Where: Rogue Hall (corner of Montgomery and SW Park on PSU campus between Starbucks and Subway)
When: Thursday, June 16th @7PM
Photo Contest: Rose Festival (fun center, dragon boats, fleet week, parades, anything related works) More details on how to participate on the photo contest can be found here

If the weather is nice we will meet on the patio where all the picnic tables are. Just look for the people with camera gear!

Also, for those interested, if nice weather, we'll be organizing a pre-meetup photowalk. Keep your eyes out for more information as the day nears!

I'll be in NH! My step daughter graduates from high school that week - so I'll be 3,000 miles away feeling old and sorry for myself. Have fun!

This sounds fun! Is it just a chance to meet other photographers in Portland?

I think for many people that is the primary reason why people attend the Flickr Meetups. But there are many others like:

1. Show off your brand spanking new camera
2. Drink beer
3. Collect the prize as the photo contest winner
4. Check out one of Don Pyle's amazing handcrafted pinhole cameras
5. Make plans with like minded photogs for photo roadtrip adventures
6. Opportunity to take candids of people at the meetup without getting assaulted.
7. Drink beer

Hmm, I should really go to this, as it's mere blocks from my apartment.

karmagroovy: photo walk idea: there's a west hills (not far from the meet up spot) walk I do sometimes that offers great views of the city.

Huh, I've never done this, and I'll actually be in town that day! I have seen Portland in several months and this sounds like it might be a good way to get reacquainted with the city.

Whoa. I had no idea that Italian restaurant closed. They seemed to always be busy...? Or maybe I just walked by at the right times? Regardless, I'm glad there's a Rogue in my neighborhood! I'll be there!

Photowalk: As long as the weather cooperates, I propose meeting at 5:30 to walk around the area. Let's say we meet at Violetta at Director's Park, then, we can make our way back up towards the Rogue Hall. How's that sound?

I didn't think I'd be able to make it but plans have changed. I'd also be down for the photowalk before. Carie, there's a Pedalpalooza "Tutu Ride" leaving from the Salmon Street Fountain (SW Salmon & Naito) at 6 that could make for some good photos. We could wind our way up from there.

Scott....that sounds awesome. So, see everyone at Director's Park. I'll be basically waiting outside Violetta. We'll wait about 10 mins. before we'll start walking probably. If you need to know where we are at, send me a Flickr mail with your phone number and I'll text or call ya. ;)

Otherwise, see ya at Rogue Hall at 7pm. :)

Wow, this will go down as a meetup to remember! First of all we couldn't have asked for better patio meetup weather to enjoy our Rogue brews. A few minutes after Carie arrives with the photowalk troops, Jake from Flickr shows up with a box full of schwag including cool T-shirts, lens cloths and Pro upgrade coupons.

Jake you rock! :D
Jake from Flickr pays the PDX Group a visit !

Congratulations to Victor Vonsalza on winning the photo contest with his stunning rendition of that cool new ride at the fun center! Unfortunately since Victor couldn't make the meetup we will once again have to roll the prize money (now a whopping total of $19.35) to next month's contest.
