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.

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 :)

UTD graduate at 635 & 75, here.

just in case you guys are just following your own threads (like I do), we have http://dallas.startupdrinks.com

I'm in Oklahoma City, maybe we should get a Oklahoma Texas group together.

I will set you up if you want to make it happen

I live in OKC too - please email me if any setup happens, richardbowles 005 (at) gmail.com

Andrew got us set up for dallas.startupdrinks.com. Post a comment and we'll get a first get-together set up.

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

RSS feeds?

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?

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

Hey - I work in Portland, ME. Shoot me an email? john at quotesignal dot com - I'd love to catch up with you guys.

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

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.

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.

A Toronto event has been added for the Torontonians out there: http://toronto.startupdrinks.com/

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

Andrew set me up with the tools for Portland, OR

Start posting! We'll drink soon.

Sydney, Australia has had Beer 2.0 for about a year and before that Dinner 2.0

But any time to talk startup over berr is cool

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

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

Is this available to those of us outside the States?

yes, email and we will set you up.
