..if only we had a coolometer.
I would imagine, since we already have 10 attendants, the hosting staff would be happy to set aside a spot for us and direct everybody who asks for the /. party.

McMennamin's is a fake bar...
I have no idea what you are talking about. I'm not married to McMennamin's, but I quite enjoy many of their bars, and especially enjoy the Ringler's Annex.
Berbati's: no, same problem. They are all about pretty people and loud music, so you can't talk to anybody. Embers is a music club for drag queens [barflymag.com].
All of which is why I suggested the McMennamins, which would be much better than any of these. Or the Rogue Public house [rogue.com] where they have micro-brewed sctoch to go with the micro-brewed ale. But please, en

I would prefer somewhere we can chat; this kind of meeting at any kind of club just doesn't make sense.
I'm down with the Rogue ale house, I haven't even been there yet. Bridgeport's pub is a pretty good place. A McMenamin's would be fine too, but nobody's objected to Rogue/Bridgeport yet. Any other voters?

Though now there's a possibility that I may not be able to come after all, I went from perfectly healthy to freaking sick in about 12 hours today.

jgarra23, not sure where you are at this point, but I'll be emailing you. I'm also going to make reservations for "Slashdot" at the proposed time (8 p.m. - 10 p.m) so we have seating.
I don't mean to step on toes, it's just that it's tonight and still up in the air.

I did the Heinlein trick for a while, its a wonder what two pieces of wadded up napkin will do to improve punk music. (The Deschutes Black Butte Porter didn't hurt either.)
Ultimately I did make it to Bridgeport. Nice people. I even managed to Buy Apollo a beer.
It sounds like a mini-consensus that some of us are getting together at the Bridgeport at 8PM again next Tuesday. I'm looking forward to it.

Bridgeport thing Part 1 (Score:2)
The food was not that great. (Hambergers are not best served raw.) The alcohol choices were better than most places. The conversation made it worth going.
I plan to be there for the part 2 party on the 16th.
Change date to reflect upcoming event? (Score:1)
I'm curious if we could commit some sort of mutiny on jgarra23. No disrespect to him, but he's been pretty absent lately, and I don't think we'll get the date/time changed without mutiny. Crispin was a big advocate of the change venue and I believe Apollo was the one who originally proposed the second party idea. I for one would welcome either o

Yeear!
Yeah, only the organizer can change it. He did update it to Bridgeport when I emailed him, but I don't want to have to keep doing that. So, the easy solution is located here [slashdot.org].
All crew of the ship Bridgeport are welcome to jump aboard the new vessel BridgePort #2. Tell all your other mateys of the new party, I hope everybody who couldn't come will be there on Tuesday.
