impromptu PDX meetup Monday, May 18th?

iamkimiam — Sat, 16 May 2009 14:09:57 -0800

Anybody want to meet up for food and/or drinks in Portland, OR, this upcoming Monday, May 18th?

I'll be in Portland for a few days, and I have Monday evening free. Would love to meet some MeFites! Any place/area would be fine, but the SE section would be tops. Who's in?

I for one, would come, but I can only do this sort of thing Friday through Sunday.

Ooh! I'm in. And I could probably talk bunnycakes into coming too. And we're in the SE.

The weather's freakin' beautiful here right now and is prime sittin'-outside temps.

I'd love to, but I have tentative plans that evening, so I won't know for sure if I can make it until I hear back from the folks I'm supposed to meet with. If I end up being free, though, I'll be there!

Cool! Where's a good place for sittin'-outside?

Depending on where y'all end up, what time you're there, and whether my work is particularly sucktastic on Monday ,there is a non-zero chance that I may be able join up with y'all. How far S are you thinking in SE?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it, but I would take this moment to point out that the Green Dragon is technically in SE.

I might be able to make it for a little while, depending on when and where you're meeting. The Green Dragon would probably be good, but wherever on Hawthorne would probably work. Too much farther south would make things more difficult, though. And I'd need to leave pretty early, it being a Monday and all.

Let's do the Green Dragon at 6:00pm on Monday!

Someone will want to fix this in the sidebar, where it's listed at "Portland, CA".

By: dersins

dersins — Sun, 17 May 2009 22:00:42 -0800

That's just the sidebar's cute little way of acknowledging that so many Californians have moved to Portland that they've made at least part of it (i.e. the fucking "Pearl district") an extension of their state.

I have amended that dang ol' thing boy howdy.

Think anyone will still be there, say, 9ish?

By: dersins

dersins — Mon, 18 May 2009 10:49:48 -0800

Alas, the workday is beginning to shape up in such a way that it is unlikely that I will be able to make it this evening. Stupid Mondays.

Stupid clients.

By: Caduceus

Caduceus — Mon, 18 May 2009 14:20:22 -0800

I will almost certainly be there. I just passed my portfolio defense for my publishing graduate program, so I need to celebrate.

By: cortex

cortex — Mon, 18 May 2009 14:24:42 -0800

Woot. I'm a lock for attending, too, and I think Secretariat may show as well though that's still up in the air.

By: cortex

cortex — Mon, 18 May 2009 14:25:13 -0800

dersins u should fire ur clients lol

Well, looks like I'll be stuck here on campus for the evening, working on a group project, so no meetup goodness for me tonight.

Congrats on your academic achievement, Caduceus! I'll be finished with my post-bac program in accounting this summer, so I'll soon be celebrating as well.

Have fun, everyone!

Get the girlfriend to say yes and then haul some ass, yo.

By: iamkimiam

iamkimiam — Mon, 18 May 2009 16:43:21 -0800

YES! WHY ARE YOU STILL ON METAFILTER TYPING??? YOU SHOULD BE GETTING READY FOR THE AWESOME MEETUP!!!

By: dersins

dersins — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:07:48 -0800

How late do y'all expect to be there? There's a slight chance I may feel like heading out late-ish, but probably not until 9:30 or so. Too late, probably, though, right?

By: iamkimiam

iamkimiam — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:20:12 -0800

Are you on twitter dersins? How 'bout I send an update around 8:30-9 letting you all know that things are still going strong. Or not.

(my twitter feed is in my profile.)

By: dersins

dersins — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:26:21 -0800

I tweet not (that I be not tweeted), but this is something I can see by logging on to metafilter and looking at your profile, yes?

By: msalt

msalt — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:47:42 -0800

Sounds good, Dersins. If some tweetee can repost here, even better. I'll check around 8:30-9, I'm msalt on Twitter also.

msalt — Mon, 18 May 2009 21:32:44 -0800

As of 9:00pm, the hardcore remains (dersins, iamkimiam, & cadeucus )

By: Caduceus

Caduceus — Mon, 18 May 2009 22:02:44 -0800

It was a lovely little meetup, all, and it was awesome to meet you, iamkimiam and diocletian.

Thanks everyone for the congratulations, I'm pretty proud of myself.

Likewise. Too bad all those bus-ridin'-and/or-vancouver-livin' wussies wussed out so early.

By: Secretariat

Secretariat — Tue, 19 May 2009 12:17:04 -0800

Fun meetup. We did get rained on a bit on the way home. Sorry we wussily wussed, but hey, future meetups will be had.

I'm sorry I said that about your cats, iamkimiam! Upon further research, they are adorable.
