The Women of Beer and Blog at Beer and Blog Portland

Greetings from @mediaChick, your amiable Beer and Blog Portland Chapter Provost.

I’ve got some really great news for you: Beer and Blog attracts hot women!

This fact was revealed at the Portland Beer and Blog team meetup earlier this week. It was a cozy group of four: Justin Kistner, Christine Kistner, Kelly Guimont and little ol’ me. We get together to brainstorm event ideas and world domination strategies. (Bet you didn’t know we actually have meetings and, you know…plan stuff. In advance.)

We also share conversations we have with the bloggers who join us Friday nights. This is the part of the evening when Justin (Mr. Beer and Blog) mentioned the hot women at Beer and Blog. Specifically, he said someone told him “there are a lot of hot women here!” I imagine this said with a face that could only be described as: incredulous, with a dollop of gratitude.

And you know, the rest of us at the table had to agree. There are a lot of females these days at Beer and Blog, and their hotness runs the gamut. Geeky girls, artist girls, and writer girls. Girls who bake and knit and grow their own food and wrangle ones and zeros AT THE SAME TIME. Girls who hike and take photos and challenge themselves by completing every single Life Hacker: Weekend Project.

Let it be said, the ratio is still wonky: more boys than girls. But it’s a nice thing for THIS girl to think about: Women of Beer and Blog. Here’s a short train-of-thought list of ladies I’ve seen at the Portland, Oregon Beer and Blog. (I won’t link to them — I have a life, you know.)

@verso @camikaos, @missburrows, @lollyrae, @saydawn, @geekygirldawn, @spinnerin, @thisKat, @selenamarie, @melissalion, @irene_s @crunchysue, @caseorganic, @hundreddollar, @morganpdx, @cecivirtue, @mizd, @NycoHerzog, @StephStricklen, @msamye, @emailstine, @PDXsays, @betsywhim, @djtv, @Colemangirl, @katiejr, @JeanAnnVK, @skinny, @CarriBugbee, @evacatherder, @Seeger, @lilbutterfly, @kiala, @radiogretchen…and @mediaChick. Plus I’m sure, many more. (Ladies, if I’ve missed you, please add yourself to this list in the comments.)

Very nice selection of all makes and models of very lovely women. A few of us will be even be featured in the 2010 Get Naked for a Cause charity calendar (available now). Yes, me. Plus @verso, @camikaos and @colemangirl. (Perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Beer and Blog, Justin and Christine, will be in the 2011 edition?)

Hot women at Beer and Blog, indeed.

Also, bloggers talking about blogs, over beer. Join us?

ROFL I didn’t read past that long nick list to realize there actually was one.

Nice blurbs about the different types of women who show up to beer and blog.

So… if I show up to Beer and Blog, will I be kicked out if I’m not hot? I had wanted to check out this group, but the emphasis on sexual characteristics in this article makes me hesitant to show up. Just my 2¢.

@Sarah:

Um, no, you do not have to be hot to go to beer and blog…@turoczy is just a flirt.

Beer and blog is a lot of fun…haven’t been in forever, should get my tucas over there…

@Sarah Sharp, I’m sure that non hot women would be tolerated. However this makes it pretty clear who gets the attention & warm fuzzies. But sure, all of life is like that. Just like it was back in the good ol’ 50’s and for centuries before that.

If you’ve ever been to Beer and Blog, you would never ask the question if being hot is a requirement. We look like an average sampling of people off of the PDX streets. The point of the post was more to say that we have many women that attend, which is something that our female attendees appreciate. It’s nice to be in mixed company vs. the more typical geek gathering of dudes.

The post says, “Very nice selection of all makes and models of very lovely women.” and “There are a lot of females these days at Beer and Blog, and their hotness runs the gamut.” In other words, we have women of all shapes, sizes, and styles; and they are *all* lovely to us!

The calendar is such a cool idea. There are a lot of combinations more alluring than women and beer.
