Portland OR Sunday afternoon book & game swap!
posted May 5, 2024 9:00 AM   RSS | iCal | +googleCal

Sun May 19 at 3:00 PM, Hawthorne Asylum Food Cart Pod
1080, Southeast Madison Street, Central Eastside, Buckman, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, 97214, United States (Map & Directions)
In our March meetup thread I promised to organize the next one and make it a book & game swap to boot. Let's keep the same day of the week and time (Sunday, 3-5pm, lingering encouraged!). Confirmed date, time and location! Sunday May 19 2024 MeFi meetup and book/game swap 3-5:30pm (and lingering around!) Hawthorne Asylum Food Cart Pod 1080 SE Madison St. (between 10th & 11th )
No requirement to bring a game or book to swap, but if there's something fun you've decided just isn't your jam, bring it! For example, I would love to rehome the board game Mysterium Park and the game Cat Stax.

Any books that are unclaimed at the end of our meetup will most likely be donated at the Goodwill at 1943 SE 6th Ave or, in the case of board games, to the Scrap Creative Reuse store.

The 19th or 2nd would work for us. I think that somewhere that serves non-vegan food would be better? I had an idea of where, let me see if I can remember.

I'm busy the weekend of June 2 (as well as the following weekend), but either of the May dates work for me.

Rontom's or Stormbreaker Mississippi, assuming we're still looking for patios.

Rontom’s looks interesting to me.

Rontom's has a pitiful beer selection, so Stormbreaker gets my vote.

Another/repeat suggestion (self serving because I live in SW...). Hawthorne Asylum food cart pod has a full bar now.... 42 craft beers on draft. They're located on SE Madison between 10th and 11th. Lots of outdoor but under cover seating.

Also it looks like Sunday May 19th is the preferred date!

I think I should be able to be there -- I've got a training in outer NE that ends at 3, so I might be a touch late, which I assume won't be an issue.

The Asylum sounds good. Both for this meetup, and to avoid the next 6 months of election madness.

ARGH. It's supposed to be 3 pm - 5:30 pm but I am having some weird formatting/form input issues with the address and it won't update the time. Will try again

Yay Sunday afternoon!

Let's meet in the back patio section (covered, open air). Walk past all the food carts, heading to the right, past the restrooms, and then there will be a large covered area with picnic tables. I'll try to get there a bit before 3pm and stack some games on the table as a signpost.
