Is anyone up for a Portland, Oregon Dopefest, maybe mid to late July? We could either hit one of 7,328(at last count) brew pubs, or go potluck. What say you? ---

I don’t know, has the Portsmouth classed up any? I was there a few times a few years ago and it seemed like a dive bar (an unironic one at that) that served food. Their pasta was excellent though. ---

I’d like to come, but I don’t know if I could make it. Once a date has been settled on I should have an idea if I can make it or not. ---

Their pasta was excellent though. All new, not a dive. Am open to other ideas, though. Maybe we can make it a NW Fest and invite the Seattle members. ---

I may be up for it. Depends on the date, of course. If people pm you to say they won’t come if I’m there, I’ll stay home. ::sniff:: ---
