Hey guys

I just called the hostel and about 3 people have booked. I hope more will come.

Friday night is the annual Trekker's rum apple cider and we are thinking about doing a hot spring tour on the saturday before the party.

Give in put, this year is looking small and cozy.

I'm probably blind but I'm not seeing the info about where the party itself is. Do you have more info on it? Thanks!

Hey

Things are still be finalised but it is looking like a late afternoon to evening deal at a local pub on saturday the 5th of december.

Friday night there will be spiked apple cider at the hostel as usual, and most likely some sort of a trip saturday morning.

Sunday is the weekend market in portland we usually go check out as well.

Hope to see you there

Kathy

Hey all
Due to some changes I will not be able to attend. But if a contingent does get to the party I hope you have a blast.

Hello! Blast from the past checking in on the boards. Hello to all who remember me, and to those who do not! Looks like I'll be making the annual pilgrimage to Portland for the weekend's festivities -- I've heard a rumor BostonBill is coming too! Bill? Any truth there??

cheers,
El Capitán

It is amazing how quickly the year has slipped on by. I was hoping to have visited the Portland area sometime during the spring or summer but it never happened. Some people always ask why I go there in Dec and I usually say because of the warm and friendly people I know/meet there.
See you there Steve!
(and I hope a bunch more)

Hmm... pondering it if I can get a boat in the water.

How are the roads going to be? Saw Mt Hood had snow today...

Zach

Of course you can.
All the roads will be downhill.

...

I was actually pondering more about snow on the roads... might not take a motorcycle if they are nasty. Never having been out that way before, don't know what to expect. Grin.

To tell the truth, Portland got a light snowfall that froze the city up last year. They banned traffic without chains from the freeway. They don't get enough snow to have the equipment to handle any. Still amazed that a couple of inches of snow could cause so many problems.

Damn I would totally come out if it were the next weekend cuz it would be my birthday weekend... again! Cannot make it this weekend, bummer. Have a great time!

BostonBill, when you going to come out and see us in DC?

i wondering who was showing.. this thing is usually planed way beforehand, i was worried that it wasnt going to happen! but it still is so YAY. ive planned to have the weekend off, and you guys know i live in the hostel neighborhood so ill be around

I've updated Trekker's original post with details of the party. Obviously it will be quite a bit smaller than the huge bash we had last year. But that's a good thing in my opinion. This year I may actually get to talk to some people and not be running around all over the place.

Please note: There has been a venue change due to a scheduling conflict with North 45. We'll now be at the Emanon Cafe. It's small & cozy, they have beer, wine & a full bar and food can be ordered off their menu.

i LOVE that pub. should be a fun night!!!!!! and im glad that it will be on a smaller scale.. last year was so much fun, but i felt lost with all those people too!
