Shout out to the homies - bring back the club?

This sounds like a great idea. I am looking forward to attending.

I ran into Gordon H. and Nick F.  (long term VALVErs)  last month at the antique radio swap meet in Shoreline. I have no current contact info for them. Hopefully they will also see this thread.

Awesome John, it will be great to see you! I hope Gordon and Nick get the word too, as I don't seem to have current contact info either. The emails I sent apparently went to old addresses.

Sounds like a lot of FUN.
I've read and reread all your old news letters. (Valve)
I come up to Portland about once a year, when the sun comes out.

Dan,
I have a friend that knows Gordon, I will ask her to tell him. I have not seen him in a couple years.

[Doc B.]

Thanks, that would be great. If anyone thinks of other old timers we have missed and you know how to contact them, give them a heads up. It would be fun to show the new kids just how weird we used to be.

[cainam]

I'll try to be there.

And by the way, I have never heard of Diana Krall. So of course I had to look. Gee, thanks a bunch. I hope to be over my indigestion by next weekend.

Hey Doc,

Do you think the [currntly, predictions of] this weekend's "Blowmageddon" in western WA will affect the plan to hold this Bot-Do?

thanks,

David

The meteorologists are admitting that they are SWAGing the intensity of the storm as far as I can tell. So I think the best plan for me is to prepare to host a meeting Saturday. If we see a foot of rain, or we have no power, or our building is uprooted and headed for Oz I will do my best to wave everyone off with a post on the forum. If we do have the meeting and you guys get trapped here, well, there is a brewery and winery and a distillery next door. You could get stranded in a worse place.

[caffeinator]

Sounds good; thanks.

Stranded next to a brewery, eh?  Kinda reminds me of the joke about the tragic demise of Paddy McGillicuddy, who perished in an unfortunate distillery accident.  It fell to the foreman to inform the now-widowed Mrs. McGillicuddy.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but it's my sad duty to inform you that Paddy fell in a vat at the brewery today and we couldn't save him."

"Oh, Lord," replies Mrs M, "do you think he suffered?"

"Oh, no, Ma'am," replies the foreman, "he got out three times to go to the bathroom."

some music you like - but no Diana Krall

Overplayed? Pretentious? Arguments break out when she's played like politics or religion?
