Who's in, and when's good for you?
I'm in, but fuck if I know when's good. Right now I've got sundays and mondays off, but there's a chance I'll be going back out to sea at the start of May.
Sundays and Mondays are both good for me... wanna try to do it on the 17th or 18th?
Sounds good! You got a "where" in mind yet?

Sounds good! You got a "where" in mind yet?
Thinking either the same place as last time (killer burgers!) or The Alleyway on Alberta (decent cheap burgers)?
Obviously my vote is for the Slingshot Lounge since it means I can get as drunk as I want and stumble home, but I'm pretty much down for any program.
also, if we do it on Sunday at the Slingshot we can all invade Devil's Point afterward for Stripperaoke.
I'm down with it! I PM'd EOT to check out this thread; hopefully he can join the fun.
I work sunday, but I'd definitely start earlier to be able to make this, even if a bit late.
Sunday works better for me, but if you twist my arm I could make it Monday too.

YOU
still got a job? :)
SUNDAYS & MONDAYS
are totally good for me.
Surprisingly, Sundays are perfect for me AND the girlfriend. I have school from noon to 10 pm on Mondays tho.
This Sunday I'm moving the rest of my shit out of the old apt, tho. Having made good with the landlord, which lead to getting the new place, we've learned from her that one of the 2 neighbors below us is probably cooking meth in their apt. :x
ALRIGHT BITCHES! Sunday the 17th it is. What time works for alla y'all? EOT, we can carpool if you want.
IF
ech is in town for this, i should throw out there that the alleyway bar has metal night (metal head dj's) starting at 9pm and for bar food, good stuff. just sayin.
AND
then i can stumble/ be dragged home afterwards.
The Alleyway IS more convenient for me, as well as cheaper. Metal Night isn't much of a draw for me, but the heated outdoor area and big picnic tables are.
If we can agree on time & location, I'll also post an invite on Facebook & see if we can get Brainwash and some of his spag posse in on it.
If the Brainwash crew will be there I think this meeting qualifies for a witty title.
I'll come hang and meet all you weird people from the internet if I'm not working at the time. That's kind of up in the air for now.
If nobody else chimes in with a preference for place and time, I'm just going to pick one.
The Alleyway: NE 24th & Alberta. Decent cheap burgers, nachos, sweet potato fries, metal night, good beer.
The Slingshot: SE 55th & Foster. FUCKING SUPERB burgers, substantial sandwich menu, good beer.
You know my vote, but I imagine I can find my way to NE Alberta if Democracy has it's way with me. :lulz:

Do you, or anyone but EOT & ECH, have a preference about WHEN and WHERE?
TIEBREAKER, SOMEONE???
I'm down with cheaper eats. Alleyway?
ETA: Oh on the 17, my girl is in from out of town. Y'all don't mind if she tags along?

Bring her! The more the merrier!
We have 2 for the Alleyway, 1 for the Slingshot, and 1 on the fence (that's me. I love those fucking burgers, but the Alleyway IS more convenient; I'm ambivalent)
ANYONE ELSE? WHAT FUCKING TIME IS GOOD? I can start early or late, I'm free all day. I am going to call it 6:00pm unless anyone else has a preference.
Hard to see that far into the future, but 6:00 sounds about right.
I don't know either of these places so I'm no help, I'm afraid.
OK, so 6:00 on Sunday the 17th at the Alleyway, unless anyone else has any feedback on either time or location. I'll post it on Facebook this evening, pending changes.
I won't be held responsible for my subsequent behavior on TriMet. :lulz:

I've convinced two of my friends from Maine who just moved here to come hang out on Sunday.
Of course, I did not tell them what they were getting into, nor do they know anything about PD.com.
:lulz:
My girl and I should make it, pending babysitting arrangements.
Whooooooo!
I still have a job don't ask me how, so I might not be as insanely punctual as I usually am.

you call yourself a friend.
SO
Nigel, bless her little black heart, came to hang with me at the Alleyway the other night and told me she manhandled this event.
I OUGHT TO
give y'all a heads up that they're having punk bands that afternoon. since we'll be outside it won't effect the hangout much, aside from fresh entertainment from all the crusty buttflaps. there is a door cover which is always a variable, so be prepared to have punk attitude and tell the guy at the door you're not interested in his annoying gig, give him a buck or maybe donate a canned food item(vegan). just use your jedi mind tricks.
SEE YOU THERE

there isn't really a food donation option, but it would be funny, so keep that in consideration.
ALSO
METAL NIGHT dj's start at 9pm, and everyone attending is required to close the bar. that is all.

So, shitty punk bands early with possible door charge, Metal DJ after 9 with unspecified door charge?
Dude, I might have to be fashionably REALLY late.

door for metal night, nigel just had no idea about the punk thing. If you're not gonna show, this whole event is worthless!
Oh, I'm showing. Might just be a bit late so as to avoid most of the punktards.

YES
ECH, you are not understanding this punk thing. You just show up and are like oh hey, this is your ass. I am not paying for your ass, I am handing it to you and going in.
Also, explaining to them that they are so lucky you are there even though they have inconvenienced your evening.
Hmm, I hadn't thought about it like that. :lulz:
I am in favor of your idea.
Okay, fun as meeting you guys would probably be, I probably won't make this one. I'm out in Beaverton and carless at the moment, and the Max just doesn't run late enough on Sunday for me to get home without leaving way early. It'd be nice if we had 24/7 public transit like a real city.

letting sensibility get the best of you, fight it , man! we'll need all the spags we can get for this one!
AND
saw the bartender on the bus today, she says punk thing ought to be done with by 7-7:30 ish, so they can't really charge anything by the time we all arrive, it starts at 3
AND
WWWWWHHHHIIIIISSSSSKKKKEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent!
Balls. Not going to be able to make it. Don't have a sitter, and my girl caught an ear infection last night @ work, and is currently a crumbled whimpering ball of pain pressing a warm towel to her head.
Sorry Spags.
Aw man. :(
:(
Should we reschedule this thing?
I'm heading over shortly... At the very least, me, EOT, ECH, and I think Siggy & Sig GF will be there.
I won't be able to make it until 7:30-8ish.
But I will be bringing an offering friend.
Cool!
Sorry everyone, turns out I won't be able to make it, something* came up.
*3119 miles
LOL
I'm gonna pee and then I'm heading over
I'm bringing a can of corn for the door.
I should be there around 7-730.
I'm totally for having another meetup later on. Hope you spags have fun!
It was fucking great
I got plastered!
Also groped by EOT's friend who I thought was gay until recently. Luckily, I was in the mood to be groped.
Man those $6 nachos rock. I want some more.
JSEUS FUKC
nothing like 8 hours at the bar on a sunday night. it was great meeting all you spags and seeing a few of you again - it was hella fun! very cool to meat the friends and significant others everyone brought/ invited.
DEAR MRS. ECH
you are the man. and you should be incarcerated.
I'm still thinking about the incredible hug I got from Nigel. :)
I had a great time. I really enjoyed everyone's company. Even the bartender at the Alleyway was notably cool.

Dude, that guy was fucking hilarious! I hope he and I didn't cause irreparable harm to Siggy's budding relationship with the "it's cool, the bad taco bell beef will just lube up the chute for all those nachos you're gonna stick in your ass later anyway" conversation. Hopefully, her air of politely amused friendly tolerance wasn't just an act.

Yeah, he's rad!
Also, I got a good vibe from the SigGF. I liked her, and I think she took all the raunch like a champ, and in fact offered a little of her own to season the pot.
Yeah, I didn't really get to talk to her since we were on opposite corners of the tables but she seemed like she wasn't put off by us at all and that's definitely a good sign.
As promised, here are my horrendous photos (taken without a flash to avoid annoying everyone):

You're welcome. :)
Yeah, everybody there was wicked cool! And I think Trainwreck's old lady was the first white girl with dreds I've ever found attractive. Though the leopard print jacket might have had alot to do with that.
I was also pretty impressed with my friends who are recent transplants from eastern Maine. I thought I was kind of throwing them into the fire by inviting them but they were totally down with the vibe right from the get-go.
I'm so jealous, you guys are so lucky to be close like that. The east coast group is lucky as well. :sad:
I guess it would've helped if I had labeled them from the get go....
Also, I almost forgot, I got a pic of Trainwreck's girlfriend Luna (and I definitely agree with ECH, she's pretty, though you might not be able to tell from the horrid picture quality):

We really are some lucky bastards! It was a fun group. And Luna really is a pretty thing! (I'm sure our Luna is also pretty, but I've never seen her face. :) )

BUMPing to remind myself to set aside time in June or July to inflict my presence on the PDXspags.
YESSSSSSS
Only problem is date night is on the weekend AND my GF works mornings both Sat and Sun.
Piece of advice?
If you're coming to visit PDX from out-of-town for a weekend, don't bring your girlfriend.
No matter HOW awesome she is, you'll have a better time flying solo. At least the first time you come here.
And don't give me a list of "buts". Everyone does, and they always realize I was right by Sunday morning.
Though really, you should stay until Monday morning so we can go hit Devil's Point for Stripparaoke on Sunday night.

I'd have to wait for a 4 day weekend, or suck up enough to get a 4day pass, but sounds interesting.
