MeTa post: not maine, oregon, let's meet in portland
I could possibly make it after 9ish, but I don't know if that's not-terribly-late or not.

By the way, do you know what part of SE you'll be in?

MeTa post: PDX Meetup
I'd go for the Green Dragon or the shiny new HUB.

How does one define afternoonish? My house is perilously close to the Green Dragon (yay!) but the 24th is moving into said house day (boo!), so I will definitely need a beer (yay!) but may not be able to get away (boo!) depending on the timing.

We're a big group of internet nerds

Since the Green Dragon has become Mecca to local beer nerds, local internet nerds will blend in pretty well except for skewing slightly younger.

If no MeFi shirt is available, I recommend loudly mentioning Twitter every few minutes. Under no circumstances say "Westvleteren".

Since temp was just at freezing on my lunchtime ride, I put my mileage in for today.

MeTa post: Twofer Tuesday
Fozberry Flops

Sounds like a breakfast cereal. But this lucky Portland bastard will try to attend.

MeTa post: Cyclists do it on two wheels
I had been using GMap Pedometer for a while, but recently I found out about Toporoute. It has an automatic road-following feature that lets you map routes more quickly and the elevation profile is whole lot more readable and informative.

I suggest Roots Brewing, which is only a couple of blocks away from the Lucky Lab has *much* better beer and is, IIRC, smoke free.

Also, I suggest not-Memorial-Day-weekend for the date because I'll be out of town and I've missed the last 3 meetups.
posted to MetaTalk by turbodog at 11:05 AM on April 25, 2006
The Rose & Raindrop would be good for me and it does, indeed, have a metric buttload of taps.

Even though I live just blocks away from the Lucky Lab, it'll be tough for me to break away long enough to join the fun. :( I will try to make if I can.

PS: if the vicinity of the Lucky Lab is OK for the majority, I'd suggest having the next meetup it at Roots Brewing, a few blocks away. Non-smoking and *much* better beer.

The Hedgehouse (saw beer/owners as New Old Lompoc) but with more space and nicer environs would be even better (for May).

There's tons of room in the outside dog area. Dunno how crowded the Lab is on weekends though.

Starting at 5:30 would be perfect for me since I could walk down with the wife and the munchkin.

I'll only be able to drop in earlier in the evening, so don't be fashionably late.

Yeah monju, I wouldn't take I-205 from I-84 to get to the Kennedy School either.

I keed, I keed.

Some crappy better-lit photos here.

It was great to meet ya'll. Sorry you couldn't find us limitedpie, so the next one should be sooner rather than later.

I'm in, as well. Preferably at a booze-dispensing locale.

limitedpie: no worries, 50% of all restaurants in Portland are owned by McMenamins so you were bound to stumble into one.

The Horse Brass or the Hedgehouse maybe?

Does Ground Kontrol have enough seating for a group of 12 to 20?

Does the pub allow minors in the evening?
posted to MetaTalk by turbodog at 10:57 PM on February 22, 2005
The main restaurant at the Kennedy School should be minor & booze friendly.

I haven't been to the Rialto in a while. How smokey is it? Do they have a few tables we could shove together?

So AskMe does or doesn't use Google search via AdSense? I use it for my site and IIRC I have some level of visual control over the results page. And my search box code snippet looked quite different from the AskMe page. Also, with search via AdSense you DO get paid for ad clicks, right?

Here's the link: Google AdSense for search. I don't think that it's been available for very long.
