***CONFIRMED*** 11/14 Portland Oregon (PDX) ATOT Meet! RSVP!

RagingBITCH will be on a flight arriving in PDX shortly after noon. He should be given a warm Oregon welcome! Well, besides the "welcome to Oregon, now go home" speech. 😛 Who would be interested in going? I'd be interested in talking directly with someone who may be coming from the Hillsboro area.

We could do lunch at a pizza place like the last two PDX meets! Both were successes, thanks to RossMAN's suggestions on where to go -even though the bastard didn't actually show up, himself. 😉

Well? Who might be able to make it?

<UPDATE>
RagingBITCH's plane touches down at 12pm and is in town until Thursday morning. However, Sunday night is the best night to meet because "work comes first" :thumbsup:

UPDATE 11/11
The people who are actually talking about it have seemed to decide on McMenamin's in Beaverton. The time is tentatively set for 7pm. If Narzy ever PM'S ME BACK, he'll come and pick me and Bockchow up. Compgeek (who got banned 3 weeks ago for stupid iPod spam) wants to go too, so I'll see if Tim will pick him up too. He lives in Beaverton. 🙂

UPDATE 11/12
Okay, well because it's on such a short notice, we haven't had a lot of time to really plan something extensively thinking through it. Because we're in such close proximity to the actual meet date, Sunday the 14th, I've made a few executive decisions.

LOCATION:
http://www.mcmenamins.com/index.php?loc=25&amp;id=338

TIME:
19:30 (7:30pm for all you "lesser" minds 😛)

DETAILS:
I just called and they said that they don't take reservations, but there is a party room for rental -for $300. I told her that we'd enjoy the view from a regular set of tables. :laugh:

When you arrive, let the hostess know that you are with Anandtech and ask if anyone else has shown up from our group yet. The first people who arrive need to make sure that they let the hostess know that there will be more arriving from the group and ask to please direct them to the ***OFFICIAL***Anandtech Table***CONFIRMED*** as they arrive. Also, they need to make sure that they're not seated at a table for two or something, but I do not believe that we'll have more than 10 people.

Thanks for everyone's imput so far. Keep it coming!
 
Gregg you know you're still my number one bitch 😉

I'll be arriving in Portland at around noon, checkin at the hotel probably around 1:30ish, assuming I get all my luggage and the car rental goes smooth. I'd definitely love to meet you Oregon'ers Sunday night though, or if you guys wanted, or hang out Sunday, whatever works. (I probably will be short on time Monday - Wednesday, and Thursday is pretty much work only)


Look forward to seeing the Oregon ATOT'ers!

EDIT:


RagingBITCH's hotel

That's where I'm staying at, I might need directions to wherever we're meeting up because I obviously know squat about Oregon. 🙂
 
I'm 5 hours south. It would require large quantities of free food and beer for me to make the drive. That or maybe a LAN party.

Plus, I'm a little afraid of Nik. 😉

EDIT: Actually, it might be fun, but I have to spend the whole weekend studying for a final.

I'm nothing to be afraid of -as long as you don't act like an ass monkey IRL too.

😉 😛

Darn tootin'!! 😀 Swing by and pick up Ed and I :laugh: If I can somehow manage to find $40 and get my carburetor rebuilt and reinstalled before Sunday night, I'd go. But that's not going to happen.

As usual, RossMAN always suggests the best places (that everyone manages to agree on anyway) that the PDX meets are held in. Here's the story:

(11:45:27) FFM Cobalt: I know you're not going to show up
(11:45:33) [RossMAN]: Yep.
(11:45:33) FFM Cobalt: but you're the official place picker
(11:45:34) FFM Cobalt: 😛
(11:45:36) [RossMAN]: already spoke to [RagingBITCH]
(11:45:48) FFM Cobalt: so hurry up and decide for us
(11:45:52) FFM Cobalt: where we going this time, chief?
(11:46:14) [RossMAN]: I have decided it shall be held at
(11:46:16) [RossMAN]: http://www.firesidecoffeelodge.com/
 
Hopefully RagingBITCH can hold similiar ATOT meets in Eugene/Springfield/Corvallis and Seattle areas.
