Kybosh — Sat, 07/05/2008 - 16:37Bump.
Just a reminder, the guild meet up is next weekend. I'd love to see a lot more names on the sign-up sheet.
Karli and I have a free couch to sleep on if anyone needs one. Any of you in the Pacific Northwest area who can find the time to make the trip, please do so. This should be a lot of fun.
Also, if there are any of you who are signed up, and not planning on coming, please remove your names. I'm trying to give my friend a good idea of how many people will be there.
Hope to see lots and lots of you there.

Nellem1 — Thu, 06/26/2008 - 16:54i know im not actually a part of the guild, but i'll look into convincing my fiance to take a trip to portland that night... we'll see if i can pull it off (my guess is that she will have to work until around 10 pm.. so maybe i can come anyway). that is of course, if you guys enjoy good company =P.

Mori and I will be in
Coryni — Tue, 06/24/2008 - 07:11Mori and I will be in Seattle June 29th- July ?11th? We had hopes to drop down and make this event but looks like we will be flying out to Baltimore the day of it :( Bummer to miss out.
Amtrak tickets from Seattle
Amenn — Mon, 06/23/2008 - 18:18Amtrak tickets from Seattle to Portland are 56$ round trip (or were last week, when I booked mine). Unless you've got a major carpool going, that's cheaper than gas, and you don't have to drive.
Also, if there's a couch shortage, we might split a hotel room. Like I said, I'm prepared to pay for one if need be. Alternately, I'm prepared to bribe the owner of the couch I sleep on with the most delicious beer known to mankind:

Torvo — Sun, 06/22/2008 - 23:58I think I should be able to make this! Will see about kidnapping Py/Epat/the other df kids in the Seattle area for a fun weekend in P-Town. Couches/futons/bar room floors would be great!
Alli whereabouts in
Karli — Sun, 06/22/2008 - 07:46Alli whereabouts in Beaverton will you be? A good friend of mine lives off of Hall near downtown and another friend of mine lives just north of the 26/217 junction.
In other news: Kybosh and I will moving over the next few weeks, but should be completely settled by the weekend of the social. We should have a couch/airbed/floor for those that may need it. Our house is blocks away from a stop off the lightrail, which is accessible via both the Portland Airport (actually ends AT the airport) and the Amtrak.
To answer an earlier question, public transit in Portland is fantastic, so I wouldn't use a taxi for things like getting from an airport into downtown. When Ky and I would take a taxi to get home from drinking across town it would usually run us about $25-30. That's a luxury we don't partake in too often cause we think it's pretty expensive, but it's probably a lot more affordable than other big cities. I personally would recommend a car, but do NOT rent it from the airport...the rates are waaaay worse. Try the Enterprise on E. Burnside (near Martin Luther King Blvd); we've rented from them on the fly a few times and have gotten a car for almost $10/day for a weekend.

alas I won't be able to make it. I will be moving into my new apartment on the 10th (woo hoo i'll be in beaverton) and the parents are in town until something like the 15th...run and hide. Hopefully there will be more than one of theses! :D
Toss me on the LFCouch
Derchlon — Fri, 06/13/2008 - 16:57Toss me on the LFCouch list. Hell, I'll even take a spot on carpetted floor if thats all thats available.
Can't afford a Hotel atm, so I can only come if I can crash some place.
I'll look at tickets and
carno — Fri, 06/13/2008 - 16:04I'll look at tickets and update this post with confirmation of couch requirements. It would be great to meet everyone IRL. Are taxis out there expensive or should I bum a ride or rent a car?
LFCouch. I'll spring for
Amenn — Fri, 06/13/2008 - 12:24LFCouch.
I'll spring for a hotel if I have to, but I'd rather not spend the money.
