Oregon/NW chat lounge and hangout planning

Dude is over the river.

I'm new to the forum but I live in the SE Portland area and would be down for a meet. Ground Kontrol might be a good spot (daytime is much more tolerable than at night, when the DJ jams get out of control). Also, the Portland Retro Gaming Expo is coming up on Oct 18-19. That would be a cool spot too.
