Trev Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hey, we're passing thru Portland on Friday, Apr. 25 on our way to points south... I think we'll get into town sometime between 10 and 11 am. We're planning a pitstop at Food Fight for road snacks and other assorted cool vegan stuff. We'll also be looking for a good spot for brunch/lunch, preferably close to the same area... suggestions welcome! And if anyone wants to meet up, that'd be cool! It's unfortunately a short visit to PDX because we have a dinner in SF to make the next day. We're headed to Cali for about a week, and may hit up Portland on the way home too - we'll be checking the forum lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Sweet! I was going to be out of town that day, but I think I'll back my trip up to the evening and stick around to hang out! There is a great place to eat called Red and Black Cafe on the same block as Food Fight (note Food Fight moved into the vegan mini mall on SE 12th and Stark). There are 5 vegan businesses on the same block. I'm sure a bunch of us would love to meet up that morning! Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 We'll be at the Red and Black shortly before noon I'm thinking - so stop by if you can! Loveliberate - we'll back in N.Van around May 3. PM me with your details - it'd be great to visit while you're here. You need any vancouver suggestions? Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveliberate Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Sounds good - we should be able to make it Friday. PM sent. Happily it looks like we will be in town at the same time. Vancouver suggestions are very welcome - please share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 It was a great little meet-up! Thanks for coming out Robert, Loveliberate, Lotus and kids! Suz and I enjoyed the lively conversation and the awesome lunch at Red & Black - Red Dragon Salad good! You're a very hospitable crew there! Portland rulez! We're currently holed up in our motel on the beach in Santa Barbara. It was 34 degrees Celsius - sorry don't know faranwhatever - it's hot. It's frickin' nice here. We may not go home. Haven't found any vegan restaurants yet, but Trader Joe's is 5 minutes away so it's alright... If we do decide to go home to the place we affectionately call 'the freezing darkness' we'll be passing back thru portland and we'll give y'all a call! Cheers!

Robert Yeah I missed a call from them last night I think they're leaving tomorrow morning. They didn't leave a # where I could call them, so hopefully they'll try me again - Loveliberate, are you reading this? Anyway, it was a fun little visit to Portland and I'm hoping we can get down there again for a proper visit sometime this summer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
