Tonight every programmer is welcome to meet up at Upstream Brewery off 171st and Center. The party starts at 6PM and goes until when people leave; my guess is around 9PM. Please come out, meet some new faces, some old faces, start a programmers flame war, talk about what you are working on, what is going on in the next year, etc. You are in good company so start talking or bring you laptop to show it off. Usually we are all at our laptops, but tonight will be more of a social thing.

Beer && Code Wednesday, 4PM at the Rock Bottom Brewery.
