Welcome to the Beer and Blog family, Jackie! Definitely looking forward to visiting the Las Vegas chapter!!!
Welcome to the Beer and Blog family!
My husband Neal and I work Friday-Sunday evenings, so we would only be able to attend Monday-Thursday. When could the rest of you attend?
Monday-Thursdays are fine with me. I’d prefer Monday-Wednesday but it isn’t that big of a deal. I can’t attend on weekends or Friday nights.

“libationblog: Sorry wed is a no for me #beerandbloglv how about Sundays?”
Conversation from Twitter:
“dougdaulton: @jackie1776 B&B Thursdays at the Freaking Frog works. Shoot for 6-6:30PM. 5 is too close to work day end. – #wordcamplv”
“jackie1776: @dougdaulton I was thinking along the lines of “people will be there as early as 5 PM and stay until whenever”. Early = happy hour prices.”
“dougdaulton: @jackie1776 I hear ya. You might say “Officially starts at 6, but show up for happy hour beforehand.” Either way, I’ll be there.”
Received via Twitter:
“StevieSue: @jackie1776 I’ll try for Thurs at 5pm…could work if the family cooperates. Thanks for throwing something out there…such a fine idea.”
Conversation via Twitter:
“dwax: @jackie1776 @vegasgeek @Sara_Mooney Am all for Beer and Blog/Wine and Wordpress, but am in class Tues/Thurs until 7pm. Sad, I know
”
“jackie1776: @dwax @Sara_Mooney @vegasgeek Neal and I can do any M-Th early evening, but we work F-S evenings. I emailed FF owner to ask for best days.”
“dwax: @jackie1776 I’d vote for Wednesdays, but I don’t want to step on any toes — if majority goes Thurs, so be it. @Sara_Mooney @vegasgeek”
Received via Twitter (in response to Thursdays at 5PM):
“Sara_Mooney: @jackie1776 Sounds good to me. Do you mind if I retweet this to get feedback from others who may be interested?”
A bit after 5 on Thurs would be best. How about 6pm/6:30pm on Thurs?
Received via Twitter:
“dougdaulton Thursday’s work best, but I can make just about any evening work. Look for me 2-4 times a month. Oh, there is a “u” in my last name.”
Hooray for setting this up! I’m going to second Roger as he pretty much said exactly what I would but he said it first. Thurs eveneing would be best.
I can do just about any night. Thursdays work best for me. I doubt I’ll make it every single week, but you can count on me 2-3 times a month! And, for those that do not know, Freaking Frog has one of the best beer selections in the city. Beer snobs unite!
Any evening works well for me. The only one that will be slightly shady is Tuesdays since that’s my “long” day. Thanks for arranging this, Jackie!
My schedule is always changing.. so I’ll try and make whatever you guys can agree to!
Sounds great…the Freakin Frog is right across from the University. Weekdays right after 5:00 p.m. would be ideal for me. Two-for-one happy hour too!
I will be away from the computer from 5-10 PM tonight but Doug Daulton will be helping approve new comments to keep the discussion rolling. Thanks, Doug!
Folks,
Help promote LVBB by posting on your blog and tweeting about it using the #bnblv (not #beerandbloglv) hashtag! And, if you are a beer snob, you’ll be glad to know that Beer Advocate gives Freakin’ Frog an A- rating!
My vote is for thursdays. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays are big no’s for me. It is nice to see so many excited about this.
I’m so stoked this is happening as a result of WordCamp:Las Vegas. Big thanks to Aaron Hockley for the inspiration to make this happen.
@Doug, from experience, I suggest we use a shorted hashtag. May I suggest #bnblv
As for which night, I’m open. Thursday works for me, but any weeknight should be fine.
Huh — never heard of this. Maybe I will sign on … let me think about it …
Tuesday or Thursday nights are best for me. Thanks for making this a reality!
I would be interested in meeting up with folks, been discovering the Vegas blogging community over the past week. I work near the airport until 5, so any time after that I can make it for a time. @Rally666 on Twitter.
You pick the day. I will find away. Thanks for getting things up and running.

Yay beerinetz!
Thursdays work for me too, if we go later than 5 (6:30 -7 start is best, earlier fine but I’ll be late).
Mon, Tues or Wednesday work best for me while I’m in town. I play in the Twitter Poker game on Thursdays so that’s out. I could do the other weekend nights if I had to but would prefer not to.
Anything involving beer sounds good to me.
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are best for me.
#bnblv it is!
I like your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
I am available Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for this endeavor.
I vote for Wednesday evenings. Thursday night conflicts with the monthly writer’s meetup group. However, that would only be an issue once a month. Otherwise, Thursday is decent (not perfect).
