    If we do end up doing it on the 20th or 21st...would it be possible to make it a daytime event? I'm only in town for a few days and my evenings/nights on those days are already committed to other things. But don't plan around my schedule! just whatever works for the most people!

    Day time would be good for me, since I normally work in the early mornings...also the week after that is going to be really crazy for me...

    daytime on the 20th would be the best bet for me! especially if it is somewhere east of the West Hills... i'll be coming on bike and don't want to have to deal with trimet!

    Where abouts in Portland is everyone located? Might as well think of places to meet up while we decide on a time. My parents are over in SE Portland. Near the popular part of Division/Hawthorne area.

    Yay! So glad this topic has started up again!  I'd love to meet up; either of the days mentioned so far would work for me too.  I live in SE Portland, around Hawthorne/Belmont, but can easily get to downtown as well.  Around my neighborhood, there is a cute little cafe at Belmont and 30th called The Happy Sparrow, owned by the nicest people, and they serve yummy pastry thingies called kolaches... or how about Crema, over by 28th and Burnside?  There's also a nice cafe at 30th and Division called Cafe Palido or something... Just some ideas!

    @July2011bride: You're friends with Danny and Mary?!?  They are soooooo cute and sweet!!!  I love having their shop in my neighborhood!  And those kolaches-- oh.my.gods.... <droool>  Even if we don't meet up there, everyone should give them a visit, wouldn't you agree?  Smile

    @futurebean - Yes, my finance grew up in Texas with Danny. They have known eachother since they were kids! Yes, I just love those kolaches...I just came back from Texas and Happy Sparrow was by far better than anything there! I was so excited to see their place listed on here I just called up Mary to tell her (she did not answer though :)

    I'm out in the metro area/Raleigh Hills. It's easy for me to take trimet or whatever. So from what I am gathering it's the happy sparrow or crema? lol. I haven't heard of those before.

    I've never tried happy sparrow, but I'd be up for that too! I don't think I've ever gone somewhere I don't like on Belmont so I'm sure it will be excellent.

    Have we decided on the 20th or 21st? And what time? It sounds like there are a number of votes for Happy Sparrow...any objections? This should be fun!

    I work late on the 20th, but I'm off by 12:30 on the 21st.

    What about 3 PM at the Happy Sparrow on the 21st? Does that work?

    ETA: Also, does someone have the adress so I can plan the trip with Tri-met?

    Aww, that's too bad... Maybe the next go around at Happy Sparrow!?  Crema is good with me, but I'm open to other suggestions as well... Mother's downtown?  Around 1 on a Sunday maybe they won't be too bad...!

    I'm up for Crema or Mother's. And yea, if we want to do mother's it will definitely have to be in the afternoon. Every time I go there in the morning it is ridiculously packed!

    I will be workking until about 1 on Sunday, but maybe able to meet up afterwards. I can't go Saturday bc I'm going to Davids to try on dresses Laughing.

    I would love to meet up with you all though! IF I can't make it this time then I will definitely be down for a next time! I live in Beaverton, BTW, and there's a great coffee shop here called Java Nation-they are the last remnant of Coffee People that is left, so I support them 100%!

    I'm bumping this since the weekend is getting closer and I know we all have busy schedules...

    I think His Barista, who has spearheaded this meet-up more than once, should make the final decision and just tell us all when and where to meet!!  Smile

    I just saw this thread and would love to join the meet up! I also live in SE Portland, so it would be easy for me to get wherever you all decide. I can meet up on Sunday any time in the afternoon, so just let us know when and where! Also, I vote for Crema over Mother's because of how packed Mother's always is...

    I've been on a trip for a few days! Sorry I missed all this. Glad you were talking while I've been away! How about 2:30 on Sunday at Crema? I'm off at 12:30.  Does anyone have that address? does that work?

    Address for Crema: 2728 SE Ankeny Street (near Burnside)

    2:30 Sunday works for me! See you ladies then! :-) Should I just walk in there and guess who I'm meeting there? LOL this should be interesting.

    Or what if we all wore a certain color? Green, red, purple? So that we could identify?
