Rodney's was the scene of the latest Induction of new members to the HOC. DJ, Harem Girl and The Instigator were all recipients of "The Nod". Each never faltered in their reading of The Rules, and because of their loyalty and diligence, all three were heartily welcomed into the HOC as full fledged members.
Rodney held up his end of the bargain and halved the price of all his appetizers, and along with the 3 dollar pints, nobody left hungry. Mushrooms, Poppers, Beef Tips, Chicken Strips, Onion Rings and Fries gave up their freedom in order to satiate the Tribal taste buds. Hat's off to Rodney, who by this time next week, surely will have a printed happy hour page added to his venerable carnivorous menu.

The 'Aye's' have it! It looks like our next meeting will be after 4:OO pm at Rodney's on Main Street. Thanks to everyone who voted, even if you voted twice. Rodney has promised that his new happy hour menu will be in full force that evening, so come armed with an appetite and in insatiable thirst.
By the way, Joan Piatt is having her Retirement Din Din at the Hi Hat in Tigard. Most of you know where that is. It's the scene of many a Retirement parties, resplendent with story after story to tell. I remember the time that... well, uh it's supposed to be the 27th of March, after 4 pm. Hat's off to Joan for surviving PDX Management!

The hunt goes on! Not being ones to be happy with our lack of an HHC logo, and always being one to have ideas of their own, the calls have gone out to design then deploy the most awesome of club logos, the HHC Tribal Logo. Have you got some hidden artistic talent? Perhaps one of your children still has a few paint brushes lying around, and a few hours of detention? A copy of Corel Draw??
Submit your potential HHC Logo and see your artwork in action here on your favorite homepage!

The Forums function of the homepage is now working. If you click on Forum, you find yourself at the Yahoo Groups page dedicated to us revelers here in PDX. You need to register for the group on the Yahoo Groups page, and once you've done that, you'll be into the inner workings and secret goings on within the inner sanctum of the Happy Hour Tribe. How can it get any better?
Don't worry about spam, or getting on some spam list. The Yahoo Groups does a very good job of allowing groups such as our own to be able to communicate using their site, in a number of fashions. If you check out the page, you'll see much more than just an email echo system. The Happy Hour Tribe Yahoo Groups page contains a way to chat online, a calendar, a separate files system, a place for pictures, etc. The only catch is you have to register before you can use the services.
"It's the greatest thing sinced sliced bread!", Said one happy member. Of course, he was a little groggy at the time, and we're not sure if he was talking about the groups, but he said it, and it's on paper, so seein' is beleeeevin'...

Beautiful view out of the living room window

As you can see, A number of us met in Lincoln City, over the weekend of the Presidents Holiday. A few weeks earlier, members of the Tribe had helped out poor Toni in her hour of need. It seems Toni was in dire straits, needing ten or so powerful sets of hands to help her move into her new digs. As a "thank you" for a job well done, Toni through a beach bash by renting this cool house in Lincoln City, about a stones throw away from the ocean.
The first nite was spent hamming it up with too much to drink, and loads of food which the Hostess provided. The next nite was on us, and we met the challenge with way too much beer and wine, and in a few cases, some margaritas and rum.
