UPDATE!!: Calling all Portland Oregon Area Klovers. I'm Here and Need Help!

Hey all,

Well the divorce is looming and it looks like I'm going to be moving to Portland for a change of scenery. I've always wanted to live in the NW and I always hear great things about Portland. Couple that with some good friends offering me a place to stay, well that pretty much cinched it. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would be available on March 15-16 to help unload my trailer lol. I was only able to bring 2 vids and 2 pins as the rest were sold as result of her ummm extramarital activities. So there's a Rampart, a 60-in-1, a Dr. Who and an X-Files Pin. Add a bunch of other crap and a motorcycle and you have 17 feet of a 28 foot trailer filled. Anyway, if anyone can help out I would greatly appreciate it and can definitely offer food/drink/camaraderie/a few small dogs etc... If someone has a decent dolly that would be great as mine will be staying with the STBX. I look forward to meeting you all and can't wait to hit that Ground Kontrol arcade a bunch of times. Oh and if anyone plays Disc Golf, let me know. I definitely want to hit some of the courses out there. Cheers all.

UPDATE:

Hey all,
Finally made it to Portland and I must say that it was a great trip. So far I really like it here and fits all my expectations. Now I just need to unload all my stuff and need help on Monday and Tuesday.

The truck should show up Monday morning between 8-12 according to ABF. If the
Portland ABF is anything like Denver, then that means 9:00 but who
knows.

If anyone is available Monday or Tuesday pretty much anytime to help
out; that would be great.

I do know one thing I need as a dolly. If anyone can bring one or two
that would great. I could also drop by later this evening to borrow
one of that would be ok. Feel free to call me at 303-587-3921 if you
can be of assistance or have a dolly to lend out.

The address is 4001 SE Tibbetts St. in case you would like to drop by.

Thanks all. I look forward to meeting everyone.

Fred

A monday and tuesday makes it a bit tough, but welcome anyway. I'll send you a PM about the local collectors group so you can get hooked in, and maybe someone in the group can help out.

I don't know what Starport is, but I'm assuming you are thinking of Ground Kontrol. :)

I don't disc golf but my brother does and though he's only been up here a few times he says this is a good area for disc golf.
 
Yep, I know the Monday/Tuesday thing sucks as I know people are working. They only do business days so I got stuck with those. I definitely don't mind evening help that's for sure. I'm also looking a job out there so if anyone knows any companies looking for a Project or Service Delivery Manager specializing in IT Infrastructure let me know. :) And thanks for the correction of the arcade name. Not sure where I got Starport from. :) Thanks.

welcome to pdx. what part of town? if you arent too far out, I may be able to lend a hand after work.
And join pac collectors, its the best group around :)
 
Welcome to town. Yes there is some pretty great disc golfing around, but with a few exceptions you need to drive a ways to get there. Check out http://www.odsa.com/ for all of the pdx golf info you could ever want. I'm out of town that whole week, but I have an appliance hand truck if you find someone to help.

Well i'm not from Portland OR, I Wanted too wellcome you too the Northwest!
 
Welcome to the Left coast
I hope your not comming here for the games
Because Shanman, OregonArcade, Bricktop and my self have already bought them all
:D
 
And if they think about it for too long, FullThrottle and DJW90 will beat them to the games... :D
 
Thank you all for the warm welcomes. I can't wait to get there. Until I get the job thing worked out, I doubt I will be looking for projects. However once one comes thru, then perhaps there may be some races. The pac group sounds great and I will post my call for help there too. I'm really looking forward to meeting you all. I think this will be a blast. :)
 
He's in. :) And you might have a new friend, Jordan. See his want list? :)

Ah the ST:TNG. Yes I have one. That will be two locals trying to pry it away from me. PDXGeek has already been trying.

Vesspertillio, I sure wish you would have brought that EDOT! Whats the story on that?

Thanks for the offer of the dogs as well. Although we have a pretty big Asian population here, the most common meats consumed are still chicken, pork, and beef.:pacman:
 
I'm up in PDX often... but that week is crazy for me or else I would totally help out.

All you Portland guys should take me under your wing. As a new collector in the area, I could use some contacts/friends/people to bother about parts.
 
Thanks Jim. I've met a ton of great collectors here and I look forward to meeting more up in PDX, One thing I do know is that arcade/pin collectors are some of the nicest people I know.

Except of course when that $100.00 SW shows up on CL. Then they are a pack of rabid wolverines.

I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

Oh, I found out I will be around the 4000 block of SE Tibbett St. So if anyone is close there and not too busy on the 15th or 16th. Let me know.

Cheers all.
