Portland, Oregon Meetups

Somehow I overlooked this event tomorrow. I'm leaving it here in case some of you can grab a last minute ticket.
rePLAY:Symphony of Heroes

I remembered this time! We will be there on Saturday.

Cool! I was gonna check to see if anyone wanted to come. My roommate might be around which would mean an extra player. Any games in particular anyone wants to play?

Heading to the double mountain festival in Hood River. Hopefully I can make it to one of these soon.

No worries. Enjoy that festival! I can't imagine you'll feel too bad about missing a board game meetup for that.

I'd hoped to come but have a bum knee right now and it will at best be a game day decision.

If I don't make it, have a good time!

Well, that's a bummer. Hope your knee gets better quickly. Injuries are no fun.

I'll check with my roommate today to see if he's going to be around, Sibrax. If he is, that'll make at least 4 of us which will be plenty for a good board game.

Sounds good! I don't think I've picked up anything new since last time besides Machi Koro, which is sort of a cross between Settlers of Catan and Dominion. Anything you want me to bring? I've got K2, Survive: Escape from Atlantis, Colt Express, Suburbia, Netrunner (which I've yet to figure out), Love Letter, Legendary Showdown... probably some other things I'm forgetting.

If you can bring the cooler again full of your favorites, that would be great! I just talked to my roommate and he'll be here with a couple others at least who are into board gaming.

If anyone else can show up spur of the moment, be sure to come by. We're planning on having cookies and chips/guacamole.

Wife is out of town, and I'm hesitant to bring a 3 y/o to a boardgame get-together.

Have fun, hopefully next time.

Cooler is packed, but we're running a little behind. We'll be there more like 1:30-1:45.

We ended up having a great group of 7 and got in some good games on Saturday. It was great to see you guys, Sibrax!

I updated the OP to show the next meetup which will be on May 9th.

May 9th coming up! We'll be there with a couple new games.

Excellent! I was gonna post about it tomorrow. Anyone else gonna make it? My roommate should probably be around so that'll be at least 4.

Wish I could, family camping trip this weekend.

What are the new games you have? I'll watch some videos so I half know a little bit about them going into it.

So I will be in Portland sometime in June for Monitorama.
Thinging a thing is a possibility.

Just let us know the details, and we can meet up somewhere.

I picked up Sheriff of Nottingham and Camel Up, which I've played and are pretty simple, and Penny Press, which was a Kickstarter that just arrived a couple days ago.

Awesome! I got to try Camel Up recently, and it was fun.

I'd be interested in thinging a thinging thing...possibly.

As for this weekend, I'm trying to finish my deck refinishing project I've left half finished since school cranked back up in September. Weather is getting too nice to have a half finished deck. :/

There should be at least 3 non GWJ people coming, so we'll have plenty of people for board games on Saturday.

That actually looks like a ton of fun. Sadly, I don't think I can get my work to cover one of the 10 $1k tickets they're going to open up tomorrow. Shame that it's already booked up, but I really can't say I'm surprised.

That looks cool! Once you have a tentative idea what day/time you want to do a meetup, let us know, and we'll plan on that. If plans need to change at the last minute, we'll just reschedule as best we can.

I should be able to make it as well. Looking forward to it.

Great!

Running a bit late, but leaving now!

Thanks again for hosting. It was a fun afternoon.

It was really good to see all of you! Thanks for coming. The more I think about it, the more I love Sheriff of Notingham. I may have to pick that up to keep as a house game.

Also, I need to aquire Disney's Robin Hood soundtrack for background music.
