 CALLING ALL PORTLAND PLAYERS. 21+ yoyo Club
Hello, This is a call out to any and all Throwers, 21 and older, in Portland Oregon. I will be holding a 21+ yoyo club at the Sellwood Public House (8132 Southeast 13th Avenue Portland, OR 97202) Thursday nights from 5-7PM. There are great drinks, awesome staff and fantastic food. Come share and learn with us, have some laughs and perhaps a few drinks. Hope to see you there. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at Jim.ewwhite@gmail.com

 Re: CALLING ALL PORTLAND PLAYERS. 21+ yoyo Club
really? where have you guys been this whole time? pdx yoyo has been meeting downtown for the past five years.
its good to hear your in sellwood. in down lombard near MLK so ill try to make it. the downtown thing ended this year so it will be good to see new throwers in the area. the over 21 thing is especially nice.

 Re: CALLING ALL PORTLAND PLAYERS. 21+ yoyo Club
I Just started yoyoing about a year ago and had heard of pdx yoyo but never heard about a meeting I could go to. After being encouraged by some friends and a local bar owner, I decided I would try this out and see how it goes. REALLY hope to see you there. For the most part I figured it would just be me and my two friends who are just picking the hobby up. Should be good times either way

 Re: CALLING ALL PORTLAND PLAYERS. 21+ yoyo Club
pdx was a drinking club, then we had a bunch of peeps from all backgrounds, then it turned into a teen suburban scene and just keeps getting uglier the more power kids think they can get by being slimes. its pretty bizarre. im glad your taking initiative to start something new. we needed it. see you in a few.

 Re: CALLING ALL PORTLAND PLAYERS. 21+ yoyo Club
Awesome the world just keeps expanding. HI my name is Dour and I like bikes. I'd totally come; however, my days off are Tuesday and Wednesday and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it their in time unless you gents yo for a while (I could make it there by like 7:30 or so). Worst case scenario I'll just keep hanging out with Pancakes and then we'll come and rumble with yous guys.

 Re: CALLING ALL PORTLAND PLAYERS. 21+ yoyo Club
sorry i missed out. if you take the wrong route to sellwood you run into block after block of resident evil like back allies between 10th and 28th street. i went around reed, the rhody garden, and gave up. ended up playing pool at the goodfoot and then throwing with dour. when i have a sherpa guide me, and provided im still throwing yoyos, i will make sure to be there.

 Re: CALLING ALL PORTLAND PLAYERS. 21+ yoyo Club
that was super fun! the vibe was chill and positive. looks like the start of something good and new in portland. thanks for setting this up jim!
the staff seems genuinely excited about having us yoyo there, and the space is nice, bright and perfect for throwing rocks on strings while enjoying a beer, or scotch, or 7up with a cherry in it.
the perfect place to have a drink after picking up anno, shawn.
what im saying is, this is pancakes approved, and if you know me, you know im super picky about feng shui and little details being right and watching out for creeps. well this is just a good place to rock it.
i really hope any local throwers start trying to make this because it restores the balance we have been missing in town lately. and i wanna watch paul dang drink. this could be a positive chapter in portlands yoyo history. any time a bar devotes a part of a room to an extreme sport like yoyoing it should be taken advantage of.
clifton, paul, dour, "ice pick" ed nukem, you have all got to make this!
