Lol, my house, likely pizza, sometime :shrug: lol... I say we make a 2600 meeting on my back porch :x lol

You think I'd actually drive ALL the way to Portland for Pizza?? 0.o.... You're absolutely right!!! I'll bring the Amp's! >XD

Lol Pizza, an XBox360, and i'm sure i can locate some booze... lol...

BTW, just to clarify for anyone not addicted, I was referring to Amp energy drinks. XD

makes more sense

Well I'm exactly halfway between Portland and Eugene, so the candlelit dinner should clearly be at my house in huge metropolis of Albany. Because there's so much good public transportation into Albany.

Really though, maybe we should actually attend a 2600, then we wouldn't have to care if anyone else shows up. I think last time I went there, I just didn't wait around long enough because I was bored. These sites claim that there was a meeting:

Apparently some other guy was at the meeting too, but also couldn't find the 2600 people. It really is easier to pick out the computer geeks from a mall's food court than it is in a net cafe. The last 2600 I went to where I did find the meeting, there was at least 15 people there for it.

Wow, I sure know how to threadjack.

Do they even have a bus in albany? haha... I generally just drive through while on my way to Newport every so often; i stay long enough to piss on the side of a building then take off again lol...

'eh you're about the only one i'll not detour on a thread hijack lol; i added you to our vip forum if you wanted to talk in there though lol...

I bought and hosted 2600pdx.com at one point, and offered free hosting to the "coordinators", they told me to fuck myself lol...

Their "official" webpage is down, I haven't been able to connect to it for a while lol... I haven't received anything from their "newsletter" in a while either lol... I just tried emailing the "coordinator" and got an email bounce... strange i say...

If I had a reliable way of getting down there and back on a friday night I'd probably go again lol... I know of several people who'd probably show if I got the word out... Mutany anyone? lol

can i be a pirate wench? pretty please

Thought you already where...

Ok, seriously, it sounds like enough people are intersted, we should get together and conspire about something. And Albany sounds like a great idea! I love the wonderful smell that reminds me of a rose bed (that about fifteen rabbid dogs have recently crapped in), but the most.. driving force of Albany is.. hey I could save like a whole months rent in gas! I swear, is $4.36/gal even legal?!

Anyone tell me when/where and what to bring! As once before stated, I'm desparate to see some form of human life that doesn't view technology as a "environmental hazard". I swear there's only hippies in Eugene. Now if only they were hacker hippies (oh wait they are- mention hack here and everyone in unison pulls out their hackeysac and a joint)

Since you guys hate the 2600 meetings, we could always start up a BinRev meeting.

They're typically on the 3rd Friday of each month. I know someone in Portland was doing them a year or two ago, but I'm not sure if they're still active. They were in another coffee shop/internet cafe. So maybe we should pick a place in Portland and start doing them monthly.

And we'll talk about podcasting a LOT at these meetings! (Just trying to stay on topic here...)

Let's do it. I don't know Portland at all, so you pick a place and send me an address to mapquest. What day to start?

Oh and Podcasting... forgot lol. So, has the hardware come in yet Gizmo?

Lol, I'd prefer a mall; possibly a bookstore to meet up at, possibly wander around... We have one of the largest Barnes and Noble's at Clackamas Town Centre... Since you're both out of the area it'd be the closest off of busy roads/freeway/highway, blady bladdy blah...

Lol I haven't ordered it yet; I've been working on where we'll house it and how I'm going to have everything *look*...

I've been meaning to do something with www.dotslashhack.com ...

A mall or whatever is fine with me. Seems like that'd be the easiest place to bring in more people. How about the one that 2600 used to be in? I'll have to search Google some more tonight and make sure the old BinRev meetings actually disbanded.

The 2600 meetings where at several different malls; Lloyd Centre was the first, then Pioneer Place; but neither really have a good bookstore... Borders went out of business, so I don't even think Pioneer HAS a bookstore; and Lloyd Center is filthy...

Clackamas Town Center however was just renovated and has a ton of eateries as well as a gigantic Barnes and is right off of 205
