All hail the almighty moderator!
We are truly not worthy.

Hey, since last time we all assembled somewhere in south portland before heading to Enchanted Forest, do we want to set that as the actual meeting point (and then the fancy "new event near you" notification might work?), since we will probably want to carpool again for the folks who don't have wheels.

I'm still in.
But I am concerned about the lack of interest.

I think it's because this meetup is showing up in the sidebar as turner, or so interested parties don't have a clue about mondor or enchanted forest. I'd suggest memailing the usual suspects about it, in case they missed it.

And maybe add some tags such as Portland, Salem, Enchanted Forest, beer ('cause it'll be involved at some point)....

damn you, HTML!
You didn't listen to my instructions and have thus made me look foolish!
Anyway, I'm hoping more people are interested in this as I'm pretty sure 3 grown men strolling through the park will most certainly set off the "kid-snatcher" alarms of most other adults roaming the grounds.

Gecko-
not a problem on the ride.
Unless you've moved, you're pretty close to me.

Nope, still smoking hookahs with the caterpillar and admiring the cat's grin.
And thanks.

I'm starting to wonder if we should postpone this event.
Thoughts?

One does not simply walk into Mondor, I guess. A reschedule may be the way to go here.

Well, I'm all about a challenge, but I would rather this be a group thing rather than just another weekend.
Three outta three have expressed hesitance; It Is Done. I'll make another post suggestion for next month.

A reschedule is probably for the best.
As of now, it looks like I'll overloaded with homework anyway.

We could still meetup for beers somewhere.
Perhaps to outline our plan of attack?

I'll do what I can but on the eve of my transfer, my soon-to-be former team has decided that being dedicated on-call for the entire weekend would be a great idea. I can't commit but will try...

Haven't a preference, except maybe a good brewpub? There's nothing out where I live besides McMenamins (Edgefield and Highland), which everyone tells me is poo-poo beer, so I'd be pretty interested in visiting something better.

McMenamins has ok beer. Not great, but not Coors* either.
Places in the past have included Green Dragon, Eastburn, Bridgeport Brewpub (in NW), and others I can't recall.
*Sorry Coors, you're an easy target.

I'm skimming through google.com/local for brewpubs. Ever been to Migration Brewing on SE 28th/Glisan?
Also, who'd still be coming to this?

Migration Brewing looks interesting. And it's too far out there.
I would also like to give strong support for the good ol' Green Dragon. They have 50 rotating taps, and most of them are pretty damned good.
Not sure who'll be up for this. We may have to MeMail some of the regulars.

Oops!
I'm freaking tired.
I meant to say that it's NOT too far out there.
In fact, it is a perfectly fine option, if everyone's up for it.

Greg pointed out that green dragon's patio would be ideal on a warm day.

So was this still for today? Same time-ish? Or a bit later in the afternoon?

For time, I'm thinking 5:00 or so.
Since we decided a few days ago to not go to Mondor, I decided to slack off on my studies and get some of them done this afternoon.
I messaged a few folks about the change last night (or was it early this morning?).
Feel free to message any other MeFites and we'll see what kind of turnout we can get.

Patio is full, but we could possibly start a rumble and claim new territory.

No. Beautiful day on the back porch and I appear to have started cooking dinner. Come to think of it, a beer would be good right about now.
