For the first time, Portland Lunch 2.0 will happen in the 'burbs, Beaverton to be precise.
The OTBC is moving into new space and partnering with the Beaverton Round Executive Suites.
So, to showcase their new digs and introduce Lunch 2.0 to the suburbs, the OTBC will be hosting Lunch 2.0 on January 14, 2009.
The Beaverton Round is right on the MAX line about 20 minutes from Portland. Just jump off the Blue Line at the Beaverton Central stop, and you're 90 feet from the new OTBC office.
Lunch 2.0 is a Valley phenomenon that you can read about at lunch20.com, and we're putting a PDX stamp on it.
You can follow all things Portland Lunch 2.0 an the Silicon Florist.
Are you vegan or vegetarian? Please leave a comment so we can plan food accordingly. Thanks.

Count the Elusive Josh Bancroft in! Can't wait to see what they've done with The Round. Been waiting for someone to actually move in and do something there ever since it was an empty shell next to the movie theater that's not there anymore. :-)
I am a vegetarian and also excited to see OTBC's new digs (and get there via MAX).
Surprising - I didn't think anyone would want to travel so far out of the city. Maybe a lunch 2.0 at Tektronix isn't as unreasonable as I thought.
@another nickname: We can chat about hosting a Lunch 2.0 at Tektronix if you want. Expanding to the 'burbs is a good thing.

good to hear Lunch 2.0 is growing outside of pdx. Lots of cool places around the metro area to explore. Yay for Max, too.
@cookinupastory: Agreed, care to suggest any that are easily accessible, like via MAX and willing to host?
Finally a Lunch 2.0 I can attend. Usually my back-to-back meetings on Wednesdays in the burbs prevent me from attending. Yay!
If you're coming from the East Side, join us on the Lunch 2.0 Party Train! http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1366250/
I come from the far Westside for every Lunch 2.0. Lemme see if I can get my peeps interested in hosting...
veggie, pls... about time MAX became the nexus for soc. in PDX.. it was made for it.
vegetarian, please.
I'm also vegetarian. Looking forward to Jan 14!
Shirley and I will be there. We are meatitarians! We let the rabbits eat the veggies and we eat the rabbits.
I'll be attending, and am a vegetarian. Thank you!

I'd love some vegan food (pretty please?) :)
Another for veggies. Thank you team OTBC
Anyone interested in a tour of TechShop, we will carpool there after Lunch and return you to MAX. TechShop has a new blog at http://portlandtechshop.com and OpenTechSpace is at http://opentechspace.org
I'll be there for the first half and would like a vegetarian option.
I'll be there.
I will be there. Pepperoni or sausage on pizza, please.
Looks like a great way to celebrate coming out of hibernation! Also, I wonder if the cool tools at TechShop have had their drool guards installed yet...
Looking forward to it - veggie for me, please.
This will be my first event with the OTBC. I'm looking forward to finding out more about it and meeting new people! Meat or vegie is fine!
I plan to attend.
Vegetarian, please
thanks!
Hmm,...just down the block from the office. Tech never visits out here!

I plan to attend a bring a couple of colleagues. Sorry for the late RSVP!
Cool to see this in in the 'burbs!
I'm going to try to make the first hour.
I have a meeting backing up to this at noon, but making plans to get there as close to noon as possible!

stoked to have this out in the burbs! Will be much easier to attend since I wont have to drive so far and look for parking, etc.
thanks!
