Thanks Che for sharing the flyers. The topic of LFNW came up during last evenings meeting. Bellingham, WA is almost in Canada, so it's a bit far for us to drive. I think your idea of a Google "hangout" between both locations (Portland and Bellingham) is a great idea. And we would be willing to drive up to Portland, all though don't know who would be willing to remain in Portland to host us.
Ciao for now Phil.
