Were we leaning toward a McMenamins so that the under 21 members could participate?

The meeting will take place at Mcmenamins Imbrie Hall, on Cornelious pass. The Address is 4045 NW Cornelius Pass Road
Hillsboro, Oregon 97124, easily accessible via Highway 26.

6PM, Friday we will meet at in the barn, first floor. Any problems?

Any problems?

Possibly. Unless the barn has been refloored in the last couple of years, it's elevated and has large gaps in it that let in a lot of cold air. I went to a party there and I was freezing from the waist down and sweating from the waist up do to the enormous space heaters pumping out heat.

The newly rebuilt Rock Creek Tavern is supposed to be really nice though. It's the same (outlying, suburban wasteland) area.

It isnt cold at all, I was there last week. We absolutely need to decide today... My vote still goes for Imbrie hall.

For those driving from Portland (me) on a Friday, the traffic is going to be hell, although I have always wanted to visit one of those McMens. I could make it around 7:00. Matt, are you coming?

Fair enough. The Roadhouse it is.

strangeleftydoublethink: could you MAX it?
posted by turbodog at 11:53 AM on January 22, 2004

That's a possibility. I could then drink a whole lot.
