Congratulations! Check out Montavilla neighborhood (which I presume is near you). There's a nice new cocktail bar on 79th and SE Stark that has organic/sustainable snacks, fancy pre-prohibition drink recipes, and also $2 PBRs for those inclined. It's across the street from the Academy, a $3 beer theater with 5 screens.

Oh yeah, the bar is called Vintage.

Okay, who's up for pre-Hedwig fap tonight? I'm thinking Blue Moon on NW 21st. I don't know any place closer which also ain't douchier.
― kingfish, Saturday, 3 October 2009 16:02 (fifteen years ago) link
xxp Yeah, 82nd & Thompson, a few blocks northwards.
I'd be down for the Blue Moon. Not a bad place at all.

Okay, let's do it then. 8pm, Blue Moon. NW 21st and Everett or whatever it is. Find the dude wot looks like an ilxor.
N-I-C-K, you still down for this?

My housemate is hanging art and playing music at a house on 37th & Alberta tonight. 7pm. They're called Wizard Rifle. Loud and fun.
― Nate Carson, Saturday, 3 October 2009 20:11 (fifteen years ago) link
That sounds cool. Maybe cooler than the Blue Moon.
― wit and wisdom (snrub 'n' tug remix) (The Reverend), Saturday, 3 October 2009 20:35 (fifteen years ago) link
Pretty sure Blue Moon is 21/Glisan btw
― wit and wisdom (snrub 'n' tug remix) (The Reverend), Saturday, 3 October 2009 21:03 (fifteen years ago) link
Well if you come down, I look like this: myspace.com/nanotear

― Nate Carson, Saturday, 3 October 2009 21:03 (fifteen years ago) link
Nevermind: that party/art show is aimed at kids and run by censors.
― Nate Carson, Sunday, 4 October 2009 00:47 (fifteen years ago) link
Okay, won't make it by 8, but I'll be heading down to Blue Moon for a bit before the movie tonight.

I did find a shelf and a pair of girl jeans for free and saw an awesome west african drumming/dancing troupe tho, so the day was not all a wash.

Theater is filled, and they're having a hairdo-judging contest.

Sorry I bailed Rev. I tried to shout a warning on here first.
I Dj heavy metal vinyl at Ground Kontrol (a retro-video game/pinball arcade that serves beer & wine) from 8-midnight Sunday 10/4.
Come down. It's free. I will totally buy you a drink or two. :)
― Nate Carson, Sunday, 4 October 2009 06:42 (fifteen years ago) link
And there's no cover this week, if anyone was wondering.

Welcome to Portland, Reverend!
I second all of Nate's recommendations (I'm in South Tabor). Also check out The Country Cat (great southern-inspired food menu next to vintage), The Observatory (great burgers), and Flying Pie (extremely filling pizza and calzones). All of these spots are around 82nd ave. and Stark. You should also check out Mt. Tabor park for some good hikes and nice views of PDX.

Wotta night

Having a Still-Untitled British TeeVee night at the Low Brow on Tuesday the 20th. 7pm til 10-11 or so. Free, all invited, bring your friends, etc.
Figured we'll start with some easy picks(Doctor Who, Blackadder, Jeeves & Wooster, whatever else we can find on Region 1 dvd) and go from there.

For Columbus day, I have the amazing OvO (from Italy) playing at Tube (18 NW 3rd) tonight. BTW, every monday I Dj there; it's Heavy Metal Ladies Night ($2 Hamms & well drinks for the ladies).
This should be a really good one. Come one, come all!

I'll take "Sentences that you read and think: Portland" for $1000...
"Prosecutor Eric Zimmerman told Judge Eric Bergstrom that Harris plans to get a memorial tattoo of the fish and wanted Fite to pay for it."

My parents brought a bunch of stuff down, so now I have a bike, stereo, dresser, musical instruments, among other things. We had lunch at the Thai Peacock and explored Powells. Luckily the weather decided to clear up for us.
