I'll have a table there :) Don't have any definite plans for after the show yet but drinks sound fun :D
 
Glad to hear it, Bill! I look forward to seeing you again. :cool:

First post in this forum, but I’ve been reading and enjoying the great atmosphere here for awhile now (and have unwittingly been drawn into "the addiction" :eek: ). I live just east of Portland (Sandy, OR - final destination for several recent shipments from Meridian :thumbup: ) and am planning to attend the show. Meeting some of the folks that participate here sounds like a great idea, so what's the plan???

Brazil Grill
An under-the-radar, all-you-can-eat meatery invades downtown Portland.
BY IVY MANNING | 503 243-2122

[May 10th, 2006] Carnivores rejoice, churrasco has arrived in Portland. The traditional Central and South American meat preparation involves cooking hunks of meat on a rotisserie and serving them in the rodizio style, whereby waiters circulate around the room slicing the roasted meat off of swordlike skewers at your table.
Although it has been open since January, Brazil Grill still feels undiscovered due to its hidden office-building-like locale downtown. The Grill serves everything in an all-you-can-eat style ($28.95), so it's best to eat lightly the day of your visit and pace yourself. I was so taken by the exotic offerings on the salad bar—hearts of palm with pimento, curried sweet potatoes and black beans and rice with farofa, a condiment made of cassava meal—that I was stuffed before the mounds of meat began to arrive.

Being a novice, I didn't fully grasp the importance of using the hockey-puck-like signal on the table, either. Flip your puck to the green side and a waiter dressed in traditional gaucho gear (black vest, billowy white shirt, scarlet scarf) arrives with a skewer loaded with meat. Flip the signal to red and they give you a break.

We were so distracted by the romance of men whisking around the earth-toned dining room with swords of meat that we forgot to flip our puck; they kept coming with more meat, and soon I had more than I could handle.

Around 15 meats were on offer. "Lighter" fare like bacon-wrapped chicken and shrimp came first, then cognac-marinated chicken drumsticks, pork loin and roasted pineapple. A parade of red meat followed, from simple salt-and-pepper-seasoned leg of lamb to mustard-coated sirloin. If you're after rarer-cooked meat, pass on the first few outer slices and wait for medium-rare slices from the center of the roasts.

Once you get the hang of the "go" and "stop" signaling thing and take a few sips from a deliciously tart Caipirinha cocktail ($7.50) made with muddled limes and cachaça (Brazilian rum), the leisurely pace of dining of Brazil is bound to set in.


1201 SW 12th Ave., 222-0002, www.brazilgrillrestaurant.com. Lunch 11:30-2 pm Monday-Friday; à la carte menu only $6.95-$10.95. Dinner 5-10 pm daily. $$-$$$ Moderate to expensive.

Actually we have to send a huge Army just to keep track of Skunk......I wanted to put a tracking device on him but he just won't stay still long enough!!!!!!
 
It's looking more like I may be able to make it saturday. I'm waiting on some funding. Won't be able to purchase anything after fuel for my truck, but maybe I can drink a beer with some of you after the show.

Can anyone tell me what the rules are for carrying blades and such into the show?
