Night 3 of the Portland adventure was Saturday and the group was smaller due to illnesses. Bad luck on this one with one person missing the entire weekend and two sick for Saturday. Those able were off to a local landmark the Ringside Steakhouse for dinner.
From Ringside’s website.
Recognized as the leader in Portland steakhouses since 1944, RingSide Steakhouse has been serving our community for over 80 years with the same family ownership at the helm. Set in a one-of-a-kind brick building in the Nob Hill section of Portland, Oregon, this venerable landmark has its own civic identity.
At the steakhouse, most guests begin their dining experience with RingSide’s legendary onion rings which James Beard once claimed to be… ”the best I’ve ever had.”
You gotta love a place where all of the servers are in tuxedo’s, very classy. I feel confident in saying we were the only crossdresser’s or trans people within sight. We were treated wonderfully start to finish by everyone we met. Not just the employees but the other patrons as well with smiles all around.
My count was fifteen ladies a bit more dressed up for the higher end establishment. Seven wives attended the dinner which is something I always appreciate and enjoy. It is wonderful to see them support their spouses feminine expression.
The mission of blending two clubs of like minded people for a joint meeting was a great success. Even though we had 3 out sick 15 people came Saturday night. The total would have been 18 which is not a bad turnout in my view. Aside from being disappointed about the sick folks not attending everything went perfectly.
