Shame on Wilf's Piano Bar and Restaurant for holding a function in Portland Union Station's lobby without Amtrak permission. No self-respecting Portlander should patronize this business after what they pulled tonight. Wilf's decided the perfect venue for a bunch of drunken attendees of "Computing In a Changing World" would be their next door neighbor's (Amtrak's) lobby. Portland Union is a major station.

Kudos to AmPol and the PPB for responding quickly to remove the tresspassers (even if you arrived the same time the train did).

Kudos to Amtrak for setting it right with double points and a drink coupon, and handling a completely crappy situation with understanding and a smile.
