The Coder's Social is a popular event for local tech user group members to get together and have a fun BBQ in the park. This is a very casual event with food, socializing, outdoor activities and games, making it perfect for bringing along your less-geeky significant other and family. When: 8/21 from 1-7pm Where: Laurelhurst Park, Picnic Area A Calagator link (with details): http://calagator.org/events/1250460828 This event is BYOB potluck, so it'd be great if you could bring something and label it (e.g. vegan, eggs, dairy, gluten-free, bacon, etc) to make it easier to share. You can see out what some others are bringing (http://bit.ly/nxZXmr) and sign up to bring a dish of your own (http://bit.ly/olpthd). Please don't be discouraged if you don't see many signups, the event usually draws 50-100 people and many don't list what they're bringing to the spreadsheet.

Yes. I don't recall anyone being strongly in favor of changing the time. There is the chance that starting earlier would make it easier to get in the building due to free geek's shortened hours, but my understanding is that it would be difficult for most people to get here much earlier. --Eric -- "But as to modern architecture, let us drop it and let us take modernistic out and shoot it at sunrise." --F.L.
