Day-Glo Pirate Reggae Mini-Golf
posted February 6, 2012 6:42 PM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Sat February 25 at 6:00 PM, Glowing Greens
509 SW Taylor St, Portland, OR, USA (Map & Directions)
A Zeroth-hole cocktail at Kelly's Olympian (426 SW Washington), followed by an evening of mini-golf at Glowing Greens (509 Sw Taylor St).
A round is $9 per person, though it looks like if we decide to go around again it's only another $5 each.
We'll meet first at Kelly's at 6pm and have a beer while everyone arrives, then head to the golf venue as a group around 7-ish. And quite possibly head yet somewhere else afterward.

I'm not opposed to this idea, as long as we find someplace more awesome than Rock Bottom for beers.

We could always beer up over at Tug Boat and then walk the six or seven blocks.

I'd say Kelly's Olympian for happy hour, then we walk over. Or any place that serves distilled spirits, as I am still in the not drinking beer thing.

I will golf your face off.
I dunno, if we start whackin' each other in the head they'll probably kick us out.
Keep the beer/food recommendations coming! Once we settle on the Where, we can discuss the When. What do you think of an evening around the end of February/beginning of March?

My vote is for February, either the 18th or 25th, since those are both Saturdays. And then bowling 2-3 weeks after that.
Also I have about 3 hours to kill around town this Thursday night so if anyone's similarly bored and wants another impromptu pub hangout, lemme know. ;P

Looks like I'll be bowling in March, but not on the 7th-11th.

Unless anyone objects, then, I'll set the date as the 25th at...what, 6pm? We can meet at Tugboat, then head for mini-golf around 7 or so. All in favor? All opposed? Other suggestions?

Sounds like a plan.
Or for mrzarquon's sake, Kelly's?
Kelly's could potentially work out better.
I'm remembering one of the Tugboat meetups (there's been more than 1, right?) it was tough to find tables.

Right, so: Feb. 25, starting at Kelly's Olympian at 6pm, moving to Glowing Greens at 7-ish. Last chance to object or suggest any alternatives before I confirm the date and time on IRL.

And so it is.
I was tempted to reply with something like "Okay, okay, ALRIGHT already!", referring to the repetitive insistence implied by the video; but I was afraid of sounding peevish (which I wasn't) instead of amused (which I was). So instead I'm merely commenting on the fact that I failed to come up with a suitably funny response. C'est la vie.

I should mention I wasn't really insisting on Tugboat as a venue, I was just fondly remembering that IRL thread where we all said "tugboat" over and over.

You tugboat should abandon your tugboat responsibilities and come anyway tugboat.

I would, except that my other responsibilities for that evening are hosting a party at my house. It would look bad if I didn't show up.

Just move it to the glowing greens, they have party packages, and you don't have to clean up after!

I floated the idea, but it sank...like a scuttled tugboat.

Those are some excellent pictures. And oh man, now I wanna jettison my IT career and become a tugboat captain!! (of a non-scuttled boat, of course)

I jettisoned my IT career before it even began which means I could very well end up on a tugboat.

Ooh! Ooh! We could all crew together on the same boat! Michael could even sing sea shanties for us. It'd be jolly good fun. Oh yes, let's do!!

cortex: Okay, but I can only commit to a three hour tour.
While I do think we'd likely be the most useless tugboat crew in the bay, we'd also be having the most fun. Or at least as much fun as one can cram into a 3 hour tour.
Just make sure we don't invite Russell Crowe.

My guess is that you'd end up making at telephone out of a coconut, sleeping in a hammock, and being chased by a man in a bad gorilla suit, Lil' Buddy.

Having now been dragooned into contemplating the concept of a Russel Crowe/Gilligan's Island mashup, I fear it will take a significant amount of liquor to dull the resulting bleak malaise enough for me to sleep at all tonight.

I believe the plan was 6pm at Kelly's, then heading to Glowing Greens about 7pm. I don't really care if we change it, as long as it results in less confusion rather than more.
What time are you going to show up here?
I'll tell you, as soon as you let me know where "here" is.

I think she's requesting a 'heads up' as to when we'll be crashing her party.

Oh, I see. But it's not really "crashing" if she knows we're coming, is it? Is she inviting us, or just trying to figure out when to release the hounds?
