Should you RSVP for events?
We have received several questions about whether or not attendees should RSVP for the events they are planning to attend. In short, yes.
RSVPing for events is helpful to the organizers so they can work out logistical issues, like how many chairs to rent. Some venues have limited space and if the attendee list nears the limit and the organizer is required to check names at the door, then those who RSVP’d get first seating. Seems fair, right? Sure it does. And what’s a couple button clicks in the grand scheme of things? So, go on and RSVP by clicking on the link on each event page.
Ultimately, it’s up to the event organizer whether or not they want to check names at the door. So like my grandmother used to say, better to be safe than sorry.
See you all in a few weeks!

Portland Web Studio
We have a small web studio with seating for 12 or so (and probably upwards of 20 if you brought more chairs). There’s a modestly-sized whiteboard if you’d like to use it, too.
It’s right above The Beermongers, so those in attendance can bring some pints upstairs if the situation calls for it. We also have [...]
