Monthly Meetings

When we meet in person, it is normally at the Lucky Lab Beer Hall on NW Quimby (1945 NW Quimby St, Portland, OR 97209). See map below.

Currently we are meeting regularly in-person on the Second Sunday of the month, at 1PM.

To get Zoom information if for some reason we’re meeting that way, you must be a member of the private Facebook Group PDXPen or the Google Group PDXPen which also needs a request to join – please indicate what neighborhood you live in to help the moderators confirm you’re local. Meeting details will not be posted here. But we’ve been back to 100% in-person for over a year, so hopefully this won’t be needed again!

  • Fingers crossed we’ll have another Pelikan Hub (though I’m not sure it’s possible for us to get any bigger…). TBD if we’ll split it into multiple locations.
  • Pen Bazaar should still happen the weekend after Thanksgiving (Nov 30-Dec 1st) at the Lucky Lab Beer Hall. Stay tuned!
