I am just so excited about this this will be my 1st b&n holiday party ,Evendoe its a while away buts its something to look forward to after seeing the pictures they sent you I know its gonna be fun

Last year's party will be hard to beat!

I don't know man it is on a Saturday and that usually puts me in the OC for Poker night. Its awfully hard to give up poker night.....But Uncle Static will be there so yeah, I guess I'll try to make it.

Still on the fence :

From Chicago -
Portland = ~$300
London = ~$540

Time in Portland : ~5pm Friday - ~11pm Sunday
Time in London : ~7am Saturday - ~11am Sunday

The additional time in Portland means more beer expenditure.
So I think in the end it's entirely flat.

This is a decision that must be made soon.
Before the flights go up ...
Before the accomodations go away.

Where are people staying in Portland?
HI Hawthorne, HI NW?
BnA HQ Lawn??

excellent ,

I think that I would go to the on gilsan street,because but hanging out on the b&aers lawn sounds like fun as well.but I think that it would be a little bit cold for that. comments anyone???

I can't come...
'salright though.

I should be staying at the Glison Hostel I believe. Haven't thought much more about it yet.

yes i would recommend the glisan hostel, its in a great neighborhood and within walking distance of good bars, and public transportation to downtown. that is where the majority of booties stayed last year.

Airfare is booked. I shall be there.

dangit Im FROM Oregon but my freakin traveling @$$ will be in New Zealand living. Maybe I can come home then go back...riiIIIiiight. Im sure right when peak season is starting my resort job would LOOOVE that. But if I did come...I would deam myself offcial photographer. Get some real good pics out of it. I have anack for gettin the perfect party pics!! Focused and all.

Perfect timing! I will finishing my RTW trip approx two weeks before the party, and my broke a$$ can use the free wine.

Trekker, I'll be landing in Eugene for Turkey Day, and if I'm not already in Portland by the time the party hits you're welcome to ride with me. No guarantees of a ride home though, I might be relocating to Portland.
