Wednesday Nights

May 6, 2002

Ok.. looks like the Top Score gathering is moving to the West side for a little while.

Question... Where do you want to meet up at?

Meet up around 8pm, have some beverages, and then do some night caching!

I chose 'other' because, despite my recent post about old chicago, i think it should be a place unique to the west side. i mean, c'mon, even SALEM has (or used to have) an 'old chicago,' and chevy's is ubiquitous nowadays as rick from empire glass.

Then again, the only downtown west-side place i can think of is 'mama-mia's,' and i think that place is now defunct.

i don't know. Is there a place within .25 miles of a MAX stop? If so, i say that's the place, no matter what the sleaziness factor is.

Uh.. you know from "sleazy"?

Everything is on the west side compared to you.

One more thing, there are no good bars on the west side. But I'm still looking.

Except I'm thinking more like near-east. I happen to know a cache where we can meet that's a mere 3 blocks from the Hollywood MAX . . .

Hmmm... I think i know that place.

May 7, 2002

Ok.. unique to the west side and on the max...

I know there is a place called Sports Look right at the Hillsboro Central stop...

Let's figure out a good far east side place for next week Again..something on the max would be great...

So has there been a final decision on where to meet and which cache to hit tomorrow night? I'm hoping to be able to join you all this time, baby sleep permitting.

May 7, 2002

I don't think we've got it figured out yet.. heheh

Ok folks... Ignore the poll above.. Where do we want to meet? As for caches to hit, everyone just bring a printout or 2..or 3

I vote for keeping it downtown for now. Its pretty much in the middle for everyone.

Agreed! I like Mayas!

May 8, 2002

Ok... So Maya's tonight at 8...

I'll be down at the arcade around 7:30 if anyone wants to spend a few quarters...

If we want to meet up someplace else next week, let's discuss it tonight

Also.. Bring cache printouts so we know where we're going tonight...

I'll be there.

Now if only someone can figure out how to get a cool cache involving riding the MAX. But i am NOT counting stops between Orenco station and Main street in Gresham!

May 9, 2002

Well, since I dont have internet at my house, and I cant access the forums from work, I still thought this weeks meeting was going to be at Old Chicago over here. NUTS! I was really looking forward to joining y'all this week. Ok, Next week for sure. RATS!

>>Hey TJ. Is your Avator quote an obscure reference to Suicidal Tendancies?? I absolutly loved that song!

Its as BAD as you think, and they ARE out to get you..

May 9, 2002

I've been wondering where you went! I thought either you were dead or got a girlfriend. Why not just pay the $10 a month for an internet provider? I hope you come out to meet us next week. Wednesday is adventure day!

I think last Wednesday was more like decadence and debauchery day.

Anyone into changing venues yet?

May 11, 2002

Thanks fractal and Lauren. I dont have internet or TV at my place because I am easily distracted and I need to finish my yard. I should just have a Geocaching Bar-Be-Que and tell everyone there are caches buired all around my property...

I would say "There is a cache under that patch of weeds!! Dig them out and log it" or "There is a secret message written in my yard!!... use the Geo-lawnmower and discover the message".

Hmmm... maybe that aint such a bad idea.. >

Where do you all want to meet up this week?

I'm always up for someplace different...

Hi Steak!

May 14, 2002

There is a really cheesy bar called the Golden Slipper on a SE 143rd and SE stark that is cool.

May 14, 2002

Looks like it's not too far from the MAX stop @ 148th/Burnside.

All in favor, say "I" or "eye", or "aye"?

-fractal

May 14, 2002

148th? ouch. How about Hollywood?

May 14, 2002

Yeah -- how about everyone doing the Absolutely Cache?

May 14, 2002

This california girl wants to go to Hollywood!

I have a feeling that if we venture past 122nd way, my stock of singles will be seriously depleted, if you know what i mean.

If there's gravity, then how you explain birds!?!

Looks like people have different ideas on a meeting spot. They all sound good but..

Could somebody notify me of the final destination?? I can rarly get into the forums, so I dont want to take a chance of missing this meeting if its in a new place.

My email is soup_r_man@hotmail.com

can you post the destination where everyone is going to meet and at what time. We only have one day left.

May 14, 2002

lydia's in rockwood is right off of Max. So is Tacho's(kareoke sp?) Lydia's is at 188th and burnside. Tacho's is across the street. I could go for the 148th bar. BTW not all of us are bad out here

I don't hang out on the east side, so I don't know what will work best. All sorts of suggestions here, and I'm sure they are all fun...

So.. I'm passing the "choose where to meet" baton over to Oregone this week.

When we all get together, we can pick someone to pick a place next week or whenever...

Ok, Oregone.. Where we goin'?

Wow. I'm honored.

How about this (just stop me if i'm being stupid):

Remember in the days before travel bugs when we had something called "travelling geocaches?" A couple of them recently passed through portland so maybe you remember them. I don't know if those are still allowed, but maybe we could set one up and sorta let someone new "find" it each wednesday. then that person could decide where the next wednesday meeting would be, as long as it was within a half-mile or so of a MAX stop, and as long as they'll still serve fractal margaritas. What do you think?

Oh, and i'm leaning toward absolutely, but give me about a half hour or so and i'll tell y'all for sure.

May 14, 2002

Ok, I'm choosing absolutely because it's still pretty close-in for the west-siders and because maybe it will lure some of the far-east-siders. Also, you have to do a little geocaching to get there. If you haven't done this cache yet, you can check it out here. It's a fun one and shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. And now you get an extra leg to the hunt. It's called "find oregone."

Okay? 8 o'clock good?

May 14, 2002

I will have no way of figuring out where the final coordinates lead me to without a gps. So it looks like I am out for this wednesday. When there is a location with a specific address then I will be able to attend.

Have fun and dont drink too much.

I have a feeling that there will be a few people wandering around with a GPS around 7:30ish.

Just look for one of us

you can find almost exactly where the initial coordinates will take you with mapquest. i'll bet you'll see other geocachers there, as fractal said. it's a pretty small area.

1. When you print the cache page, look at it before you take off. If the right side is cut off, print it again in landscape. The graphic sometimes messes with the margins.

2. If you can't put your hand on the white railing I mention, you're not in the right place.

3. Here's the starting point from MapQuest. You can even get an aerial shot.

p.s. I e-mailed the info to soup.
