What I Need Is a Strong Drink and a Peer Group

Sun November 18 at 4:00 PM, Horse Brass

4534 SE Belmont St, Portland, OR, USA (Map & Directions)

The Green Dragon is a shell of its former self since they rebranded it, but I'm sure something new has popped up we could try. 10 Barrel is generally alright for groups but some days might be harder to get a table than others.

I'm all for finding a new favorite haunt, but I'll also note we haven't been to Horse Brass in ages.

Horse Brass!

Horse Brass could be nice!

Sounds good! Saturdays and Sundays are best for us.

Horse Brass is a good choice. I haven't been out there in an age, and they have a lot of sizeable tables. I think I'd be able to make most non-weeknights other than the 27th. Thursday the 25th would also work, I doubt I'll be working the next day. I might be able to make it for a weeknight thing the week of the 28th if I play my cards right, probably midweek or later would be better. I mostly try not to drink nights before I work these days.

I dunno, I'd probably be open Sundays too if we start early enough.

Sundays and Mondays are the only days I can meet. Except the first Sunday of the month.

So I guess we're looking at Sunday late-afternoon Nov. 11 or 18. Does either of those dates NOT work for anyone?

The 18th is the better of those 2, IMHO.

Any objections to Sunday the 18th?

I like it!

Also, Horse Brass has their EPIC shepherd’s pie available on Sundays.

Plus, the best fish n chips around.

Well shoot, now I'm faced with a dilemma - shepherd's pie, or fish 'n' chips? Hmmmmm.....

This evening's laundry quota has been met and I'm able to be fully-clothed tomorrow therefore I will attend.

How I read ^ that ^ in my mind

I'm very happy to be able to make it to one of these for the first time. I'm not sure how to identify anyone, so just look for the guy with a beard and dark rimmed glasses wearing a raincoat. In Portland.

We're gathering at the long table.

I am filthy from the turkey-wrangling so I will have to miss this. Turkeys are big. Turkeys are strong. And they do not want to be put into dog crates.

Have fun! Happy thanksgiving!
