So, are we still on (Oregon get together)??

Well, my leave of absense was approved.. and Juspar is going to be down this weekend, but my schedule keeps shifting out from under me.. so I'm not exactly sure. :( I want to.

Which day and which time? Had y'all decided?

For me it has to be any day and time except Sunday as that is Father's Day and I will be with my family then. I am unemployed (unless I get a job between now and then - which is possible but not probable) so I can come down Friday and stay over to Monday if I wish. I am also flexible as to place - it can be either Salem or Portland or anywhere in between. I was thinking of a nice Chinese restaurant on Murray Hill near Beaverton, but anywhere if fine with me.
 
Maybe dinner in Portland on Saturday evening would best?

No guarantees.. I'm still waiting to see if my ex sis-in-law is coming in from Chicag.

Saturday evening is fine with me - how about the rest of the crowd?

Anybody home from work yet?

Naudiz - are you still considering coming?

How about you Pacific Blue?

Anybody else?
 
I'm still considering, yeah. If the ride with lickerish works out, I can meet her in Salem. Otherwise, I'll take the train to Portland, and be at the mercy of public transportation, so the more I know about where we're going, the better. :)

Well the weather looks good so far (in fact, it looks like it will be hot), so I will probably be riding my motorcycle or I would offer to ferry you around.
 
I just remembered that this Friday I'm busy until evening, so Saturday is the only day I can make it. Evening works, but if I'm going to take a train back that night, I can't stay out -too- late, especially if I have to bus back to the station from Beaverton. :)

But other than that, I'm good to go.
 
I am bumping this because I am probably leaving for Oregon tomorrow morning. I will PM Pacific Blue because I don't think she saw this and she works, but if nobody in the Portland area wants to come, then it just might make sense to have it in Salem instead.
 
I'm still interested in going, but as Mr. N. pointed out, he's not thrilled about the idea of me wandering around Portland in the middle of the night by myself, and I think he may have a point. Especially going out as far as Beaverton, where the busses don't run as often at night, and if I miss my train, I'm stranded in Portland for the night. If we met somewhere closer to the train station, like China Town, I can walk there, no problem.

If we meet in Salem, or somewhere in Portland not too far from the train station, or if the ride thing pans out, I'm still in. If not, there's always July (yes, I'm still looking for good places in the Eugene area to meet -- I haven't forgotten ;)).

I am sure we will all make sure you don't get stranded wherever we meet. I am most likely taking my bike, but whether I am in Salem or Portland I have access to a car if someone desparately needs transport. I am sure both Licky and Juspar have one too.

If we meet in Salem, or somewhere in Portland not too far from the train station, or if the ride thing pans out, I'm still in. If not, there's always July (yes, I'm still looking for good places in the Eugene area to meet -- I haven't forgotten ;)).
Yes, there is always July, and it seems like this weekend might be inconvenient for some people - Licky is probably busy and stressed, Juspar will probably be there and they just might be too busy. I don't know if PB still wants to or still can come. I forget, when is the thing in July? The weekend of the 13th-14th? If it is that weekend or the weekend before that I am going to be here in the Seattle area. The last two weekends, one or the other I will be down for my and my daughter's birthday.
 
I think we're aiming for the later part of July, either the last weekend or second-to-last. Either of those are good for me. Right now I'm looking at parks. Does anyone have a preference? There are also quite a few good restaurants in the area, too.

Let me know where we end up this weekend. I'm game. I'll reassure Mr. N. there will be no stranding. He worries. One of us has to. :)

I don't know if I can make it all the way down to Eugene on the weekend I am supposed to be with my daughter for her birthday - we'll just have to see how it works out.

As for parks, there are several along the river. The one near downtown is okay (across from the bridges as you come into downtown from I-5), but I think there are better and quieter ones. There is the one up north of town near the McKenzie as I-5 crosses it, but that might be noisy too as the highway is right there. It would be nice to go to one where it is relatively quiet so when can visit without shouting, and good sized shade trees as it might be hot. Beyond the ones I mentioned I can't think of any off-hand.
 
Okay, Pacific Blue is wanting to meet. Licky is this convenient for you still or would you rather wait? Feel free to PM or instead email if you wish at shymcguy@yahoo.com

Anybody else? Clock's a ticking.
 
hmmm...looks like everybody is busy. Saturday would work best for me if we are aiming at a day. I have a girl's night out planned for tomorrow.

hmmm...Shy Tall Guy and a bunch a women.... hmmmm ;)

If Licky comes I am sure Juspar will be there, but it does sound nice. :D
 
So it seems to be on, tentatively at least (it is like herding cats setting these things up :rolleyes: ). If I missed anybody or they missed this, let me know. I am leaving sometime this morning and won't be checking into Lit. once I leave, but you can get ahold of me at shymcguy@yahoo.com.
