And they were forced to eat Sir Robin's minstrels, and there was much rejoicing.
NEWER UPDATE:Well, I have returned to Portland as planned and on time which is a miracle given my
history with travel. All is on track for a 3 pm meeting Saturday in
Pioneer Courthouse Square. If you need directions and bus routes, check out http://www.tri-met.org. If anyone who is sure to be there feels like posting a cell # for late comers, that would be excellent as it was most useful
last time. This update will self-unlink in 5 seconds.
NEW UPDATE: Due to a sudden change in plans (cross-index reference to
cataphroses en route below with
jinx) I have been thrust back to NY, where I shall remain until flying out on the 14th.
And you think your life is odd...
UPDATE:I shall be beginning my drive westward in
Danbury, CT, on the morning of August 8th. From the 8th until the 14th, I'll be
incommunicado so you should forward time-sensitive messages to other Portlanders, such as
ideath, and
LordOmar. I may or may not get permanent computer access back until after the
Gathering, but I'll find some computer to stop onto
E2 from.

The Probably
The Possibly
The Out
What
We shall be
celebrating the
glory of summer and my return from
New York, as well as any other celebratory worthy events that are
brought to my attention.
For activities, Lord Omar's suggestions sound excellent, in addition to
Ye Olde Traditionale Powell's Trippe. Late night food is available at the
Roxy, which hopefully still has
moxy.

I shall be returning August 14th (hopefully, assuming no
catastrophe occurs
en route).
August 17-19, 2001 seem to be a good enough weekend. Two weeks should be enough time to recover from
The Loudmouthed E2 Seattle Debauch for those who plan on attending both. Since I'm guessing that I'm not the only not-so-morning person in the E2 crowd, I'm thinking a 3ish meeting time on Saturday in Pioneer Courthouse Square since that seemed to work well
last time. If non-native Portlanders are planning on driving down on the Friday, inform me.
