Code4Lib 2010 social activities

Ideas

New breweries opening

Original Proposal (suggests some nearby events)

Asheville Beer Hashtag

Planned events

Plan one if you like! Either on your own or you can join the social activities committee.

Asheville Brews Cruise

"Experience a taste of Asheville’s thriving local beer scene with an exclusive tour of three of our award-winning microbreweries." - http://www.brewscruise.com/asheville/

A big shout out to Talis for stepping up and sponsoring a portion of this event. Our first stop on the cruise will be a brewery slash pizza joint and Talis has generously offered to pay for our pizza. Yay!

Itinerary

  1. Pickup from the hotel is tentatively scheduled for 6:15pm. Those who haven't pre-paid should try to get there a little early.
  2. Stop #1 will be the Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co. where we will sample 16-20 different beers and consume our delicious, alcohol-absorbing, Talis-sponsored pizza.
  3. Stop #2 will be Highland Brewing Company, "Asheville's 1st and largest brewing company"
  4. Stop #3 will be the French Broad Brewery which "specializes in a variety of European style beers."
  5. Expected return to the hotel is around 9:30-10pm

Cost & Payment

The cost for the cruise is $40 per person. You have one options for paying:

  1. Bring $40 with you on the night of the cruise. I've been told they have a hand-held credit card machine for the cash-strapped.

UPDATE: I've had enough people prepay. Just bring cash or a credit card on Tuesday night.

Signup

Sorry, the event is full! We were forced to set a limit of 48 persons due to that's the max number of folks that will fit into two party buses, plus we don't want to overwhelm the staffs at the breweries. There is, however, a waitlist that someone started below.

Non-beer-related Tuesday night activities

Dinner at Somewhere Other Than the Laughing Seed

Meet in the hotel lobby at 6pm. I (Julia) am going to try to call and make reservations during the afternoon break; check back after break for updates.

What about: Rosetta's Kitchen http://rosettaskitchen.com/

  1. Julia Bauder
  2. Emily Lynema (Julia, I might be running a few minutes late if we can not make the res. right at 6pm if possible). (JB: Sure, I was going to make the reservations for 6:30, to give us time to gather up and walk down there.)

12 Bones BBQ Dinner Excursion

(was a lunch excursion)

12 Bones BBQ is widely considered the best BBQ in Asheville [*]. However it is only open from 11-4, M-F. We would like to organize a group so that we can rent out the place on Wednesday night. If we get at least 50 people, it will be doable.


When: Wednesday, February 24th

Time: Cash Bar: 6:00pm Dinner: 6:30pm

Where: 5 Riverside Drive Asheville NC, 28801

  • Driving Directions (5 minutes)
  • Walking Directions (30 minutes / 1.7 miles)
  • Cabbing Directions: If you all would like to organize into cabs, I would suggest meeting in the lobby of the hotel between 5:45pm and 6:00pm and figuring things out from there. While I would normally love to help out with 80 people taking cabs (insert sarcasm here), I'll probably already be at the venue. A couple of cab companies I found are:
    • New Blue Bird Taxi Company - (828) 258-8331
    • Checker Cab Service - (828) 254-1155

Menu: This will be buffet style. So bring your appetite.

  • Pulled Pork
  • Chopped Beef Brisket
  • Corn Bread
  • Buns
  • Mashed Sweet Taters
  • Sweet Vinegar Coleslaw
  • Collard Greens (contains meat)
  • Fountain Drinks/Sweet Tea/Unsweetened Tea

Werewolf!

It wouldn't be a tech conference unless we got together one evening to turn into a gang of murdering beasts and hyper-suspicious victims. Facilitated by the one and only mbklein.

  • When: Wednesday evening
  • Time: 8 PM
  • Where: TBA. Watch this space.

About Werewolf

Werewolf (also known as Mafia) is a parlor game that has become the obsession of techie conferences everywhere. At it's most basic, it's a game of information asymmetry -- a battle between an uninformed majority (the townspeople) and an informed minority (the werewolves who live and hunt among them). At its best, it's an off-the-wall paranoid screaming match. There are dozens of variations -- we'll start with the basics, and depending on everyone's stamina and desire to keep playing, save the tricky stuff for later. Hopefully by the end of the evening all the participants will be jibbering, jumpy, sleep-deprived lunatics incapable of trusting even their closest friends.

In other words, good times.

    • Jean Rainwater, up for 10 miles if slowish means 10:00

Pre-Pre-Conference

Olympic Hockey

If you're interested in watching the Can/US men's hockey game at 7:30pm on Sunday (2/21), the Bier Garden seems like a decent option.

  • Andrew Darby (will be there, unless my flight is delayed)
  • Julia Bauder -- tried to call to make reservations, and couldn't get through. I'm going to head over around 7:15; I'll hang around the hotel lobby for a bit before I do, if you want to meet up there. Look for the tiny chick with long red hair.
  • Esmé Cowles

Belgian Beer

If you'd rather drink Belgian beer, show up at the Thirsty Monk anytime in the PM on Sunday (2/21).

  • Mike Giarlo (showing up either immediately after lunch or immediately after dinner or maybe camped out there all day)
  • Mike Lindsey (here's hoping they have some sours)
  • Scot "Chimay Rouge" Colford
  • Yvonne Federowicz (wishes kriekenbier)
  • Mark "oud bruin" Matienzo
  • Michael Doran (8pm-ish)
  • Rob Casson (altho may hop over to the Bier Garden at some point, as i'm not getting dinner there)
  • Declan (plane lands at 9:45p...)
  • Daniel Lovins (if I can find my way there)
  • Chris Beer

The Thirsty Monk is closed this afternoon 2/21 - not sure about PM - for a "private function". Is this us, tonight? -yf
