LibTechWomen Meetup, Tuesday February 10th
When: Tuesday, February 10th - 5:30pm - 7pm
Where: The Veggie Grill -- 508 SW Taylor St. (One block from the hotel.) Menu is here.
An informal meetup for women and their friends in library technology. No need to RSVP. I'll try to make sure there's an announcement ahead of time, and will be in the hotel lobby at 5:15 to point people in the right direction.

Craft Brew Drinkup, Tuesday February 10th
When: Tuesday, February 10th - 7pm - 10pm (ish)
Where: eBay Offices - 1400 SW 5th Ave, Portland, OR 97201
The Craft Brew Drinkup at Code4lib 2015 is all about sharing and enjoying good beer with fellow conference attendees. The idea is to bring bottles of your favorite beers or non-alcoholic drinks.
While you're not obligated to bring local brews from wherever you're from, participants are definitely encouraged to bring brews that you think is special and might be somewhat hard for others outside your area to find. Homebrew is especially welcome as are non-alcoholic beverages. Hot water will be provided for those who want to bring tea blends.
This year, eBay has agreed to host the Code4Lib Drinkup at their offices in downtown Portland, a 6 block walk from the conference hotel. Attendees should expect to bring something to share, either drinks or snacks. Cups will be provided by the host.
Please Note: The space must be cleaned up and all folks gone no later than 11pm.
Space is limited to the first 200 people who register for the event!
Please sign up on the Craft Drinkup wiki page to share the brews and bottles you're thinking of bringing along and special requests can be made, but don't expect that your wishes will be granted.

Game Night, Wednesday February 11
Games sign up on the Game Night page
Where: Parlor A (same level as Ballroom) at the Hilton.
When: February 11, 6pm
Karaoke, Wednesday February 11
Interested in singing your face off, and/or enjoying others doing the same?
When: February 11, 8-11pm
Where: Voicebox PDX, 2112 NW Hoyt, Portland, OR 97210 / 503.303.8220
Cost: About $15 (depending on number of people and how long we stay) plus whatever food & drink you order
Details: Update We've upgraded to the $80/hr room that can hold up to 30 people.
Song List: Create an account at VBSongs if you want to plan/save your playlist in advance! You can also use it to queue songs to sing direct from your mobile device.
Advice from a PDX local Voicebox regular: With a group this size, we might consider setting some ground rules to make sure everyone gets to sing, for example, don't queue more than one song in a row, don't have more than two songs in the queue, etc...

Social Map - Places of Interest
Ideas
Want to see a specific event? Add your own ideas here...
Local Food
- Portland Food Carts - Several in Pioneer Courthouse Square (2 blocks away from conference) and a huge pod off SW 10th & Alder. "Pods" are locations with multiple food carts and a good choice for a large group with different dietary needs, preferences, and budgets. Most meals are under $10. Pod Map. It's rare to find a place to sit, so once you've got your meal check your map for the nearest green square in downtown.
Restaurants
Donuts
- Blue Star Donuts - Awesome donuts.
Desserts
- Euphoria Chocolate - Sold by many gift shops, including the Made In Oregon at PDX Airport. Local chocolate, good stuff.
