An update from Raycer491, not yet addressing the current winter weather:
"A few things about the upcoming meet this Sunday:
1.1
We will still be meeting at the Columbia River Brewing Company at 3pm this Sunday as planned.
1.2
I’ve been in communication with the Columbia River Brewing Company for the past month. They have a large space available for us, however I *just* found out today that there’s a live Bluegrass band there from 2-5 pm this Sunday. I had spoken to staff a week ago and they had not mentioned this.
1.3
I suggest we reopen the discussion about new venue options. I recommend a new neighborhood, possibly around SE MLK and Grand, if to expand our range while remaining within a mile of the Moon and Sixpence. We can begin this discussion in the comments below.
1.4
We will still return to the patio of the Moon and Sixpence after the weather warms up, probably in May, but earlier is still possible.
2.1
We should be minimal this meet. I advise bringing at most 2 or so plants - no more than you can carry in and out. Please, for this particular get together, we should refrain from oversized Nepenthes or anything that will crowd out space. If the venue is unbearably loud we may find ourselves migrating to a new spot.
I’m sorry about these incessant announcements, moving to a new venue hasn’t been clean and simple. Bear with me!"
Regarding the current snowy conditions - I am still determining if I will be able to attend or not being as I have to drive between 15 and 20 miles to get to the venue and I expect others are in the same boat. It might be mostly over by then, or not. 'Guess we watch to see!
