Hope Rides Alone into PDX September 1, 2010 12:23 PM Subscribe
Impromptu Meetup? MetaFilter Approved rock opera-ers The Protomen performing a last-minute-announced show in Portland.
Enough PDX fans to warrant a meetup? I'd hate to be the only person there spazzing out like the Jim Steinman obsessed fan of theatrical rock and the spectacle of The Protomen's live show, but I fear there are few 21+ fans of the band in the area. I hope to be proven wrong.

My bad.. haven't been checked up on MetaProtocol in a while.. Mod's move or delete if felt necessary..

"I could be wrong, but I think all proposed meetups are going in IRL now."
Where they fester, unconfirmed.

Both meetups you linked to were confirmed within 7 days of the post being opened. Seems OK to me.

I'm on the wrong coast for a PDX meetup, but I'd just like to agree that the Protomen are fucking awesome.

There's also a non-MeFi meetup brewing that you could crash.

I don't know how last-minute this really is, as I've had tickets to it for a couple weeks. Their email list mentioned it a while back.
I'm going, by the way - not wasting the tickets!

Argh. Protomen are awesome, and they're finally on the West Coast in range. Then it turns out to be an age-locked venue. A shame. Bring out the army for me.
