Brisbane Alt.Net Beers I

Tonight was the first Brisbane Alt.Net Beers. I am sitting at Central station killing time before the Cleveland train arrives to take me away from the madness. The diggy billboard informs me that they can get me on the front page of Google guaranteed! Sweet.

The evening turned out nothing like the UK Alt.Net Beers, which are characterised by a fixed time limit and a single topic. Tonight was a group of nerds, ranging from mild to intense, drinking beer and discussing the failures and successes of their professional lives. For some it was enlightening, for some it was cathartic and I hope it was enjoyable for everyone. I think it is a good sign that Brisbane Alt.Net is alive and well. Lets do it again some time.

Brisbane Alt.Net Beers

This Thursday, 8th of October, we will be having the first Brisbane Alt.Net Beers, and you're invited.

Here is a description of the event, stolen from Sebastien Lambla:

An hour-long timeboxed openconf-style session where the one subject being discussed will be chosen by the attendants. And of course all this in a pub environment, fueled with just enough beer to make everybody participate.

It's happening at the Riverside Pig 'n' Whistle from 6pm. Here is how to get there.

Please RSVP on EventBrite.
