# Embracing their inner Portlandness: ReadWriteWeb sponsors Portland Beer and Blog tonight

When it comes to covering startups and technology, few resources are comparable with [ReadWriteWeb](http://readwriteweb.com "ReadWriteWeb"), one of the leading tech blogs in the world.

But did you know that a good chunk of the [RWW staff](http://readwriteweb.com/about/ "RWW staff")—including [Marshall Kirkpatrick](http://twitter.com/marshallk "Marshall Kirkpatrick"), [Frederic Lardinois](http://twitter.com/fredericl "Frederic Lardinois"), [Abraham Hyatt](http://twitter.com/abrahamhyatt "Abraham Hyatt"), [Alex Williams](http://twitter.com/podcasthotel "Alex Williams")—is right here in Portland, Oregon? And there’s also [Curt Hopkins](http://twitter.com/curthopkins "Curt Hopkins") in Eugene. It’s true. And this week, ReadWriteWeb’s founder, New Zealander [Richard MacManus](http://twitter.com/rww "Richard MacManus"), is even here in Portland too. So what better time for RWW to embrace their true Rose City spirit by [sponsoring Portland Beer and Blog](http://portland.beerandblog.com/2010/06/17/readwriteweb-is-sponsoring-this-weeks-beer-and-blog/ "ReadWriteWeb is sponsoring this week’s Beer and Blog")?

That’s right. Or Write. Or whatever.

> Then I got an email from the famed Co-Editor of RWW Marshall Kirkpatrick that ReadWriteWeb wanted to also sponsor drinks this Friday! How cool is that?!!

> So, come on down and schmooze with the RWW staff and enjoy some cold ones on them. Richard is in town from New Zealand, so it’s a rare treat to have some face time with him.

As always, Beer and Blog starts around 4 PM at the [Green Dragon Bistro & Brew pub](http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Green+Dragon+Bistro+%26+Brew+Pub,+Portland,+OR&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=41.903538,93.076172&ie=UTF8&hq=Green+Dragon+Bistro+%26+Brew+Pub,&hnear=Portland,+Multnomah,+Oregon&ll=45.516602,-122.656689&spn=0.018163,0.045447&z=15&iwloc=A "Green Dragon Bistro and Brew pub"). Given the weather, probably earlier. And probably on the deck.
