Opening night of Portland's Funniest Person contest, with a lot of the strongest competitors -- the ones who already work at Helium as MCs or features, including Metafilter's own msalt, Gabe Dinger, and Shane Torres. This is a dozen comics doing 5-6 minutes sets of their best material. If you tell them you're a friend of Mark, you can get 2 for 1 tickets (2 for $10). If that's still a bit steep, memail msalt as he has a limited number of free tickets, first come first served.

Commonwealth has $4 beers till 7 o'clock. The sun goes down at 8. There is free popcorn and a "cute backdoor area as well" (Yelp).

I am visiting Portland and posted an Ask about where to eat and drink. Come meet me at Novare Res at 9 for beer on the 23rd, if that's not too late in the evening?

SisterHavana and I are coming to New York from (different) faraway locales to audition for Jeopardy! Care to meet us for dinner and (hopefully) triumphant audition stories afterwards? [more inside]

Here in Astoria on May 25th, Mick "Mankind" Foley is going to be doing a public appearance at a gaming center-internet cafe on Steinway Street. Some friends from work wanna go, how about my MeFite buds? Followed by beer drinking somewhere perhaps?

We're sorry, New York. We love you but we just can't live with you. [more inside]

Here goes, with a location that's central to transit & with decent parking. V Lounge by Ala Moana Center. Delicious pizza, cold beer. Residents and visitors come one come all. [more inside]

Let us try and finalize this meetup. I am suggesting Thursday, 30 May and Common Roots on Lyndale and 26th. I realize we have a Wednesday/Thursday split, but Thursday ended up looking best for me. Any further thoughts?

Let's start off June with a bang -- drinks and awesome discussions in Bay View! [more inside]

MeFi-favorite Flying Lotus is playing a hometown show at House of Blues Sunset w/ the always-relaxing Teebs (sample here) and bass virtuoso Thundercat (music sample here, really short bass solo here).

RMH brunch: Dinner is great and all, but brunch is even better. So let's cook brunch for familes of sick kids at Ronald McDonald House in Hyde Park. [more inside]

So someone at the last meetup mentioned camping and then someone mentioned camping with Metafilter and then someone else thought "Yeah, let's do that". So here I am posting a camping meetup. Tent, mostly. With some options. [more inside]
