It is that time of the month again. The time you come on out and chat with us over a beer and some vittles. This month, we’re going to have 2 meetups. The first one will be May 19th at rontoms in SE Portland. The weather is supposed to be amazing, so we’re gonna camp out on the patio. We’ll spring for some munchies off the happy hour menu, but your drinks are on you. Our second meetup of the month will be May 30 – Wizardboots is playing a show at Kelly’s. More on that as the date approaches.

Join us on the 19th for some great cocktails and even better conversation.

We would like to invite you to our April OurPDX author/reader meetup next Tuesday, April 28th at Voleur in SW Portland.  We’re a good bunch of people and don’t bite, yet I understand some may be sneezing.  We have great conversation and chat about the latest goings on in Portland.  Voleur has a great menu, choice beers and excellent cocktails.  We’ll spring for some vittles for the group, but drinks and any extra food are on you.

Hope to see you there.

We have some new authors that joined our ranks lately, so come on out and meet them too. We’ll host some food stuffs, but drinks are on you. We’ve decided on Blitz Bar in the Ladd’s Edition neighborhood of SE Portland. It is close in on 11th, just south of Hawthorne.

We’d love to see you join us tomorrow night TODAY beginning at 5 pm at the Davis Street Tavern!

RSVP on Upcoming, please…

This just in: we’ll be gathering in the bar area near the couches/end of the bar so we can move around a bit (instead of at a table in the back as previously promised.)

As ever, you’re responsible for your own drinks; we’ll offer up some shared appetizers for all.

We’ll be gathered around a table in the back area of the restaurant — but they’re going to let us order from the Happy Hour menu, hooray!

Last time, we had close to 30 people join us. Could that number grow? Of course — but do RSVP on Upcoming so we know to save a seat for you, ok?

If you’re planning on joining us and haven’t yet RSVP-ed on Upcoming, we’d love to know you’re coming so we know how many sliders to buy!

We’re heading back to The Agency for our monthly OurPDX meetup next Tuesday, and we’d love to have you join us. (RSVP on Upcoming)

This time, I have definite, positive confirmation that we’ll be in the Owner’s Lounge starting at 5 pm that evening. We also know that there will be NO Blazer game this evening. Or major college football bowl games, either.

Why are we making these points? Weeeeellll…we managed to show up last time to a jam-packed full place (Blazers vs. Celtics! Duck bowl game! Woo-hoo!), and didn’t get our Owner’s Lounge room after all. The people at The Agency bent over backwards to squeeze us in anyway (we got to sit at the Talkin’ Ball table), and promised to do right by us if we gave them another chance.

So we compared our calendars, checked sports schedules, ruled out the Obama inauguration day, steered clear of all of those Wednesday events, and finally settled on Tuesday, January 13th.

Join us in the Owner’s Lounge starting at 5 pm for sliders, XBox, Wii, and beer, won’t you?

What happens when you have an instigator with cabin fever also taking time off between Christmas and New Year? Weeelll…it’s likely that a meetup or two will coalesce into being, usually without much notice…

In fact, I threw out the first pitch to the author mailing list a few hours ago, and we already have a plan!

Join us starting at 5 pm at The Agency Ultra Sport Lounge. We have the Owner’s Lounge private room already reserved; some of us will be staying to watch the Blazer/Celtics game here as well. They’ve got Wiis. XBox 360’s. Big screen high definition televisions. Food. Beverages. And more…

Add in our sparkling company, and what else do you need on a Tuesday night, really? (Did I forget to mention that the Blazers are playing the *Celtics*…?)

We originally picked Wednesdays for our meetups because it was convenient for me, me, ME.

And while we’ve had decent turnouts, we’ve also heard from people who said it conflicted with last night’s Portland Web Innovators meeting (which I’m also bummed I missed out on — thanks, Rick for the kind words about OurPDX!) Or WikiWednesdays.

If we’d have waited until next week? We’d have collided with ThrivePDX. Or the latest Back Fence PDX (movin’ on up to the Mission, no less!) Or the monthly PDX Werewolf game.

The week after that? I’m sure it’s crammed full of events. Portlanders seem to like Wednesdays.

OK, OK — we get it. Wednesday may work well for me — but not so well for the rest of you. And we’d probably like to attend some of those cool events as well.

So we’re now calling dibs on Tuesday. We’ll make sure we spread the word on Calagator as well as Upcoming, and will look for ways to encourage new people to join us.

If there’s a way we can make it easier for you to join us, please feel free to give us suggestions in the comments!

Having a hard time re-entering a five-day work-week? Did your Monday start with a bang? (Mine certainly did, ugh*) Then celebrate the middle of the week in style and/or drown your sorrows at the OurPDX meetup on Wednesday, December 2nd at Thatch.

We’ll be there just after 5 pm – which gives you plenty of time to enjoy a drink prior to the Web Innovators meeting at 7 pm at Cubespace, right? Or I’m sure a few of us will be there for a bit longer…

Thatch Tiki Bar
2733 NE Broadway
Portland, Oregon 97253

RSVP on Upcoming so we know to save you a seat, will you?

(* or, more accurately, the sound of what I’m now told must have been a huge rodent thrashing around in a closet in my house, eeeeek! Liberally sprinkled poison down the freshly-gnawed hole he disappeared down; plugged same with steel wool. Will buy drinks in exchange for good exterminator recs…!)
