Mefibrarians descend upon PDX; Meetup and possible 10.6.1?
PLA is in Portland March 23 - 27. Any other Mefibrarians PDX-bound? I'd love to get together Friday night 3/26 Downtown or nearby. I know there's this discussion going on, so without wanting to mess up the versioning scheme, it would be great to meet some portland area mefites if the timing works out. Any suggestions for a time and place?

As a non-librarian I would totally crash this party and attend.

The 20th is my one weekend at home all month, I don't think I'll be in PDX on the 20th, but I may make it a longer stay and be there for some of the week.

I'm doing a preconference too; should we consider a midweek meetup instead? Friday night is just a starting point. Throw out some dates when your travel plans are settled, Jessamyn, so we can shoot for a multi-mod meetup. Also, non-mefibrarians please crash so we talk about things other than LIBRARIES

I have to be there for that! Jessamyn is the only Stateside mod I haven't met yet.
20 March was only a suggestion; feel free to change it as you see fit. I actually only threw it out there so that I could get 10.7 on the books for Enchanted Forest.
So what do you (collectively) think about just changing 10.6 to the 26th?

I think when that happens, Vacapinta is required to wait in the impenetrable mod-bunker until word is out that all the other mods have survived and are no longer in the same strategic location. You never know when Fark is going to attempt another coup.

jessamyn: mostly an in joke from meetups, the salient points are that the 10th anniversary meetup here in PDX got called 10.0, and we have so many meetups here that numbering them makes it much easier to reference past meetups.

jessamyn: what idiopath said. The convention is year dot sequential (not calendar) month.
The origin, if I recall: the lovely and talented dersins found and reserved the venue for 10 but ended up not being able to attend. A bunch of us decided that we should have a make-up meeting in his honour.
I think my logic went along the lines of "if we call next one 10.1, it'll sort of be like he never missed 10" or something. I was prettyplougedtired at the time. It just sort of stuck. Kinda like marshmallows.

I like Wednesdays better than Fridays for bar meetups because the bars are less crowded and loud.
I also like Lutoslawski's house, though.
My vote'd be for Bar On Wednesday, or House On Friday, whichever fits schedules better.

I'm cool with that, if that's what people want to do. If it is at the house, I'd prefer it be on Friday, just because of that whole working thing on Thursday. We can hope for dry weather and have a fire out back with the requisite marshmallow roasting.

I make a pretty mean scramble, but I think my girlfriend would wonder why I was cooking breakfast for some guy from the internet.
Oh, and I guess you're vegan, which makes both the egg and cheese portions of my scramble problematic. A pile of mushrooms, while tasty, is not exactly a scramble.

You get a scorecard and head to Jameson Square to watch for suburbanites.
Among the items on the scorecard: identically dressed twins in a doublewide, latte holders, the kid actually pushing the stroller itself, etc.

Yes, but do you assault innocent passer-bys with your kids in strollers? Because that was what I was imagining- someone too busy with their phone and their coffee and their designer clothing and 5" heels and vanity minidog to watch where they're pushing the stroller.
I may have just rolled all the things that bother me about the Pearl into one, and imagined that the strange extremes I see sometimes happen more often than they do. And I don't mind working here, and I think Jamison Park is just fine. But I do think there could be some sort of people spotting/stroller or wild kid dodging game hidden in the situation.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go put in an appearance at American Apparel to refresh my hipster cred.

Well, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I never wear my 5" heels in front of my daughters. Afraid they'll borrow them for dress up, and a size 12 stiletto is not cheap.
I'm with you on the suburban idiot imports, though, believe me. But since I live at 21st and Hoyt, it's the drunken fratboy whoooohooooo throw-cigarette-butts-all-around crowd that bugs me. (St. Patrick's day tonight, Lord help me.)
I think a lot of the designer Pearl crowd actually live there, in post-divorce, empty nest condos, and they're the ones most bugged by the tots, but your jadedness may vary from mine.

msalt: secretariat pretty much nailed it regarding my intent. I lived very very close to Jamison for eight years and actually kinda liked that all these kids (and parents) were out there just enjoying themselves. I was referring more to the Botox Barbies muscling their way in the middle of the sidewalk and then getting pissed off at me for getting hit because they weren't looking.

Usually we do a sort of BYOB/W/L/Snacks thing. So, bring your favorite booze and a snack if you want. Hopefully it won't be raining and we can have some fire time outside.
Also, if you're driving to my house and you have any extra lawn chairs or camping chairs, could you bring them?? I've got a bunch, but I don't know how many folks were gonna have.
Awesome. Can't wait to see you all!

Churl - that would be great if you could bring your chair - but only bring it if it's easy and you're driving. Don't haul it on the bus or anything. And yes, there will be cutting boards, ice, shakers, etc.

Well I'll be there, dammit. Should I bring eggs to the vegan house again?

It turns out my son is leaving town on Monday, so this weekend will be the last chance I have to spend time with him. You guys are great and all, but...family first, y'know. Sorry I'll miss it tonight. But I'm still looking forward to the Enchanted Forest next month. Churl, hoist a Perfect Manhattan for me!

Fun times, as long as I was able to stay anyway. Thanks for hosting, Lutoslawski.

Good time! Thanks for hosting, Lutoslawski. We all were sad that Jessamyn couldn't be there, but carried on anyhow. Great to meet you, ulotrichous.

A good time indeed. I trust there is no photographic record of what a fucking hippie I was. An udu? WTF, me?

Well, better to regret the things we have done, then the things we haven't.
It was nice seeing folks again, and meeting some new faces. I hope my behavior wasn't too strong an example in why I don't drink at most meetups.

Oh man, was there some kind of banditry after we left?

You guys all rock, especially Nothing...and like it, because he's one helluva udu player (he also brought me eggs this morning...fucking awesome). That was a great time as always and I am sufficiently hungover today. Come back again sometime.
(I do hope there's some sort of photographic record.)

Big thanks to Lutoslawski and co. for hosting. It was a outstanding time and it was great to meet all of you! Also, "Let's Just Pretend that David Bowie Wrote this Song" and the melodica-assisted revisioning of "Creep" will be stuck in my head for weeks. In a good way. Thanks again for a wonderful evening!

Great meetup, sorry if I lead anyone to the wrong bus at the wrong time. There is but one bus, and it is always arriving and departing.

We ended up just walking to the convention center. Still alive to tell the tale.

Yes, yes, but is it a tale of violence and death?

That is a tale best saved for 10.7, heh...

geckoinpdx: I like how you nonchalantly describe the experience as "walking".
Secretariat: no worries! Somehow I tend to assume that there is only One True Bus in these circumstances.

things only became more interesting once you arrived at your max stop, spherical... ask me sometime about the potential "interested renter" I came across on the selfsame train home...
