Tech Fest North West is going on in Portland. I love that I live in a city that hosts so many tech conferences. I don’t like that I still feel so out of place at some events. I loved OS Bridge and enjoyed volunteering at OSCON but I feel so out of place at TFNW. A few of us decided to check out an after party so we wandered downtown,  got our wristbands and into the venue we went.
Awkward! Totally not my crowd at all. I’m having a bit of trouble navigating this new community but I’m hoping I’ll have more skills or insight once I complete the Ascend Project.

What I learned today. Silverware was used because it didn’t impart any flavors into the food.
