A chance to EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY at Ringler's Pub!

I believe connecting with other people is what brings purpose and meaning to our lives. So, if you think your life would be enriched by making a new friend or two, this event is for you!

This will be a social event, where you can mix and mingle and join as many conversations as you like.

If you have tried other groups on Meetup, and have been disappointed, I encourage you to come to this event. This event/group is different than most social Meetup groups in a few fundamental ways:

1. we have an entire large room all to ourselves. There is no guesswork on who is at the bar/restaurant with Meetup and who isn't. EVERYONE here is with our group.
2. I try to personally greet everyone who comes to each event, and I also introduce you into a conversation, if you like.
3. there are no cliques here; I am very fortunate to attract people to these events that are open to talking to pretty much anyone else.

**So, if you are new to Meetup, or if coming to a social event makes you a little anxious, or even if you are outgoing but a little hesitant because you do not know what to expect, I am ALMOST CERTAIN you'll be glad you came.**

The event starts at 6pm, but please feel free to stop by anytime while the event is going on. There is no such thing as being late.

I suggest thinking about some interests/hobbies/passions you may want to talk about for this event. I have found that a good start to finding friends is to share a hobby or interest or passion.

Also, there is a second event in this group immediately after this - dancing at the Crystal Ballroom (which is upstairs from Ringler's). So, you can also use this as a pre-party for that event.

Ringler's Pub (a McMenamins location) is excited to host our event. We will be in the back room, that borders SW 14th and Burnside.

A tip for street parking: typically, it is easier to find parking on 16th or 17th, between about Couch and Everett.

I hope to see you there!
