Mixing Things Up: Good Folks, New Networking & Tasty Beer
Not going to lie, we love a good mixer (and great beer).
Since we can't imagine a better time for a biergarten happy hour than July, we're hosting a special mixer on the 23rd designed to cross-pollinate the awesome folks of Analyze Boulder, Caffeinated Mornings & SheSays Boulder.
Let's just say the theme is "New Networking." There are no rules or expectations, but it's actually a cool way to mingle because it isn't about trying to sell something, it's about helping. So, have a drink or two, meet interesting people, and feel free to start any conversation with "How can I help you?" You might just make someone's day (or month) by helping them to find a great programmer/dentist/solution and probably cross paths with someone who can help you out with ...

Gravelines (Dutch: Grevelingen) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.
It lies at the mouth of the river Aa 15 miles (25 km) southwest of Dunkirk. There is a market in the town square (Place Charles Valentin) on Saturdays. The "Arsenal" approached from the town square is home to an extensive and carefully displayed art collection. There are modern bronze statues in the grounds. The town is also home to French basketball club BCM Gravelines.
In the early 12th century, Saint-Omer was an important port in western Flanders. However silting gradually cut it off from the North Sea, resulting in the construction of a canal to the new coast at what is now Gravelines. The name is derived from the Dutch Gravenenga, meaning Count's Canal. The new town became heavily fortified as it guarded the western borders of Spanish territory in Flanders.
Gravelines was taken by Henry le Despenser's English forces during the Norwich Crusade of 1383 and was that year destroyed on his orders as the English retreated towards Calais.[1]
There was a famous Meeting at Gravelines in 1520, between the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Henry VIII of England. There were also two battles fought nearby: the first was a land battle in 1558 resulting in a victory by Spanish forces of Lamoral, Count of Egmont over the French under Marshal Paul des Thermes, while the second was a naval attack using fire ships in 1588 launched by England's Royal Navy under Lord Howard against the Spanish Armada at anchor. Gravelines was also the setting for Sir Philip Sidney's failure to deliver the town from Spanish occupation in July 1586, which is described in the anonymous A Discourse of the enterprise of Gravelines.
The town was captured and recaptured several times by the French and Spanish between 1639 and 1658, and finally annexed to France in the Treaty of the Pyrenees of 1659.
Only in the 19th century did the population become totally French speaking.

Lier is a Belgian city located in the province of Antwerp. The city is said to have been founded in the 11th century. In 1212, the Duke of Brabant Henri I granted an urban charter to the inhabitants. The fourteenth century was a period of prosperity for the city: construction of a cloth hall in 1367, a belfry in 1369 and a second rampart in 1389. The prosperity of the city was based on the drapery industry and on the existence of a cattle market, which had been granted to it by the Dukes of Brabant.
Grote Markt
Since the Middle Ages the Grand Place is the beating heart of Lier, which received civic rights in 1212. It has been the backdrop to small and big events for centuries, the weekly market, processions, parades, shows and high visits.
The triangular shape would indicate its Frankish origin.
In 1914, three quarters of the houses were destroyed. As if by miracle the Town Hall and the Belfry were only slightly damaged. After WWI some buildings were rebuilt in their original form, others in various neo-styles.
A large round “witch stone” (heksensteen) marks the spot where, according to a popular narrative, the last witch was burned at the stake in Lier. Until 1842 executions were carried out here.
