    I'm considering again reaching out to Wheels and invite him to host another Happy Hour. However, prior to doing that, I want to gauge the interest level in here.

    Simple enough....if there's a decent chance that you'd attend such an event, provide a Yay or such here. If I can get at least 15 to 20 yays, I'll shoot him an e-mail and see if he's interested.

    For those who aren't aware of the specifics...using last year as an example, a group of about 30 of us met up at The Claim Jumper in Tualatin. Wheels entertained us by answering a number of questions, engaged in some entertaining/revealing discussion, and shared some laughs with us all. Wheels is about as gracious as you could ever expect. He even brought some swag which was given away during various drawings. It was a whole lot of fun. :cheers:

    The Claim Jumper was gracious, as well, and set up a nice area adjacent to the regular restaurant. They waited food and drink before and after the event...which lasted about an hour.

    Wheels chose the Claim Jumper last year, but he may be interested in another place should we have a HH this year. We can cross that bridge at some point.

    Interested?

    Yes to Wheels but have him bring Kenny Vance. Kenny has some great Blazer stories and isn't limited to say them like Wheels is.

    Is everybody going to be sitting around on their computers, like in last year's photo?

    Or, can I bring in some ladies to make things even more awkward?

    I would go. Just make sure to keep your drink out of his reach.

    How about Fire on the Mountain? All that talk about Fire on the Mountain last week has given me a hankering.
