Portland, OR get together?

[weav]

So Fezzie announced a Portland, Oregon get together today on the show. I can't make it down tonight, but I'd love to hear about the turn out. Does Ken from Portland post here?

[Badinia]

Ken from Portland posts here once in a blue moon, and I post here twice in a blue moon. Drop me a PM with your email address and I will keep you apprised of future gatherings!

The crowd is currently comprised of people I know already.

[Badinia]

Hey, we got ten people out for drinks, and we're still havin' em!

[hammersavage]

You Portlanders have all the fun!

[led37zep]

This is what happens when I don't listen to the show.


There are more than 3 portland listeners?


I'd love to to join in an Oregon drinking party sometime.

[PanterA]

I hope you get it together, but here's why I cant make it:

It's it's almost 11pm out there, isn't it a little late for double fisting cafe lattes at such a maddening pace?

[RADIO-SHARK]

can you have the party on an Indian reservation? if so, take pics.

[paracetamol flanders]

Hey, we got ten people out for drinks, and we're still havin' em!

The entire population of Portland is 27 people, and 5 of them are man-dogs, so turnout was great.

[Marc with a c]

did ron show up?

[SothothYog]

Shite. I missed it. Make that 4 Portland listeners.

[paracetamol flanders]

did ron show up?

If by "Ron" you mean "2 K's of Juan Valdez dandruff," then yes.

[IcyCalm]

It was better than steak.

I wish I could have made it. I am from Seattle but my parents lived in Portland for years and I would go there often.

[Portland Kurt]

Double IPA. Bad idea on an empty stomache. It was funny though to watch everyone change their beer order when mine came.

Still waiting for Virginia's iPhone pics of the sausage fest.

It was better than steak.

But not better than sausage.

I made the same mistake (empty stomach). Thank for the beer recommendation -- from here on out I will call all hangovers "Kurt" in your honor.

It was great to meet all the new folks, hopefully I wasn't too obnoxious.

[Badinia]

hopefully I wasn't too obnoxious.

I hold out no such hope for myself.

Great meeting new folks!

Umm, the photos look like any group of ridiculously good-looking men having adult beverages. I will post some to the Hive Mind of RF.net tonight.

[hammersavage]

I dig Portlands music scene. I love the Shins, the Decemberists are one of my favorite bands ever, and now I dig a band called the Thermals and lo and behold, they hail from Portland. Keep it up guys!

[Badinia]

Thank you, HammerSavage! We try.

I put pics up, such as they are: http://www.ronfez.net/gallery//showgallery.php/ppuser/20423/cat/500

I didn't get any pics of the dashing Kurt, possibly because I was drunk by the time he got there.

[paracetamol flanders]

Mooch: jealous of yet another American bar masquerading as a UK style pub?

[Joefrazier4th]

can't believe i missed it. let me know about next time, sounds like fun!

[Badinia]

You owe me an email address, shoot me a PM with it! Thaaaaaaaank you.

Dear Portland RF Fans;

I hope you can join us for a drink and shooting some shit about the Best Thing Going Today at the Hungry Tiger, Too, on Thursday Feb 26th, which is also the 15th anniversary of the day that Bill Hicks stepped off the planet to explore the universe.

There's tables in the back room, the group should be easier to find this time- I'll be wearing my awful Ron & Fez t-shirt and hope to meet you there!

Hungry Tiger, Too
207 SE 12th Ave
Thursday, Feb 26th
8:30 Peeyem

Regards, Virginia

Hey, what is that called when you don't do a line of cocaine, you just do a little spoonful?

Anyhoos, hope everyone in Portland comes out!
