As far as I can tell, the last meet-up was attended by five people and a polar vortex, which blanketed the upper Midwest with snow (see Bollox Ref's diary) and gave California a lot of rain merely by virtue of being near.

I would like to meet you all and check out Portland as a possible place to live as I am currently a nomad. Perhaps we could arrange a time and place, not too soon, not too far off?
