Happy 2011 from Beer and Blog!

January 1 2011, 8:12pm

Toast to a healthy and happy 2011! It’s the first day of a new year! Beer and Blog looks forward to another year of Fridays spent with you at the Green Dragon, talking about blogs over beer. This year you can expect more of the same, plus some changes to shake things up. (More on that soon.) But before we turn away from last year, here’s a short re-cap of the good times we had:

VIPs from WebVisions, Wieden+Kennedy and Read Write Web all stopped by throughout the year to chat us up and pick up the beer tab. Alaska Airlines paid for beer AND many platters of appetizers! Burk Jackson of CreativeCares came by to explain how his non-profit matches needy organizations with graphic designers and web developers We threw a Celebrate Lexie Day party to make sure our long-time Green Dragon waitress knows how much we love her (and we managed to raise almost $300 for her, too!) We were entertained by the hilarious and very SexyNurd We were visited by the crazy-haired CTO of Seesmic Portland’s own Mayor Sam Adams

Oh, and one other thing happened. Mr. Beer and Blog, Justin Kistner, passed the Beer and Blog stein to beer guy Kerry Finsand, who then passed it on…to me. ME. That’s right, folks, after years of toiling as Portland’s Chapter Provost, Michelle Anderson aka mediaChick…is in charge. Oddly, my duties are exactly the same
We hope that 2011 will be a banner year for the Beer and Blog community. Happy 2011!
