Good afternoon,

Every Sunday, our proud Portland tradition of lounging about the lawn is taking place. Some call it Twicnic: a picnic put on by Twitter users who just happens to like hanging around each other and having conversations someplace outdoor (be it about technology or otherwise.)

Kindly suggested by Bryan Stearns, we’re meeting at Wallace Park this time. Note the location: NW 25th & Raleigh St.

Bring food, drinks, or whatever you’d like to eat that afternoon. There’s also a Kenny & Zuke’s sandwich shop nearby, if that strikes your fancy.

Bring your books, blankets, bikes, frisbees—and, you know, other things you don’t usually bring to your day job.

And there is even a sort of an after party at Makerlab at 4 pm, if you want to do that.

That is all.

Every Sunday, our proud Portland tradition of lounging about the lawn is taking place. Some call it Twicnic: a picnic put on by Twitter users who just happens to like hanging around each other and having conversations someplace outdoor (be it about technology or otherwise)—then give it a hashtag, so it’s now known as #twicnic.

As kindly suggested by Kimberly Gehl, we’re meeting at Glenn Otto Community Park, by the Sandy River.

Apologies to Robin Catesby for failing to schedule it near the neighborhood. I just thought that having it by the river is a good idea while we have this nice of a weather.

Bring food, drinks, or whatever you’d like to eat that afternoon.

Bring your books, blankets, bikes, frisbees—and, you know, other things you don’t usually bring to your day job.

Computer is optional.

That is all.

The Great Portland Wiknic (potluck) will be held at Willamette Park on Saturday (noon) June 23, 2012, as part of the Great American Wiknic celebrations being held across the USA.

This event is free, but please RSVP ahead of time at https://donutjs.club/tickets so we know how many people to expect. :)

• We’ll be at ‘Picnic Area F,’ a short walk from the north entrance.
• We’ll provide donuts (including vegan and gluten-free donuts), soda, water, cups/plates/utensils.
• It’s a potluck, and we encourage donut-themed food!
• You are welcome to bring a grill and grill foods! (We won’t be bringing one.)
• BYOB; beer/wine is OK.
• The Donut.js Code of Conduct will be in full effect.

This is a break from our normal monthly meetup!

We have monthly meet-ups with talks on tech, creativity, community, society, and the wonderful places where those things overlap. Every month we donate our proceeds to a local nonprofit. Come see some wonderful presentations, eat some donuts, and chat with friends.

Hello fellow PDXers! We have been dormant for a while, and want to gather for some networking and socializing this summer.

It's Croquet – only American Style! With bowling balls and sledgehammers!

That's right, no tiny croquet for us and we've now been doing this for 26 years.

So pull on your British Lawn Whites, your Ham Sammmich costume, your Spock ears or perhaps just your sunglasses and get ready to smack some balls.

What to bring?

• something cold to drink
• a chair to set a spell
• a snack to share with the Mad Hatter Picnic

If you have one, a sledgehammer is handy, but we come equipped with enough hammers and bowling balls so no worries. In fact, you can just come and watch if you'd like.

We do suggest you can turbo-up your fun by dressing appropriately, or appropriately inappropriate. Need some suggestions? Check out past photos: https://mondocroquet.com/photos/

It's FREE and family friendly. See you there.
