Simple Contact in Portland, Oregon

[Tirving]

Howdy folks, I think it's time to get Barrett out to Portland. I am thinking about using a classroom in East West College of Massage and doing a Saturday 8-6 and Sunday 9-1 Simple Contact seminar. I need 2 things from the folks on SS

1. Let's get a tentative but realistic head count of SS members. I'll get the registration info and payment stuff out ASAP, this is informal for now.
2. Dates???? Portland is absolutely gorgeous in the late summer but I can do something earlier too.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. I want to keep this affordable but fun and worth it for Barrett.

Thanks Tim,

In case anyone is wondering, I'm free all summer.

As many of you know, my son Alex and his family are in Seattle where he's working for Microsoft.

Getting me that way is easy.

I am thinking 8/23-8/24.....

There's nothing going on in Portland that would be problematic in August and this leaves it far enough away from the beginning of the school year as well for folks in school or with kids/family members in school. Anyone else have suggestions?

I'd like to get Barrett here ASAP and the end of September is shaping up to be pretty busy for me. August is awesome in Portland

[Barrett Dorko]

Again, August sounds good to me.

Again, August sounds good to me.

I am thinking August will be better for a lot of folks Barrett. :clap2:

I would definitely attend, the last two weekends in August would be difficult for me, but earlier I could make work.

I will consider 8/16 and 8/17 as well. I'll probably make the final decision by the middle of May

[Barrett Dorko]

Tim, Let me look...

Yes, the earlier date is WIDE OPEN.

After taking Diane's course, I am very interested in Barrett's Simple Contact. Did I miss this or did this never end up coming to my hometown?

[Barrett Dorko]

Jeromie,

It didn't happen, so you've missed nothing.

How ironic.

I remain available.

[Tirving]

I couldn't make it happen, the summer is the only time I have available to organize something like this. If more folks are interested in Portland, I think we might be able to put something together for 2015. I still want to do it.

[Barrett Dorko]

Well, my son's family lives in Seattle. I'd love to visit them.

[Jeromie]

I'd even drive to Seattle, which isn't too far from Portland if something there could be organized.

As crazy as it sounds, what about trying to set up an event at our chiropractic school (University of Western States)? That's actually where I received my massage education, so I thought it might be great exposure for the students on campus as well as those interested in the pacific northwest in general. There's a contact email here http://www.uws.edu/ce/.

This was the space the folks at OHSU rented out for Diane to come to Portland, in case that helps: http://taborspace.org/spaces/.

Not familiar with anything in Seattle.

Jeromie,

I'm flying to Baltimore this PM to do a two day workshop. This was initially proposed by a chiropractor , Brian Morrison, and, I assume, several will be in attendance. Jason Silvernail will be there on Sunday as well.

Here's the web site promoting the event.

I'll be writing from there and will take some pictures.
