Meetup at The Abbey!
posted May 19, 2016 4:15 PM   RSS | iCal | +googleCal

Sat June 4 at 5:00 PM, The Abbey Bar
716 NW 21st Ave, Portland, OR, USA (Map & Directions)
We haven't had a PDX-area meetup in a few months. I think we should remedy that.
So, we're going to The Abbey Bar on NW 21st on Saturday, June 4th.

I vote yes. I live in NW so I reccomend the Paymaster or The Abbey but am totally willing to explore other hoods.

I'm in favor.

Sounds good to me.

Inveterate lurkers are always totally welcome!

Yes! We're always delighted to break in meet another Mefite!

I feel like we should try something new. Crazy idea?

The Abbey looks interesting.

Oh hmm! I hadn't heard of them, but you know I'm down with the Belgian beer. Also your link is totes busted, I bet a mod could help.
posted by cortex at 10:12 AM on May 21, 2016


Is this the right link?

Did you have a date in mind? Sometime the weekend of June 4th would be best for me.

How far out do we want to go? There's a swell BBQ joint in Lake Grove that has a huge patio and a bar attached.

Well I mean, if it's swell, how could we not??

(Full disclosure: it's very convenient to my current abode)

Weekend of June 4th would probably work pretty well.

Pine Shed Ribs. . The cornbread is the not-sweet kind with coarse-ground cornmeal in it.

Website reads like massive overhype to me, but the proof is in the pig....

Greg_Ace: but the proof is in the pig....

And the pig is good. Not super smokey, but still super tasty and worth a trip out of the way for most. Plus, their taplist is decent, which I know is important for this group.

Can we agree have huge fights about politics. That way, cortex can get some practice with live-action moderation.

I'm sure he'd be ever so grateful for the exercise.
posted by Greg_Ace at 9:09 PM on May 23, 2016


Does anyone have any opinions between the Abbey or Pineshed?
posted by fiercekitten at 7:28 AM on May 26, 2016


I haven't been to either place, so...no.
posted by Greg_Ace at 8:17 AM on May 26, 2016


I'm pretty explicitly stoked about Abbey.
posted by cortex at 11:16 AM on May 26, 2016


It's official!!! OMG!!!!

I set it for 2:00pm. Is that too early?
posted by nickthetourist at 10:49 PM on May 26, 2016


Yes. I will be at the library at this time.
posted by fiercekitten at 7:22 AM on May 27, 2016


Derp!
Forgot we were busy until 4 or so.
So, I changed it to 5:00pm, although you can certainly show up earlier if you want to.
posted by nickthetourist at 8:50 AM on May 27, 2016


I have never been to one of these. Perhaps I should remedy that?

Do!

This will be my first time coming to an event. It will be nice to meet everyone!

Yay! Looking forward to seeing new faces.
posted by cortex at 9:46 PM on June 1, 2016


Due to the Starlight Parade happening tomorrow evening, I decided that I didn't want to brave the crowds getting into NW. I hope to meet you all another time!
posted by source.decay at 8:48 PM on June 3, 2016


I'll be there!
posted by bendy at 9:40 PM on June 3, 2016


Heading over now!
posted by cortex at 4:43 PM on June 4, 2016


We are heading over.

I'm leaving the house in five minutes, pausing to mail lollusc some keys.
posted by bendy at 4:54 PM on June 4, 2016


I'm here, grabbed a big table.
posted by Greg_Ace at 4:55 PM on June 4, 2016


Keep me posted, I can head over in an hour or so!
posted by fritillary at 5:07 PM on June 4, 2016


haha there are two abbey bars in NW. I am at the other one having a lovely ESB after a thorough tasting session with the bartender. Maybe I'll make it down your way soon.
posted by janell at 5:19 PM on June 4, 2016


Special note: we are the nw 21st location.
posted by nickthetourist at 5:20 PM on June 4, 2016


Yes please do come to the 21st and Irving one; we can't bear a schism.
posted by cortex at 5:22 PM on June 4, 2016


Also, it's bad form to split the party.
posted by nickthetourist at 5:38 PM on June 4, 2016


(we are still here for a bit fwiw)
posted by cortex at 7:00 PM on June 4, 2016


Sorry for leaving early; I was having a blast but I've got a headlight out and I didn't want to risk a ticket driving home in the dark.

Let's do this again soon!

A small delegate moved to the Lucky Lab on 20th and stayed until they kicked us out. We bonded.

That was a lot of fun. Thanks for welcoming me, all!

Sadly, I came down with strep. Another time!

There were no photos at all. Sad face.
