Prepare for #ELGL14 by learning about who is attending. Find out if you’ll be surrounded by soft talkers, loud eaters, and finger biters or whether you’ll be surrounded by the best in local government.

(Complete the sentence) #ELGL14 is….… going to be great! I can’t wait.
Registration for #ELGL14 cost $60. If you could use that $60 to buy something else, what would you buy?
I’d convert $60 to $507 Argentine pesos and spend them on good red wine. I’d be in Argentina though… that might cost a little more…
If #ELGL14 spun off into a music festival, what bands (dead or alive) would you like to see?
- Alt-J
- Robert Johnson
- Manu Chao
- Imogen Heap
- Radiohead
Apparently there would be no theme!
During your time in Portland for #ELGL14, how do you plan on “Keeping Portland Weird?”
Naked bike riding with coworkers doesn’t seem to be the way to go…. maybe I’ll wait a really, really, ridiculously long time for brunch?
(Complete the sentence) I feel old when……… I think about college… you guys remember Napster?
