Portland - would you like to gather to get loaded soon?→[More:]

I am moving far away for real in, like, 6 weeks, and since I will almost certainly never live in Portland again, I would like to say goodbye to all of you in one convenient location by hopping aboard the booze train somewhere. So how about a meetup on Saturday, February 2nd?

Dammit, I'll be so close, but not able to get there in time; it would've been great to see you and the rest of the Portland crew. :(

Where're you moving to?

But we never even met, and what about the sea monkeys? Do they have to swim to a new continent to find you?

Can a new person come? It'd be my first meet-up :)

I promise to toast you for your new endeavors!

I left Portland. Let me tell you, it's a mistake...

Can we change the date so it doesn't conflict with the Seattle meetup? I want to go to both!

posted by Specklet 19 January | 17:04

I'd definitely go to a meetup to see you off, cmonkey. Seconded what Specklet said about the date. I was planning on being in Seattle that weekend.

I am moving to Germany, elizard.

Can a new person come? It'd be my first meet-up :)

Of course!

How about February 16th?

posted by cmonkey 20 January | 03:57

I'd be down, but 16 Feb doesn't work due to parents-in-town-ness. Split the difference and make it 9 Feb?

posted by dersins 20 January | 11:52

Sadly, I am out of town on the 9th. I suppose the 22nd or 23rd would work.

posted by cmonkey 20 January | 12:48

22nd and 23rd both work for me, I'll keep an eye out to see when and where you end up!

Wow, Germany, how cool cmonkey! Are you freelancing, or did you get an awesome job? Congratulations either way!

Vill you bring me babbyicebear?
Vill be loving and dutiful for babbyicebear.
Maybe throw in some weed for good measure.

posted by ethylene 20 January | 22:23

22nd or 23rd would also be good for me...

Good for pi

OK, let's roll with the 22nd, then. How about at the Mash Tun?

posted by cmonkey 22 January | 07:05

Mash Tun would rock, I could walk home from there!

posted by Sil 22 January | 14:08

Mash tun is not so bad. I'd love to be able to suggest East Burn, which just opened near my house and features not only Skee Ball (yes Skee Ball in a bar!) but also slot cars. Unfortunately, I've been in a couple of times and it is chock full of douchebags.

Is that a proposition or just a little tongue?

polar bears are so awesome.

posted by cmonkey 23 January | 12:55

i have always loved watching them float backwards in the water.
Sad that zoos are the only way i ever would get that chance, what with the lack of submerged glassed viewing chambers in the wild.

icebear!
