[Jack Brunk]

Guys,

Is this a Saturday Sunday show for the public and a Friday day for the industry? Or a three day public show? It's a little confusing on the website.

[sbornia]

I'm coming up. My last two trips to Portland had perfectly sunny weather, so I'm looking forward to seeing if the so-called rain really exists ;-)

Bay Area folks, Southwest has cheap tix from Oakland...

[big shanty]

I'll be there 2/8-2/10. I think Friday is an industry day, but you'll probably want to be around for drinkin'..

[e-RICHIE]

we have a mafia thing happening in the mid 400 row atmo.

[David Kirk]

Mr and Mrs Kirk will be joining the Strong family for the trip.

I'm holding out for the AFCBS - Asian Factory Carbon Bike Show, where each booth shows the same frame in different colors...

I'm not going to the WCHBS (West Coast Handmade Bicycle Show). I'll go when it becomes a national show and comes east of the Mississippi.

You all have fun.

oh yes, I think that's the show for people who have a life,
a regular job, and who actually ride their bikes, right?

I'll be the tall one with the incoherent Hampsten, walking him from exhibit to exhibit, periodically propping him up and issuing the requisite apologies and/or dry cleaning coupons on his behalf.

If one day at the show is enough for you, bring your bike and do this ride on Sunday instead....

Some times I don't agree with the Dr...but often it seems he's right on the mark...

http://www.hitched.co.uk/speeches/jokes/jokes_guide.aspx



I'll be there -- evidently looking for greater happiness. Don't particularly think I'll find it at NAHBS...but you never know. Stranger things have happened. I'll settle for good times with good friends and some gluten free dining. I'll be in town from Thursday afternoon til Monday morning.

I'll be bringing a chaperon.
Be nice to him.
It's not his fault he's an acquaintance of mine (it might be his wife's...).
It IS however his fault he rides a Trek.
Our goal is to change that.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

It's like going to Vegas baby. My luck is there won't be anything in my size to take home.

From discussing with DW, Friday is industry only and Saturday and Sunday are open to the public.

That's what he told me.

Nope. I am flying in and out on my way to Scottsdale, AZ Saturday night. Well, sort of on the way. It'll be a 22 hour stay kind of thing.

Not sure where my brain was, but when I first scanned this it read like this:

So...you're there for the panties.

Sounds like a good time... ;)

[coylifut]

Oh, but from the pictures you two would make such a cute couple!

not all couples live together


friends. i found a new to me restaurant a short cab ride from the venue named mississippi station. great atmosphere, wine list and food. the wife and i had 3 glasses of good champagne and 2 plates between the two of us for $30. oh, and there's a bunch of other places on the street to spill into once done there.

see ya there

[Jack Brunk]

Any chance for a ride with the group on any of the days? Either mountain or road would be cool. If so maybe I'll drive up or bring a bike. Wait my close friend that I'll be staying with has three of my old rides. Forget the driving unless somebody from Socal wants to share gas expenses.

[conorb]

Pardon my ignorance.

I guess he can show up on Friday then. I'll buy the first round. :beer:

I'm in. Bring a cool sloping 55cm top tube frame along and I'll buy the first round.

[petitelilpettit]

I'm trying to convince my boss to let me go that weekend, but he's thinking of going himself, which means that I'll be having to watch the shop. We'll see.

Pettit

[bigtime]

Mississippi Station is great. That whole street had quite a few places within which you can do yourself much harm.

I live $5 from there.

Do it. Do it.

I have to work the weekend of the show and I am sure that I'll much regret missing the event and seeing our friends. Traveling isn't much fun these days, as I experience it--- crowds, delays, etc.---so I wish folks plenty of luck getting to Portland. Hoist a few for me.

jane street is one of my fav areas in the village atmo.

[Mshue]

I'm flying in from Milwaukee and am planning to be at the show Saturday.

[TMB]

I would love to be there.

It is an 8 hour drive ( which is do-able) or a 2 hour flight.

I have spent a lot this year on "Daddy" toys or trips so the thought of another weekend and more $$ on just me - may not go over well.

we'll see.

[coylifut]

Jack I'll take you for a ride. I'll show you where I wrecked your vanilla too. :)

I'd be in for a ride. I'll be coming home from Italy that week so as long as it's not a hammerfest, I'm game. I think Jack is about my size so if he needs additional outer wear, I've got it.

[Ozz]

I'm still trying to sell the idea to the missus.....

I get back from a business trip on Thursday....turning around and taking off for Portland right away didn't go over so well when I broached the subject a couple weeks ago.

"Plan B" is to bring her along for a romantic weekend in Portland....kids stay home...she shops...I visit bike porn central....I'm still working on the presentation.

[bigtime]

FWIW I got an extra space upstairs at my place if anyone needs a non-fancy place to crash whilst in Portland. No making fun of accomodations; theyre free.

I have a 56 Cannondale someone can ride, and if you squint at it just right from afar, looks like a Sachs.

It will take some time though :cool:

Looking forward to it.

See you in February.
