Cornelius Roadhouse is near Hillsboro (HIO). It would be a much longer trek from PDX. Edgefield is very close to TTD, basically the same thing as Cornelius Roadhouse. Different old building, same menu.

I'm fine with whatever you guys want to do. Either way we'll have to shuttle those flying in. If flying in, I'd recommend planning on a hotel or something. Not drinking and flying homenear dusk (4:15pm) doesn't sound smart.

Rob's shop pros: Private, no kids screaming, cool stuff to look at. Passing out drunk probably has less severe consequences than if done at restaurant.

Rob's shop cons: We have to cook our own meals and do our own dishes, booze selection probably narrower. Booze cheaper when you don't have to pay someone to serve you.


Your the big guy on this on this one Z. Look at the poll. Make the call so guys can start planning. Only 8 days to go. I'll be where ever you decide.

Cheers...Rob

Ok, Rob's shop it is. BYOBooze if you're picky. Shall we get started at 2pm? Rob do you have a grill? I can bring my deep fryer which is still full of peanut oil from Thanksgiving. Bring a thick filet of your choice and I'll turn it into fish and chips.

My apologies, it just seemed like to me that the 10th was proposed but not decided upon. Refer to post #8 on the first page.

I can't make the 10th guys, perhaps I can make the next event [-o<

Re: Portland, OR BCP holiday dinner

If you got stuff, pictures, video on your laptop or internet to share bring it. I have a HDMI input for the 65" monitor. Someone bring a long HDMI. My long one is in Madras. I have a 4' one here.

If you got a good flying DVD bring it. I got the Big Rocks and Long props and 16R

Cheers...Rob

I'll have the Traeger going, I'll pull the turkey off 1 hour before we eat it so the grill will be open. There is a micro wave and a full size range oven.

I got paper plates, cups and plastic ware. I'll put sandwich sign boards on the street. You can park on the east or west side of the shop.

When we get closer, we will make a shuttle plan for guys who fly.

Good day

Great idea, I'll bring as much of my porn collection as I can on my iPad and plug it into your flatscreen.

Re: Portland, OR BCP holiday dinner

Wish I could make it, but I'll be in the middle of a week long back to back trips so that I can be home for Christmas.

Hey Rob and Zane, I'll be in PDX for 22 hours on the 28th. Thought it might be fun to get together for lunch if you are around and available. PM me.

Matt, I'll be in DEN all day on the 12th. PM me if you can/want to do breakfast/lunch.

Hey piperpainter: lots of floor space up stairs of shop is 1400 sqft with partitions. I got 2 cots. Shop is better than most motels. Image

I'm going to Treager a Turkey and bake a honey ham. Everybody can bring a side dish or bag O ??????
Zane said to start around 2PM so if some want to get home they can. Chow on at 2PM is that right Zane ????

Cheers...Rob
