This group was created to get to know other former east coast-ers now living in Portland, whether you moved here last week or ten years ago.  As wonderful as Portland and Portlanders are, it's always great to meet other people who have moved here from the east coast, especially the Northeast.  Moving across the country can often feel like moving to another country- different senses of humor, different values, different interests- and it'd be great to be able to get together for drinks, dinner an …

And I mean cool in a knows all the words to every Patsy Cline AND every Minor Threat song kinda way, not in a Rose McGowan in Jawbreaker kinda way. I don't know if you have to be Gen X, but that sense of irony seems to be peculiar to our generation, so I thought I'd try and narrow it down this way. It's not about bei …

I'm looking to meet up with people in my neighborhood ( I live near SE 62nd and Woodstock) who like to jog with their dogs. I am flexible with what time and the frequency we go on the runs and flexible with distance (I usually do 3-4 miles every other day or so) I have a dog who is over excited and overstimulated by other dogs while walking or jogging.

On a practical level, this Portland social group is for lesbian/queer and queer-friendly women who have vitality and a strong sense of self. I say "practical" because I realize that most people use meetup casually, to meet others and find things to do from time to time. But ideally, I'd like to manifest a village of warriors. To me, a true warrior of modern times is a strong woman who has a healthy relationship with power. She speaks her truth, walks her own path, lives by principle instead of c …
