  2 0 I was a member of the Meetup group and when I suggested they vary times/locations (not everyone can be in NoPo on a Saturday morning) I was told to set up my own group. Hmph. That group meets at the restaurant owned by the guy who (I think) pays the fees for the Meetup site. There are LOTS of Scrabble players in Portland. I think there's a group at the Lucky Lab on Sundays. One of the national champions lives here (2005?). A few questions: What dictionary are you planning on playing? OSPD or TWL? Do you play at ISC and if so, what is your rating? I tend to hover just below 1000 but can dip as low as 700 and sometimes I break that 1K barrier. Interest to sustain it depends on how hardcore you make it. The more hardcore, the more committed people are and you'll get a good group of regulars. Play tournament rules. nestchick answered in Film, TV & Games over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by two squatting women… 0 0 I figured gatherings existed, just didn't know how formal or not. Guess there are both. I don't using a specific dictionary. None of my partners are into taking tons of blind stabs and hoping the word can be found somewhere. I usually use whatever dictionary's around, or, we'll look up words on reputable sites. What's ISC? I'm into just casual but competitive playing. Nothing hardcore. Hoping it draws people with some semblance of social skills. I'd want things to be jovial. Drinking and fun encouraged. two squatting women commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Tiger's Cafe on Belmont does Monday evening board games. First 10 or so people who start a board game get a free appetizer. They have a couple Scrabble games and we've gotten in great matches with other Portlanders! So come on down, bring an additional Scrabble game if you have one and we'll get this thing moving! Plus, Tiger's has awesome falafel and great brews. bellamoses answered in Film, TV & Games over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by two squatting women… 0 0 Awesome. Thanks for the info. I'll definitely show up at some point. two squatting women commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Concordia New Seasons hosts a Scrabble night every Tuesday. The store even provides free "light refreshments." I've never attended, but when I've walked by on my way to the cookies, there have usually been between 4-6 people playing Scrabble in the seating area. Does that count as a club? s.mirk answered in Film, TV & Games over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by two squatting women… 0 0 I'd say so. Thanks. That's pretty much how I'd picture my future club. But perhaps with better ambiance and the assurance that any "light refreshments" served be the adult kind. two squatting women commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Bring it, don't sing it. amazonfemme answered in Film, TV & Games over 2 years ago | Report 2 comments by two squatting women and amazonfemme… 0 0 I hear ya. I don't want to be another "gonna do-er." Can I count you in? two squatting women commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 If I'm not travelling the country aiding in the destruction of what remains of our untouched land in order to bring the oil consuming masses their fill, I'M IN. As an added bonus, even though I love it I REALLY SUCK at Scrabble, so everyone playing can feel great about being so much more smarter-er and kicking my a$$ all the time.

  0 0 There isn't already one? I know some people who have played serious Scrabble in club-like settings in Portland. Maybe you should specify what you mean by "club." ROM answered in Film, TV & Games over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by two squatting women… 0 0 Yea, there most likely is one already. By "club" I meant a roving gathering of people either playing a few games in an evening or setting up round robin games you coordinate with someone and have to play anywhere you'd like within a certain time frame, a week or two for example. Hmm. I should probably give it some more thought. two squatting women commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Hi... i run a meetup group called Scrabble PDX. I took over the group (it was a bloodless coup) about 6 months ago, and i'm hoping to make it a 1-stop resource for Scrabble events in the Portland area. We schedule events, but we also list events that others hold (and we label them appropriately, of course) You can find it at... http://www.meetup.com/ScrabblePDX/ I should mention there is no cost to join or to attend any of our events (other than whatever food or drink you buy) Feel free to contact me through there...

  0 0 It would and it has, just google Portland Scrabble. How about a salacious [11 points] Scrabble, HUMP meets Word Play, down and dirty on the tiles. alainb1 answered in Film, TV & Games over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
