Up for a PDX area meet up - Sunday, February 12, 4pm?
Back in November my work caused a relocation to the PDX area. I've gotten settled in and have started meeting a few folks, but this work thing has been keeping me busy. I realize that I don't know any FTers in the area anymore, and so I figured I would throw it out to the forum and see who might be interested in meeting up?
My thought would be dinner and/or drinks one evening or on a weekend, but my schedule is sort of flexible and I am open to anything. So, who is around the Portland area and up for meeting? Let me know and we can figure out a date and location...

Hi Dan! Welcome to town!
I am happy to meet up for dinner or drinks just about any evening except for Wednesdays. Evenings during the week will need to be after 6pm for me, but weekends are usually flexible.

My sister and I are across the river in Vancouver, but we might be persuaded to cross over. I am now retired, sold my house, and a nomad to use my miles/points and everything I've learned on FT. My sister is also retired. So, we're flexible, except I will start traveling on Jan 11 (several months in Hawaii). Weekends slightly better due to the bridge traffic during the week.
It would be fun to meet other enthusiasts (aka crazy people).

Seattle resident, in transit to/from WAS and LAX on a fairly regular basis, so I'm a definite maybe for airport-area evening meetups (generally not T/W/Th however)

My schedule is a little hectic these days, but I'd also be down for dinner or drinks during an evening, and could likely attend with enough advance notice. I've met PDX based FT'ers on mileage runs in the past, so I know there are others out there, and also others who pass through here from time to time. Just nothing ever organized for a PDX meetup (as far as I know).

When I think "meet up" I think happy hour drinks/nibbles, not grand scale DOs. I'm usually up for the former depending on my class schedule.
OP, just propose a time and date that works for you. Those who can make it will, those who can't will try to catch you next time.

I think we will start with something simple, but maybe planning for next great DO can be started....
I will follow up with a day and location this week, work is a little busy due to our weather out here.

Could always meet up for a beer one night at Berlin on the east side. Decent brews, bring your own food, etc.

I just got transferred to a project in Portland and would be interested in meeting up at a lounge or airport bar sometime. I normally fly AA but looks like only United offers ORD-PDX service compatible with my work schedule.

Since OP hasn't emerged from our snowstorm and offered a date, would anyone object to shooting for 1/30 or 1/31 while we determine a venue?
