I've already discussed a phone tree (See the sticky), now I want to discuss better ways that we can find each other when we DO meet up.

A good idea would be to pick a place that EVERYBODY knows about. Maybe a Max Stop or something. Another idea is for a picket sign with the words "Portland Meet ups!" to attract all of the other members.
'Cause like Mistaken Traveler said, name tags can only be seen from close up.
(You keep up with these ideas, Traveler, I'll have to make you in crew!)

Anyone wanna discuss any ideas for how to make sure we all meet in one spot?

I have some issue with choice of name tags. A bunch of band-aids on your arm with your user name written on them is pretty cool, but I'm not even going to notice them or divine their intended meaning even if I brush past you. I'm talking a large, brightly-colored name tag with the user name written on it in thick black ink: something that catches the eye and is immediately recognizable for what it is.

It was foolish of me to assume that it wouldn't be so crowded at the Saturday Market like I did, or I would have recommended another location to meet at. I apologize; I was also very disappointed in not having had a chance to meet anyone.

I'm going to make a ******** flag, probably from my favorite red flannel that's all tore up and should be on a bench in a garage for when it's time to change the oil. I figure with that and the hat, and not picking a spot that's neck-deep in humans, there should be no reason for people to miss me. Only way I could improve that would be to wear stilts and set my a** on fire. Hmm, I may be able to do that latter one.

No, you may not! *slaps the back of your hand and runs away laughing*

However, I do think we should have a crew member, so that there's more of a chance that a moderator is on at any given moment in time. I will discuss this with Nicole.

*runs back of hand* ouch.
and maybe that person could keep an eye on the forum, and contact people at the meet up if someone mentions they are running late.

All moderators should have each other's numbers, I think. And I came up with an idea for the phone tree.

Nicole's idea, discussed with some members; I just came up with the simplified suggestion because I know how complex matters can unravel.

That's the kind of thing I wore. It was made from a necklace box and had mardigra beads for the chain. You would have noticed it, if my mom would have let me leave the car.
My name was big on there, too.

How in hell could I have seen you if you were in the car? There's no place to park anywhere close to Skidmore Fountain.

That's why I was in the car. Mom was trying to find parking, and we probably drove you guys by several times.
She got pissed off and made us go home because of a lack of parking.
We don't know Portland well. Next time, we're taking the Max.
lol
