Impromptu Portland Sift Up

I'm sorry for not organizing a proper Northwest Sift Up. I'm in town only briefly, going to a community leadership conference here but had some time to hang out with some vintage but very awesome Sifters. From the left - Videosift cofounder (The Silent One) @jamesroe, @oohahh, @rickegee and yours truly. We're drinking apricot beer and eating tasty food truck comestibles.
I think we have a Meat Space quorum!

By vintage I don't mean human age - these guys are all younger than me I think - but just that they go waaaay back on the Sift. They swear they still lurk and view every day, but they've kind of raptured up into a higher Sift plane that doesn't interact with our mortal Videosift world.
Holy crap you guys look old. Especially, you Dag.

Apparently James is so vintage he was allowed to have a space in his username.
Those are some damn fine chops.
How was the apricot beer? I am not a huge fan of beer flavored with fruits but I would love to try one (or seven). The next time you are in the Northeast, you can head to the other Portland and I will introduce you to some of the best micro-brews in the world.

It was pretty good - just a hint of fruit without being sweet. I'll take you up on that offer. Maine, right?>> ^critical_d:

So.. much.. facial hair!
Dag rocking the King beard. I like it.
I pledge my sword to thee, if it pleases m'lord, dag of the House VideoSift, the First of his Name, King of the dramatic chipmunks and the Shimabukuros, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm
You boys are alright.
But why don't you visit more often...?
Oh god, now I'm old.
Looks like a grand old time.
We'll definitely need to have a massive "one SiftUp to rule them all" some day if enough people would be interested. Facial hair optional.
Yep, I am from Maine.

You sons of bitches. I could have been there in fifteen minutes and I wouldn't have let you drink apricot beer.

The Pacific Northwest has the best beer in the world, hands down. Anyone who might doubt that would do well to remember that 80% of US hops are grown in Washington alone. We had a fire here a few years back in one barn in the Yakima Valley. That one barn contained 4% of the worlds hop supply.
But I swear that if there's ever another meet-up in PDX, I won't get all preachy about the beer.
oohahh is Gabe Kaplan?
Very cool.
It was great to have the opportunity to meet the omnipotent overlord of us all (even those of us now in absentia). And yes, dag and James were drinking fruity beer from a truck, but they were drinking them with THEIR MINDS.
This photograph can also serve as a decade-by-decade survey of popular male pornstar facial hair styles for future generations.

It's unstoppable. In the siftup 10 yrs from now, it will be coming out their ears and noses as well.
