This month at Salem Beer and Blog, we’ll be discussing the next step in the web – shared social calendars. We’ll walk through Portland’s dotcal.com and get you started with you’re own free account!

Salem Beer and Blog Wednesday, June 9

6:30 pm Brown’s Towne Lounge 189 Liberty St NE

Federweiße fresh from the feet.

Our fifth monthly Salem Beer and Blog will feature a few new twists – wine and hard cider! Also, we’ll be covering the importance of tagging widgets and social network updaters like ping.fm, plurk and friendfeed.

Join us for an evening of casual networking and fresh white wine.

What: Salem Beer and Blog

When: 6-9 Thursday, October 1

Where: f-stop fitzgerald’s, 335 Grove St NE

Our meeting place has undergone some major changes and is in the final stages of becoming a great place for tech networking. A High Def screen has been installed with internet access and a wireless keyboard and mouse, so you can sit down with the crowd while surfing the net or leading a discussion. Stop by on the 10th and check it out!

Just so you don’t think that we’re total lushes at Salem Beer and Blog, here’s an image of a blog instead of beer. Tonight we’re meeting at the f-stop visual arts center to talk about Wordpress Multi-User and drink beer.

Things are transforming at f-stop. We’ve installed tile, buffed the natural wood and splashed on a fresh coat of paint, all in anticipation of the grand opening September 11 with the Visual Art Mixer.

When: 6-10

Where: f-stop visual arts center 335 Grove St NE Salem, OR

Stop by and talk it up with fellow bloggers tonight, July 2 from 6-10 pm. We are moving the discussion to Roxxy’s at 10 to upload at the burlesque show.

Three thumbs up!

Uncle Bingo director Chuck Magee was the proud winner of the official König Ludwig Dunkel bier mug. He happily broke it in immediately.
Thanks to everyone that came out to Salem Beer and Blog tonight. We had plenty to discuss and drink. Justin Kistner, founder of Beer and Blog, made a special trip down to christen the group and share his insights on many tech topics, including the effort to unite the tech and creative crowds.
If you missed the live broadcast on f-stop.tv, check back when we upload the taped show.
Thanks Salem techies!

Straight outta Bayern!

At tonight’s inaugural Salem Beer and Blog you will have a chance to win a REAL König Ludwig Dunkel mug liberated form the Kaltenberg Brewery in Bavaria. In addition, other authentic German drinking glassware will available for your use, including the dreaded dribble mug (can you crack the code?) and a Hacker Pschorr Maßkrug liberated from the Oktoberfest in Munich.

All this and more (like blogging tips) at the f-stop visual arts center 335 Grove St NE 6-8 pm.

See you there!
