Tue April 24 at 12:45 PM, Violetta

877 SW Taylor St, Portland, OR, USA (Map & Directions)

Might be able to make it. We've got a vet appointment in the slightly earlier morning, so I'll probably be covered in cat hair from cat wrangling.

I am often covered in cat hair and shall not judge you negatively.

oooo I'm in town visiting my boyfriend, we'd love to meet some people. His office is right on the border of the Pearl and Old Town.

I was thinking Violetta at SW Park and Taylor. It's easy to get to, and so long as we have decent weather we can sit outside.

@ ansate - how long are you planning to be in town? We could possibly do a proper meetup one evening or on the weekend.

Violetta looks great, and a reasonable walk for us.

Thanks for thinking of a "proper" meetup, but I'm leaving Wednesday evening and we're pretty booked up. I always keep an eye open for them when I'm out here though!

I haven't been to Violetta before, but that burger picture looks delicious. What time are you thinking? 12:45 is the usual and should work fine for me, barring unforseen delays at the vet.

Ok, it's all set up.

Dang, I was hoping to make it this time but I am totally swamped at work. Have fun!

Sounds like most of the rest of your know each other. I'm wearing my Bears Will Eat You shirt.

Ok. I guess the rest of us look like... internet people. Cortex got his hair cut off and his giant donut taken away a few months ago, so that doesn't work anymore. I did get covered in cat hair at the vet (I guess cats stress-shed) so I'll see if I can find one of my metafilter t-shirts to change into.

I will probably be there a bit early.
Black jacket, grey shirt.

So apparently Violetta is closed until 4:00 pm today.
fiercekitten and I are waiting here.

There are a couple other options.

New plan: we are at Habibi, on Morisson and 10th.
