| Translators in Portland, Oregon | May 23, 2007 |
What about a get-together in Portland, Oregon on July 23? I'll be in town for a couple of days and it would be great to meet translators living in the area.
I'm staying at the Red Lion hotel, across from the Convention Center, and we could meet for lunch or dinner at the hotel or at one of the restaurants at the Lloyd Center.

I look forward to meeting you! ▲ Collapse

It's great to see more people showing some interest! I'm really excited about meeting you and exchanging some ideas about our crazy (but passionate) routines!
Do you have any recommendations as far as venues? I'm staying at the Red Lion hotel and I'll have to count on my two feet for transportation... Does anything in the area come to mind? I know there are some nice restaurants and a mall nearby, but you locals should know a lot more than I do!

Thanks for organizing this meeting, Rafa! It will be so much fun in our beautiful Portland. There are so many places to recommend! My husband would like to attend, too. There will be space for 3 additional persons in our car. NW Portland is gorgeous, so is sitting outdoors at the Marina by the river. Maybe you should start some kind of survey (smokers / non-smokers, local beer and wine / cocktails, local food / exotic)
I am looking forward to meeting colleagues!

Hi, Nicole!
Sure your husband can come! Mine would like to go too, but it will depend on what time we'll meet. To tell you the truth, I'm only going to Portland because he has a Linux convention to go to, so I decided to organize this get-together so I'll have something fun to do as well.

I'd love to hear more ideas. As Virginia told me by email, the public transportation system is great there, so I'll try to look into it depending on at what place we decided to meet. However, I have to tell you guys that I get lost very easily! LOL
Anyway, my ideal place would be a nice, laid-back pub or restaurant where we could sit down to talk, have some drinks, and maybe something to eat without being hurried by waiters. I sure like talking a lot! ... See more I'd love to hear more ideas.

I just googled the location suggested by Nicole and it's pretty much a walking distance from my hotel (5 mins by car.) It sounds perfect, 'cause that's exactly the atmosphere I like. If everybody else agrees, I can call them on Monday or Tuesday and make reservations.
Guys, please confirm that you definitely wanna go grab some lunch at Thistle Restaurant and Pub on Monday. However, if a weekday is not good for you, we can definitely do it on Sunday, July 22nd.

Let me know what you prefer by Monday, July 16th, so I can make arrangements on Tuesday, at the latest.
I'm so looking forward to meeting you guys! ▲ Collapse

Please edit the "Will attend" field on the right to let me know if you're definitely going to attend. If you can, drop by a line here if you intend to bring a friend or spouse. Thanks!

>>> Nicole: FISH AND CHIPS!
>>> Lori: Sunday @ 12pm. If you and your boyfriend show up a little later (1-1:30pm), I bet we'll still be there!
If Sunday is okay with who has confirmed, let's do it so we can get the "maybes" on board as well!
I'll call Rose and T... See more
