorative festival glass and remind me how much I love being the Portland Beer and Blog Chapter's Provost. \;\n \;\nBecause I really do. =)\n\nTags: beer and blog\ , gotime\, international beer festival\n\nImported from: http://calagato r.org/events/1250457201 URL:http://portland.beerandblog.com SUMMARY:Beer and Blog SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
