CommunityBuzz! - PDX post-banking hours cocktails?

LarryU, ptpinit ... you guys around this week or next? It occurs to me there are quite a few newbies in the area and it would be great to meet up. I'm free on the 20th and 27th ...

Any other PDXers or passers-through?

Absotively. I just wriggled out of an unplanned trip to NY next week so will be in town until October 31.

Count me in too. Just tell me where and when, for either this Fri. or next. FWIW, I'll be out in Lake Oswego this Fri. PM to chat with my new employer!

Let's make it next Friday, the 27th. Is downtown okay with everyone, say 7ish?

Works for me! Just name the place, oh and how I will be able to find you!

I am scheduled for the Crowne Plaze (Lake Oswego, OR) for Fri 10-20-00. Hopefully the booze-n- food goodies are still comp on the Club Level and it is open.

I live about two miles away from there; would you like some visitor(s)? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Maybe we can make the PDX FlyerTalk gathering a weekly thing!

I'm going to be working at Five Centerpointe Drive, I think that's near the Crowne Plaza??

Add me to the party list on 10/27. Downtown is fine with me. Got to warm up for Halloween party http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Its practically across the street! From Centerpointe take Kruse Oaks Blvd and then cross Kruse Way; the Crowne Plaza should be hard to miss. I don't know whether MisterNice will be checking FT before he gets there. Do you think if we call the Crowne Plaza and ask them to page "Mister Nice" that he'll get the message http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Ok guys/girls......I am at the Lake Oswego OR, Crowne Plaza, the Club Floor, room 619. Call 503-624-8400 to get on RSVP list. Comp booze-n-canapés 530 pm-730 pm. I assume I can have a couple of nice FT guests.

You mean, we have to be nice? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Those of the feminine gender may be (nicely) naughty, sir, but YOU must be nice.

Essxjay and ptpinit, we really missed you. MisterNice, WaterGirl and I had the lounge to oursleves and the bartender told us to lock up when we were finished http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Dang! I thought we were having cocktails next Friday. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif Anyone up for drinks on the 27th? I was thinking Wildwood or Higgins or Jake's Grill ...

I think that we still ARE having drinks on the 27th. This was just a little impromptu get-together inspired by the unanticipated appearance of MisterNice in my neighborhood.

Free booze and munchies...who could say no? I had been hoping that you were tracking this thread yesterday. And ptpinit was within easy walking distance.

I think Essxjay was not thinking too clearly after the lowly Clippers beat her beloved Trailblazers. In fact, the lowly Clippers are having a better preseason that the even lowly-er Lakers.

Yeah, I was gunna say newself ... the World Champion Lakers losing to the WIZARDS!!! Now there's something to brag about ... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Although, don't forget that the Wizards are now (partly) owned by none other than Michael Jordan. Maybe they will (eventually) be the next "wunderteam"?? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Only if Mike is on the floor. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif Otherwise, they're just another sub-.500 team.

Sorry kiddo, but that's no trash talkin' ... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

At least we beat the Sonics!

Ess,

That wasn't trash talkin'. You have to care about the team(s) in order to do that & I just haven't been as interested in the NBA since MJ hung up his Nike's once & for all.
A very sad day in the Windy City... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Being from Baltimore originally, there is always Wizards talk/hype going on. The Wizards stink!!! And that is not just from a Baltimoron's perspective (read "hate D.C. teams).

Sorry I missed out on the gathering http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif I was in a hurry to get home after talking shop with my new boss. Hope to make it this Friday--where are we meeting again, and when? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I miss Mike, too. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif But Vince Carter is sure a joy to watch.

Anyway, back to alcohol! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Friday? 7 or 7:30?? (Or you guys can meet earlier and I'll catch up with you ... but it's a late day at the gazette for me).

How about Higgins? They have the best tap selection in town (Guinness is usually on nitro) and, well, I can get there on foot if I'm running late ...

Higgins at 7:00? Sounds good!

ptpinit, LawLord,

7 p.m. Friday at Higgins is a go. I should be there without much ado. I'll try to be at my usual spot at the south end of the bar ... just ask Mike the bartender and he'll point you in the right direction. See you then.

I'll see you all there at 7:00 on Friday.

I will also be there around 7:00. South end of the bar, ask Mike, gotcha....

Correction on Friday night's barkeep at Higgins: it will be the genial Charlie instead of the illustrious Mike. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

See you guys around 7.

It was a real pleasure chatting with everyone last night and I am looking forward to doing it again sometime. And Essxjay, when do you want to check out the Delta lounge? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Agreed, it was good to meet you all! We should have a shindig out in Lake Oswego near LarryU and myself http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

ptpinif, LawLord, LarryU, watergirl,

Great meeting you all! A LakeOz get-together sounds great ...

What an introduction to FT get-togethers! Essxjay, thanks for arranging this -- looking forward to many more!
