This page is for discussing topics relating to the [Sixteenth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (2009)]. ---- **Off-site events** [DKF]: 2009-08-18: It's still not confirmed that I'll be coming at all (I have an important meeting the same week) but if I do come, I'll probably stay a bit beyond the end (it's much cheaper if I can stay over a Saturday night…) [hat0]: other fun things to do: take the max from the conference hotel to the old town/chinatown stop and walk a few blocks to Fong Chong for some fantastic dim sum [gerry] a must-see in Portland -- http://www.powells.com/ for all book lovers [SRIV] Plans to arrange a nightly outing to observe and critique the local strip clubs. [JJM] FYI, I will be driving my car to the conference. I have a sedan that can seat 3 other people comfortably or 4 other people non-comfortably. ***Sunday, 09-27*** [makr] 2009-08-18: As I will arrive late at Saturday already I was thinking about to book a day-tour around Mount Hood and resort to a Microwbrewery tour in the evening if the weather is not good for a hike through the nature. If there are more people interested please leave a message here, maybe we can get some discount. The company offering these tours also has some other options available, see here: http://www.ecotours-of-oregon.com [CMcC] is not so keen on *eco* tours. Hell, I'm a tourist, I want to cause as much environmental degradation as humanly possible before I head back home! [bsg] Walk to Defeat ALS [http://web.alsa.org/site/TR?fr_id=5829&pg=entry] - This is a great way to see the beautiful waterfront of Portland on foot and to meet lots of wonderful people. Please read the message from by friend Steve Sall [http://web.alsa.org/site/TR/Walks/OregonWalk?team_id=113670&pg=team&fr_id=5829] to understand why we walk. I'll be there Sunday to walk with Steve's Wobbly Knees! -Brian ***Friday, 10-02*** [stevel] A group is planning to head to McMinnville on Friday afternoon (Oct 2) for to visit the Spruce Goose [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreen_Aviation_Museum] - i.e. an Aviation BOF!
