Beer and Blog Las Vegas

It seems like just a week ago we were preparing for another Beer and Blog… Oh, wait… it WAS just a week ago.

Time to start RSVPing for this Thursday’s Beer and Blog. As per usual we will be meeting at the Freakin’ Frog on Maryland Parkway across from the UNLV campus from 6-8 PM.

Don’t forget that the Freakin’ Frog offers happy hour 2-1 beer specials and they have a menu for ordering some bar food as well.

Please send your RSVPs via twitter to @beernblogvegas or @rally666 or leave a comment on the post below!

See you there!

Who’s Coming

At last week’s Beer and Blog event we were treated to something a little different. Sean from LibationBlog.com had scheduled some time upstairs in the Whiskey Attic in order to film several videos for his blog. Each video was Sean behind the bar mixing up some tasty drink. The best part was of course getting to drink all the concoctions once he was done filming each segment. One of the drinks was called the Mind Eraser. Apparently it lives up to it’s name because nobody can seem to remember the names of any of the other drinks he made that night. We’ll just have to keep checking out LibationBlog.com to refresh our memories as the videos get released.

As usual, we’d appreciate it if you could please send a quick RSVP if you plan on attending BNBLV on Thursday night. Feel free to DM @vegasgeek or @sara_mooney and we’ll add you to the list.

I’m looking forward to seeing the following people tomorrow night!

From Diana Webber, Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas, Sales and Marketing:

The old slogan, “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” is not always true. It’s hardly the case when you’re hanging out with bloggers. Take a break from grueling shows, dinners and tall bottles of water. Hang out and drink with all the important people (geeks and gadget bloggers) as well as Bon Jovi Fans. This should be fun.

The blogger party will be the First for the Hard Rock Café Vegas ,so be a lil’ gentle with us,  Don’t Let it Stay in Vegas Blogger Bash at the Hard Rock Cafe.  Featuring complimentary appetizers and open beer bar, it’s hard not to have a good time.

This blogger party is happening on Friday, April 24, 2009 from 6-9pm at the Hard Rock Café (on the corner and in front of the HRH). Please email Diana Webber at the Café  to request an invite, please submit your URL with invitation request.

Two days until a very special edition of Beer & Blog Las Vegas at the Freakin Frog.  This week we’re playing host to the Beer & Blog founders, Justin (@justinkistner) and Christine (@emailstine).  Some of you may remember them from the inaugural Vegas meeting.  Doug (@douglaskarr) will also be here scoping out our operations to get ideas for the new chapter in Indianapolis, IN.  And who knows… we may get even crazier and throw in a few other surprises.  You’ll just have to come to find out for yourself.

On other business, we’re looking at taking a field trip to Bar Louie in the upcoming weeks instead of meeting at the Freakin Frog.  At this point, it’s tentative and we’ll be sure to let you know if the venue changes.

As always, please DM @BeerNBlogVegas or @Sara_Mooney, or leave a comment below if you’ll be attending.  The staff of the Freakin Frog thanks you — as does your council of elder drunks.

Hi, Beer and Bloggers!  Here are a few events you may be interested in… all happening on the same weekend.

First, our very own John Hawkins (@vegasgeek) will be speaking at WordCamp Reno on April 25th.  If anyone wants to make the 8 hour drive or $50 flight up there, check out the site for registration information.  He’d love to see a few familiar faces in the audience!

For those of you who want to stay closer to home, the Roller Derby comes to town on April 25th.  Andrea (@fjtoyota) will have them for sale for $5 (that’s $2 off the regular price!) at the Thursday Beer & Blog meetings.  Please see her if you’d like to purchase a ticket.  No news on if there is beer at the Roller Derby at this point.

And for those of us who cannot attend either event, we expect great blog posts from those of you who do.  See everyone on Thursday!

Same drill, different week. Freakin’ Frog. Thursday. 6 p.m. Blog talk. Beer drinking. Geeks. And a bit of local music later in the evening. Leave a comment below or tweet @BeerNBlogVegas or @Sara_Mooney if you’ll be attending so we can give the barkeeps a heads up. Thanks!

Also, @VegasGeek tweeted about a 31 day blog program (don’t worry, it’s not AA.  The beer is safe!). Darren Rowse (@ProBlogger) is running a 31 Days to Build a Better Blog program starting April 6th.  If you have the time, sign up for the daily email.  It would be great to see Las Vegas flood the interwebs with a slew of new posts!

This weekend is also Joomla! Days.  It’s $65 for the event, and will be held at the Montelago Resort. See their website for the agenda and list of all-star presenters.

That’s all for now.  See you tomorrow night!

Here’s who’s RSVP’d so far:
