'''Game Night'''
 +
 +
Update: We've secured Wednesday night in Magnolia 2!  I'm adding this as a planned event above.
 +
 +
I can bring some board games if people are interested. I have a decent [http://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/vacekrae?geekranks=Board+Game+Rank&columns=title%7Cstatus%7Cversion%7Crating%7Cbggrating%7Cplays%7Ccomment%7Ccommands&own=1&ff=1&subtype=boardgame collection].

'''Trolley Pub'''
 +
 +
14 person pedal-powered [http://trolleypub.com/raleigh/ trolleys].  Can be booked for pub crawls in downtown or in the Warehouse District. BYOB allowed. Private tours for 8-14 people can be booked for $350 for two hour time slots between 11:00 AM and midnight.  Smaller groups of 1-6 people can also buy 'Mixer' tickets for $30 (shared trolley).
 +
 +
Note: with weather being what it might be and the money required, this might not be a good idea now.  --J. Raitz @ NCSU
 +
 +
'''Brewpub Walk'''
 +
 +
Three brewpubs can be found along a [http://goo.gl/maps/haOiD 1.2 mile walk] through the Warehouse District west from the Sheraton.
 +
NOTE: Trophy Brewing, the westernmost brewpub, has great pizza but limited seating.  To finish with dinner, go in smaller numbers if eating at Trophy, or go around the corner to Irregardless Cafe, which has veg*n options.  Alternatively, start at Trophy and go the opposite direction and eat in the Warehouse District or downtown where there are many dining options.
 +
 +

A/V Geeks Present: When Computers Were Young, Wednesday 3/26

A/V Geeks maintains a collection of over 23,000 old 16mm educational films from various decades of the 20th century, including such classics as The Library Story (1952), many obtained from school and government auctions. Media archaeologist Skip Elsheimer holds themed showings of selected films at events around the Triangle and in other states.

This event, When Computers Were Young, will include "Actual 16mm school films that introduce us to the wonderful world of computers and their potential future -- all before Google!" Films will include Disney's Ethics in the Computer Age and more. This showing is an all ages, public event that is part of a series of monthly shows held at Kings Barcade, but the event has been scheduled and themed with the Code4Lib crowd in mind.

When: Doors open at 7:30 PM. Show starts probably closer to 8:00 and will involve a number of shorter films. People can come and go as they please.

Where: Located two blocks from the Sheraton, Kings is a 250-capacity live music venue with a full bar and several local beers on tap. Kings is directly connected with the Neptunes Parlour, a cocktail lounge with classic arcade games, pinball, and nightly DJ's. The new Garland Indian restaurant, operated by the same owners, is also downstairs. The entrance to Kings and Neptunes is just past the "Garland" sign if you turn west down Martin St. (past the Subway on Fayetteville St.) and look right. Kings is upstairs and Neptunes is downstairs.

Cost: The event is free with a suggested $5 donation.

Update: We've secured Wednesday night in Magnolia 2! I'm adding this as a planned event above.

I can bring some board games if people are interested. I have a decent collection. Let me know via email at vacekrae on gmail. +

Trolley Pub

14 person pedal-powered trolleys. Can be booked for pub crawls in downtown or in the Warehouse District. BYOB allowed. Private tours for 8-14 people can be booked for $350 for two hour time slots between 11:00 AM and midnight. Smaller groups of 1-6 people can also buy 'Mixer' tickets for $30 (shared trolley).

Note: with weather being what it might be and the money required, this might not be a good idea now. --J. Raitz @ NCSU

Brewpub Walk

Three brewpubs can be found along a 1.2 mile walk through the Warehouse District west from the Sheraton. NOTE: Trophy Brewing, the westernmost brewpub, has great pizza but limited seating. To finish with dinner, go in smaller numbers if eating at Trophy, or go around the corner to Irregardless Cafe, which has veg*n options. Alternatively, start at Trophy and go the opposite direction and eat in the Warehouse District or downtown where there are many dining options.
