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.

Wait List

I'll try to monitor the waitlist and add folks automatically if someone else drops out. Would be a good idea to specify an email address or some other means of contact so that I can notify you if you make it in.

Paid, but can't go list
  1. Cary Gordon (hip hoppist) - refunded

Non-beer-related Tuesday night activities (as if that were desired)

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.

UPDATE: The Laughing Seed is closed on Tuesday. Whoops. Let's meet in the lobby at 6pm and figure out a plan from there.

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.)

  4. David Woodbury
  5. Susan Teague-Rector
  6. Erin White
  7. Adam Rogers

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

Going to walk

Some folks are thinking of just walking to avoid the whole transportation issue. We're meeting 5:20ish by the registration desk for the conference.

  • Jon Gorman - will walk unless it starts looking like it's raining hard. Then might do taxi.
  • Scott Garrison - what Jon said
  • Harry Kaplanian

Designated Drivers

Names and vehicle capacities of volunteer BBQ drivers. The numbers include the driver.

  • Mike Silver - 4
  • Peter Murray - 5
  • Ross Singer - 5
  • Esmé Cowles - 4
  • Matt Bachtell - 4
  • Ryan Scherle - 2
  • Erik Hatcher - 4
  • Robert Haschart - 4
  • Benjamin Young - 4 or 5 (if you don't mind it being cozy)
  • Erik Mitchell - <ditto>
  • Leland Deeds - 1 or 2 more folks

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 (or whenever enough people wander back from gorging on BBQ/veg)
  • Where: Windsor B

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.

Working Out

Gotta make up for those beer and BBQ excursions somehow. Let's work out! Ideas: hiking, jogging, CrossFitting, surfing,...

CrossFit Asheville

CrossFit Asheville Contacted the gym, we're invited to the Monday night 6:30pm slot.

Monday night: meet in lobby at 5:45pm. The workout tonight isn't too bad: http://www.crossfitasheville.com/2010/02/22/100222-monday-beginnings/

Who's in?

  • Erik Hatcher (crossfit newb), can carpool three others
  • Michael Vandenburg (Crossfit curious) code4lib n00b beats crossfit n00b - this time.
  • Jeff Sherwood (I'd be into getting in a Crossfit WOD or maybe a run)
  • Jason Stirnaman (hiking, biking - don't mind the weather, lifting, cross-fitting)
  • Jodi Schneider (CrossFitting sounds fun if we can fit in their schedule, yoga, walking, hiking)
  • Erik Mitchell (only if we are not overwhelming their space sorry. . . had an unanticipated conflict
  • Steve DiDomenico (crossfit newb, also only if we aren't overwhelming their space) -- I will need a ride!

Jogging

Meet in lobby at 6:30am any day next week.

  • Monday: Erik Hatcher (too cold? I'll do the treadmill instead; 2-3 miles max)
    • Perhaps a good 5 mile (or less as this is an out & back) run to the Biltmore house gate? - Suggested route to Biltmore
    • Looks good. Count me in. (John Barneson)
    • Yitzchak Schaffer interested, 3-6 mi, 10:00 pace or so
    • Emily Lynema sounds good, 5 is great, pace & distance flexible (although I might skip if it's really 31 degrees & raining!)
    • Jean Rainwater, 5-6 mi, 10:00 pace
  • Tuesday: Sounds like a great day for the Code4Lib Inaugural 10 miler - Suggested Route to the Grove Park Inn
  • Update - leav hotel at 6am? - see you on the road!
    • Jean Rainwater, up for 10 miles if slowish means 10:00
  • Wednesday:
    • Erik Hatcher (2-3 miles max) (brrr - see you in the gym / hot tub)
    • Emily Lynema would be up for a 3-miler (presenting at 9:15am so have to be on time)
    • Weather permitting - a hike around Mt Mitchell or Mt. Pisgah, blue ridge parkway or trail run? [1]
