Originally Posted By goodgirl I can't think of any buffets in town other than Hometown Buffet. Most of the restaurants usually have them for Sunday Brunches. Reataurant Bleu, the restaurant of the Western Culinary Institutue, does a pretty neat buffet once a month. In October its on the 19th.

Originally Posted By gaydsnywitch I can do anytime on Thursday or Friday; whatever works best for everyone else. How about Izzy's? They used to have a decent buffet (it's been awhile since I've been). I am open to other suggestions, and they don't have to be buffets.
Originally Posted By tapdancemom I teach until 7:30 on Thursday, but I can do Friday. Do we want to do Portland or Vancouver or a burb? Thanks for the menu goodgirl, looks like something from Napa Rose, but the prices are much more affordable. Maybe we should pick a day and go for a spot that works best for those attending.
Originally Posted By MissCandice I see how you are GDW. I changed my shift to have weekends off and you want to have a meet on a Thursday which used to be my day off? Fine
Originally Posted By mele I KNOW! I've been looking for any excuse to be in Portland on October 29th (a Saturday). Grrr (I really hope we can alL get together in December this year, too. Last year was so fun!)
Originally Posted By MissCandice Not to go too OT mele, but why do you want to be in Portland on the 29th. Is there a concert there?
Originally Posted By mele Of course. LOL! Brandi's opening up for Shawn Colvin in 2 shows that day. :-D
Originally Posted By gaydsnywitch I said "around" the 26th. I can extend my birthday celebration to the weekend if that works better for most people.
