It's looking to be around 7.00 pm on Saturday. At least, that's when I think I'm going to be there

I am having dinner with friends who have a toddler who's in bed ideally at 8pmish. The parents might last until 10pmish, longer if they are craving adult attention. 
So, not sure if I we will make it to the Lucky Lab. They might be interested in going---if so---we'll be there earlier and stay as long as we can. Fingers and toes crossed!

I won't be able to make it this year. My first class is on Valentines Day night...so we'll be staying locally. Say hi to all while at the NAHBS. That ride looks like fun! Take lots of picture of the BF'ers and their steeds so we can ooo and ah.
FB is Bow attending?
Hey Easty...that BF shirt looks nice! Is this Max #13?

.No, not Max #13, although I am hoping to pick up my custom painted RED Raleigh mixte from Dr. Deltron whilst down there
.I figured that the t-shirt would make it easy for everyone to find me

My wife Kasia & I will be there for the bike show, the ride, and maybe even the Lucky Lab BF gathering. At some point this weekend we need to find time to sneak over to Powell's Books...

It is totally easy to navigate to/from Powell's to/from the destinations in question. If you need directions or anything, let me know.

I think you are right!
Mr. East Hill might fight you over that bike, but definitely not me!

$18 is cheap for what could be a once in a lifetime experience for many of us!
But, you could always come down to the Lucky Lab for the meet and greet. Where else are you going to get the chance to meet so many of the people behind the usernames ?

I'll be driving down from the Seattle area, staying at the Marriott Residence Inn on Multnomah (just east of the convention center).
What is the best route to bike from the convention center area to the Lucky Lab (for the Worst Day Ride)?

I would think that you might be able to get away without renting a car, depending on where you are staying. Public transportation is pretty good in Portland, although Donna can probably tell you better than I can.

I'm not Donna, but, I know there's the MAX (light rail) that runs from the airport to the convention center area...is it the red line?
https://trimet.org/max/index.htm
Yes, looks that way.

If you take the MAX Red Line, choose your seatmate carefully.
