Greg_Ace's place is the.. the place! Saturday April 7, start showing up around 4PM or so. Bring some potluck-y foods (Greg will probably smoke some meats for us) and/or beverages (fermented or non). Gaming is going to be a mix of One Thousand Blank White Cards and Cards Against Humanity, and maybe even some regular cards.
And who knows what else?!

Going to be headed over to
County Cork tomorrow night for ye olde Irish music around 7 (music is supposed to start ~7:30). Haven't been there for music before, but the food's pretty good and
the beer list is alright. Parking might be a bit iffy, though.

Hi Portland! You are hosting a
TEDx conference at the end of the month. I'll be there, and I'm wondering if anyone else would be and would like to meetup during the day. There's still tickets, so if you haven't heard of or thought of this yet, you might be interested. I'm going because the
Communicatrix is talking, and then I found out
Sugar from the Rumpus would be another speaker, so I'm both thrilled and expecting to cry in public.

It is 2012! It is January! There should be a thing.
The (first decided upon, but we could decide on others, or YOU could, you could just put it out there and see if it'll happen) thing is:
OMSI After Dark, January 25, 6-10 PM.

I'm going to be hosting a week at Helium Comedy Club. Headliners are the Sklar Brothers -- regular guests on ESPN Sports Center, & former hosts of Cheap Seats on ESPN. They've appeared on many TV shows including Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Grey's Anatomy (where they played conjoined twins). Also, they're funny.
(Edited so it doesn't disappear before the last show Saturday)

So
Lutoslawski's leaving town to go do something kind of awesome. He's leaving some time around 6 October or so. I think we should have a beer or four or more to send him on his way. Me, I'm out of town from tomorrow through 29 September, so I'm proposing we get together somewhere (Green Dragon? East Burn?) on the weekend of 30 Sept / 1 Oct / 2 Oct. Are you fuckers in or out?

Update: Tuesday's trivia is on at the
Cruzroom, but we are still trying to find the best "everyone can make it" night / location.
My friend is behind
ShanRock's Triviology and I just had a chance to compete last night at the Cruzroom off Alberta. Which has led me to the conclusion that we might want to try and put together our own Trivia team (or Teams) and compete. Would be a good excuse for a weekly outing.

Just like
the last time MC Frontalot came to town, I'd like to see a healthy turnout of MeFi members in the audience and will buy a ticket for any MeFi member that shows up outside the club by 8pm when we'll go in.

Me and
baniak will be in Portland next month. Even though we here in Chicago consider PDX our IRL rival, we come in peace and want to see how it is possible your city can rival ours in meetups.
So, a BAR CRAWL!

Jon Daly (Jon Stewart, Conan, UCB, SNL)
Solomon Georgio (Seattle)
Don Frost (Portland)
Paul Jay (LA, Biggest Mistake podcast)
Marianne Sierk (LA, Live at Gotham)
Keith Lowell Jensen (famous atheist)
Hosted by Mark Saltveit (Metafilter, palindromes)
Solomon Georgio (lanky, very clever queer Ethiopian Seattlite) and Don Frost (blue collar stream of consciousness improv) are brilliant. I haven't worked with the other comics.
Bridgetown is one of -- if not THE -- best comedy festival(s) in the U.S. 180+ comics in 120+ shows at several venues along Hawthorne Street over several days (April 21-24th, 2011.) Plus long-form improv, sketch and live podcasts. These are the best "comics comics", not necessarily the Seinfelds and Chris Rocks', but some will get famous and all are doing great work right now.
Margaret Cho, Andy Dick, Doug Benson, Oscar Nunez, Jimmy Dore, and Hannibal Buress you might know, but also don't miss Kyle Kinane, Kristen Schaal, Brent Weinbach, Moshe Kasher, Hari Kondabolu, Nick Thune, Auggie Smith, James Adonian, or Don Frost either.
[So as not to be overdo it, I'm editing this first event to cover the show I'm hosting on Thursday night, at 10pm. ]

ATTENTION, PORTLANDERS! Tomorrow night is the first round of Rooftop Comedy and TBS's
National College Comedy Competition. I am a member of Evergreen State College's stand-up comedy team - my comrades and I are traveling south tomorrow to take on PSU at Portland's
Helium Comedy Club!
Tickets are $5. How busy could you possibly be on a Wednesday night? Too busy to come check out a dirt cheap comedy show? Balderdash!

In order to survive the cold damp winters of Portland, I suggest we try to coordinate a midweek game night somewhere around town.

I figure since I consider Thanksgiving to be a great excuse for me to go nuts cooking anyway, I'd see if there are any local Mefites who are - like me - at loose ends family-wise and have no other plans for Turkey Day. My apartment can probably accommodate about 8 people comfortably, but if the response is greater than that and someone has the means (and willingness) to host a larger gathering, that's cool too. We can figure out the exact logistics and time but what I had in mind was an afternoon+early evening potluck sort of thing.

Lutoslawski and I are Mad Blood (so far), a raucous, rockish band in its formative year, donating a show to support our local theatre endeavors. He is a classical composer with a gift for keys; I holler a lot. We are playing in the basement of our home Saturday night!
