Enjoyed seeing you all yesterday. Here are a couple pics,

[swag]

and I hope I get everybody's screen name right:


organism took this pic of (l to r) pdxbarb, Reader Rabbit (giving the finger), Viva_La_Revolution (flashing the peace sign), Trajan, me, and potone.

We took an outside table at the pub because kind of a shitty band started playing inside.

Here's organism and pdxbarb:



By the way, since there were questions about cameras, mine if 4 megapixel, not 400 as I had ridiculously stated. It's a Canon Powershot A520, a model now superseded but probably still available trough Amazon or somebody else. It's pretty good.

Did I get everybody's name right?

Anyway, I had a great time with you all and look forward to doing it again next month if we can. Also, remember that speedoo will be in town from New York for the first Saturday in November, and would like to come have beers with us.

1. Hi there, fellow Oregonians!

:hi:

Wish I could have joined you, but I'm all the way across the state ...

[swag]

2. Maybe we should road-trip out to where you are for a meet-up.

[Straight Shooter]

3. You want to come to the mountains of Eastern Oregon?

Prolly not. I should come out there. I'm itching for a road trip next year. :D

[swag]

6. Where are you, the Wallowas? La Grande?

[Straight Shooter]

8. Oh, you're good.

I'm in Wallowa County, but that's as close as I'll give away in public. ;)

9. Those are gorgeous mountains. Would love to camp and hike there

next summer maybe.

I drove around there quite a bit when I worked with Fish & Wildlife people setting up modems and reporting software for salmon monitoring programs. I hated the job, but loved the scenery.

11. PM me when you and/or your buds plan your trip over this way.

We'll meet and do some hiking, how's that? :D

[Viva_La_Revolution]

4. you should take pics before we are so deep in the cups next time...

we all have glazed looks! :rofl:

[swag]

5. We should have all put our shades on like Trajan.

Anyway, I worked hard for my glazed look.

You think that top shot is good, you should see the close-ups.

[0rganism]

13. Yeah - I was really hammered by picture time

PDXBarb is the only fully-alert one, and that's cos she doesn't drink! (well, alcohol, anyway)

No fair for me to be paired up in a photo with the one person in the group who's completely sober... I want a rematch!

[Reader Rabbit]

7. For the record

Even though I am a bitter misanthrope, the finger was for the Bush Administration, not the picture-taker, my companions, or any of my fellow-DUers!

[swag]

10. Oh, sure. We can take a hint.

[potone]

12. It was great to meet all of you.

It only took me a year to do so. I will try to do better in the future. Up the revolution!
