Portland meetup bump! →[More:]

So we didn't finish discussing when and where in the previous thread, but basically cmonkey and I decided for y'all. Because we're like that.

When: Friday, tomorrow, 7.00 PM.

Where: Greater Trumps, SE 37th and Hawthorne (half a block south of the Bagdad Theater)

Who: bunnies. Nice bunnies. (Loquacious: there will be cute girls there.) (Spiggott, I really think you should make a showing. We don't bite. Unless you want us to.)

I will consider it! I have been sick all goddam week, though, so though I'm on the mend I may not be up to proper meetup hijinks.

There better be more bunnies there than the last meetup, at which only one (myself) was in attendance.

404 - bunnies not found!

Aw, poor pie-bunny! I'll be there, at the very least, I promise!

And cortex, I hope you can make it, even if it's just fer stoppin' by...

Specklet, I remember last time you texted me a physical description of Loquacious so I could ID him if he showed. Also, as far as I know, Loquacious is still under the impression that I'm a cute girl.

posted by pieisexactlythree 18 January | 13:44

Wait! You... aren't?

posted by Specklet 18 January | 14:06

pie = cute, yes. pie = girl, no.

posted by deborah 18 January | 14:06

I am 99.6% certain that I will be there. If I am not there, it is because I was eaten by bears, fell asleep at my desk, or both.

posted by cmonkey 18 January | 14:11

Wow. I had thought all this time that pie was just a really fugly woman.

posted by cortex 18 January | 14:15

Crap! I'm headed out of town tomorrow afternoon so i can't make it! Please drink lots of beer for me!

posted by ramix 18 January | 14:52

Oh shoot, ramix! I was looking forward to seeing you!

Loquacious, you might have to settle for the girl contingency consisting of moi. Oooh, unless MelissaMay comes out!

posted by Specklet 18 January | 15:14

Settle? Well, if that's settling I think I can deal with that.

Grr, not near any trains! Oh well, it's a bus I haven't ridden yet. New scenery ;) I can transfer from the yellow. (I love trimet, i do, i do.)

Does anyone have a floor spot I can crash on? I'm harmless. I basically have to turn around and head home about 8:20-30 to make my crappy CTRAN transfer home otherwise. I can deal with that if need be, and I might anyway 'cause it's coooold outside and I like my very unportable computer and stuff.

Damn..it it was Portland, Maine, I'd be there yesterday

Joe Famous, it is, it's just a reaaaally westerly suburb.

I had an incident with a big ass truck that didn't want to start and we tried push-starting it and I think I overexerted myself, and I'm feeling like I might be coming down with something because of it combine with cold and going grocery shopping and mebbe getting exposed to someone's sicky germs. So I might not be there, but I'll update if I change my mind.

posted by loquacious 19 January | 00:15

Aw, hope you feel up to it!

posted by Specklet 19 January | 17:16

Also, I'd ordinarily be happy to have you crash at my house, but I've got stuff going on tomorrow morning that makes that not possible. But next time, you're welcome to stay at Chez Specklet. Dust bunnies and all.

posted by Specklet 19 January | 17:19

I'm just now waking up. (Granted, I went to sleep at 8am.) I think I fought off the cold with sleep, emergen-c and garlic. I MIGHT be able to make it there for a beer.

posted by loquacious 19 January | 19:35

I think I'm going to try to make it... potentially see y'all at 7.

posted by togdon 19 January | 21:04

I'm so not making it. It's also raining out there on the ice/slush and I'm thinking I'm going to be glad to stay home chilling and staying low energy.

And thanks for the offer of crash-space Specklet. It's mighty helpful/generous. Next time.

posted by loquacious 19 January | 21:35

So what happened? Did everyone flake out except for one person again? ;)

posted by loquacious 20 January | 04:56

We missed you, loquacious! It was me, pie, togdon, squirrel, and hemanhasamullet.

There were many beers, we talked about cars and projectile pooping babies.

Oh yeah.

posted by Specklet 20 January | 05:44

What? No cmonkey!? This was all his idea!

posted by loquacious 20 January | 08:43

No it wasn't, it was specklet's idea originally. I just gave it a helpful push. Something came up, so I had to skip it.

posted by cmonkey 20 January | 15:07

Oh, ok. I stand corrected. I was just trying to direct attention at my damnable laziness at someone else.
