Portland OR: Slap & Tickle.
Wednesday, March 7th, 2007 - 4:23pm
I'm game for another round of slap and tickle. Tee-hee.
I'm guessing another Friday evening would work for folks. Some burgers and beer at McMenamins on Broadway again? If people would be interested in a Saturday afternoon thing, BBQ, whatever. I'm game for that as well.
I'm no good for March 20-24, and I'll be heading back to work on April 9th, but I'm pretty sure I'll be on 4-10's so I should be able to zip down for a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday deal.

I read this Portland -or- Slap and Tickle. That's a tough decision.
The opposite of Love is not Hate, it is Fear.
Definitely. Easier last time, it was a smack and fondle.

I'm off the first week of April, that Fri. or Sat. (6th or 7th) would work for me.

The dates should be open for me, pending approval from management.
Most of those dates look manageable for me. Looking forward to it.

Lets shoot for Saturday the 7th, give folks who live further away a better chance of making it. Now the question is venue. Keep it simple with the burgers and beer at McMenamins, or try something else?

Saturday will definitely be better for me now, the parents are treating us for our 1st anniversary to Thurs and Fri night down at Eagle Crest (just north of Bend, OR).
We plan to be back early afternoon on Saturday.
As far as trying something else. Are we thinking of this as a "guy night out" or would everyone be open to spouses being involved. I tossed the idea of having everyone over for a BBQ our place at the wife and she was up for the idea.

I'll try to be there.
I'm out of town playing games that week, otherwise i'd love to be there.

Wow, I remember telling you I'd set this up ages ago, Druidpeak. Thanks for posting it!
April 7th works great for me, I'm planning on it.
We can definitely go to McMenamins Broadway again. I also hear the new McMenamins on Killingsworth--in the old Little Chapel of the Chimes--is really cool. It's bigger, too. Not quite as centrally located, though.
What time? 6? 7?
My wife won't be there, but if anyone else wants to bring an SO or guest, that's totally cool.

We are 2 weeks out, bumping this for a reminder.
I'm cool with the Chapel Pub, my trip got moved back a day so I'm available anytime on Sat.
Now with Xbox Live: Redhwk GWJ
Cool. Shoot for 4pm at the Chapel Pub? I'm still in, but there is the very slight possiblity my brother will visit that weekend. I'd say 10% probability of him visiting.

I'm in, and I believe the Fripper is in too. At least he said we should car pool, so I think we can take that as a confirmation.

Crap, somehow I didn't realize this was the day before Easter. That may be a dealbreaker for me--I may be out of town visiting family. I'll see what I can do to be there, right now things are up in the air.

I have no idea what a "Slap & Tickle" amounts too, but I think I get the gist of it.
The wife and I will be attending a Bird Festival on the 7th, but I hope to make it.

Yeah, I cringed when i realized that this was easter weekend. If it conflicts with too many folks we can always pick another date. Or have another a few months down the line.

So we on or off for tomorrow?
Now with Xbox Live: Redhwk GWJ
I'm still in.
Xbox Live gamertag Druidpeak
I'm still in, too. I just need to decide whether I'm up for riding my bike. (The weather looks like it might turn nasty.)
Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be flying solo.
Now with Xbox Live: Redhwk GWJ
Sorry that I have to bail. I've got a friend's 50th to go to at 7. Have fun folks!
I'm sorry I missed this. Hopefully there is a make up meet soon.

Any chance of another one of these? I've only lived in Portland for the past year or so and have had trouble meeting other gamers in the area.
Ack, double post. Sorry.
I still want to get together. Anyone want to make a serious geek event of it? Because I was actually thinking about seeing if any GWJers wanted see the Transformers flick. Is it still opening July 4? I'll be busy for the holiday, but I think I could catch it on the 5th, 6th, or 7th.
Failing that, we could just get together for food & drinks.

I'd be interested, though I haven't been to a GWJ meetup in Portland before.
I think they are pushing Transformers back to a midnight screening at July 2nd? Yeah, that or drinks sounds interesting...
Anyone else thinks this sounds like a good idea?
Slap and tickles on holiday weekends is not good. Although I really enjoyed meeting MightyMooQuack, and always a pleasure to hang out with RedHwk.
I have the 5th and 6th off, it being a 2 day weekend I'm less likely to come down to Portland, but I can make exceptions for some geekery.

So I'm assuming no Slap and Tickle for the July 4th weekend?
Would a later date work out?
