Any Northwest Swankers? [Archive]

Hmmm, that title does not sound quite right.

Anyway, what I am wondering is if there are any Lounge of Tomorrow members located in WA, OR, ID, or south BC? Some of the other NW Disney groups want to meet up and if there are any LoT members up here, I want to be sure to invite them once we get more details together. Just post here and I will keep you in mind.

There are a bunch of us, and as often as we've talked about a northwest swanking, we've never gotten together.

That's because WB lives there. No one wants to meet with WB. She's scary.

Let me know when there's a Midwest LoT meet. :l

(Is there even anyone else from the Midwest on this board? :confused: )

Glad to see there are some of us. I will keep everyone in mind. We do have Micechat meets up here every few months. Next one will likely be for "UP". I will keep you all informed. Like I said there is also a major Disney meet in the early planning stages. This could be a very Disney summer up here.

I am from Portland, Oregon((Home of the NW's one and only NBA franchise;) )

One of these days I'll make a meet MB.....it's just that I work 6 days a week so it's tough to find the time.

In the meantime, keep the pm invites coming over on that other board:)

I'm not that far north. I was just briefly in Seattle last year for work. I'm a Californian, which is why I've only heard about your baked delicacies and haven't actually sampled them!

Ok. That makes sense. I was wondering how you new about them.
List corrected. Be sure to visit sometime when everyone is getting together and have some baked goods.

SO:

The Lashpair will be in Portland Airport on a layover 11th April from 9:10am to 11:00am. Who can meet us for brunch?

I know Cirquelover should be able to, but are any others in the list close? (I didn't even study USA Geography at school, sorry...) We'd love to spend a few quality hours getting to know you all better (and letting you all laugh at our accents).

Wendybeth, you're excused ;)

lashbear

Yes,

We'll be arriving in Seattle Airport 12:40 and departing 3:50pm on Thurs 9th April.

Enough time for Luncheon and/or a quick trip up the worlds fair needle thingy?

Actually, with the needle being 12 1/2 miles away from the airport, I don't think so !!

Invitations for luncheon at the Airport are still open !! :D

If the wind is blowing from the West your plane will fly right over my house about 50 seconds before landing.............I normally work Saturdays but maybe I'll take the morning off to meet the bear from down under.

SO:wrong thread

That sounds so final.

Pirate Bill

Less than two hours is a relatively short layover. Any meetings should be inside the terminal.

Good point.

PDX is a relatively small airport so it's a short walk in and out of the terminal, but if we don't have boarding passes we can't get through security, and the Lashpair would risk a late boarding if they have to go back through security. And if PDX is their first stop in the US and A then they'll be delayed at customs. Hmmmm...

lashbear

03-09-2009, 03:08 PM

Not the first stop, so that's OK.

We have security getting-through down to a fine art now, however we still agree that Bruncheon should be at one of the fine dining establishments (yeah, right) in the Airport.

Don't forget, it's the USA ans everything seems wonderous to us Aussies. It's all good !!

Hey folks,

I have teased about this for awhile now and now the website for the event is active. Here is a link.

Pacific Northwest Mouse Meet (http://www.pnwmousemeet.com/)

We are talking about an Annual Disney Convention. I will start a thread in the meets lounge once the date is official. The site is small right now, more a teaser. So bookmark it when you can.

The plan is to have guest speakers, pin trading, Disneyana Sales, activities for the kids and more. So spread the word. The more people, the better the event will be.

This is not solely a Lounge of Tomorrow event, but an event to bring all the NW Disney fans together, no matter what website they visit. With any luck I will be able to meet my fellow NW swankers.

Melonballer

03-23-2009, 01:10 AM

ozron

03-23-2009, 07:49 AM

Okay, a date is a good start.

How about a location?

I'll be in the middle of the run of Evita, so if it's not close to PDX, I'm out.
