11th Anniversary Meetup June 18, 2010 9:01 AM Subscribe
This July 17th, in Portland, OR, is going to be an 11th Anniversary Meetup. Be here or be square.
Location: Green Dragon
928 Southeast 9th Avenue
Time: July 17th, 6pm onward.
Side attraction: prior to the meetup, there may be a tour of Integrity Spirits.
We will be negotiating some sort of sponsored-by-Metafilter beer tickets / food, so please chime in here if you are planning to attend so we can get a count (hopefully we will have a better tally system soon).
this was sorted out in the previous meta.

I just figured it was a Groucho Marx type situation: "Please accept my resignation. I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member."

Dammit, I'll be landing at the Portland airport late that afternoon with wife & 2 kids in tow, & driving straight to my dad's in Gaston.
I don't think it'd play out too well if I bailed from my family vacation for a meetup in the first hour -- but it doesn't mean I don't wish I could.

I'll be there! And, if you're also taking a headcount for the Integrity Spirits tour, count me in for that too -- looks interesting.

> I want to go! Is there any kind of secret knock or maximum user id number criteria I need to know about?
I am not the president of Metafilter yet, but I think I speak for everyone when I say that if you're slumming around in Metatalk then you've well cleared the bar already. The criteria, as I understand it, is:

☑ you are on metafilterSo I say c'mon the hell down. This is going to be a really good time.
☑ you want to drink beer with other people who are on metafilter

Hey, hey, enough with the beer-normative talk already! Some of us are on Metafilter and want to drink WHISKEY COKES with other people who are on Metafilter.

I intend to travel to Portland for this (and bring along a +1), but I haven't yet booked my flight / hotel. Does that make it a valid RSVP yet?

Awesome, yeah, just keep track of the thread, we will eventually link to a gigfilter page (when that is sorted out) for the event.

Are you sure gigfilter will be up and running that soon? I kind of got the impression it was more of a "in the works, maybe sometime this year" type of thing. Maybe there should be memail rsvps for a headcount?

This is a rudimentary google doc that everyone has edit access rights to, as an interim step.
I've heard from voices on high that gigfilter or something should be available otherwise, but we can use this in the interim.

I ought to be able to attend this one. Life's been busy lately, though, so I'm not certain. May bring a +1, but again, everything has been kind of up in the air lately.
