I spent the better part of the afternoon/evening at the Barfly Mag anniversary party, with too much free food and seriously cheap beer
then biked home, which is a bit much in the heat
― kingfish, Monday, 27 July 2009 05:22 (fourteen years ago) link
wait Daniel Menche and PDX Pop are like two mutually exclusive things!

I have been to Portland three times this year with vegans! I am not a vegan, but yr vegan food is great, I have been happy every time. Portland: Books, Good Beer, and Tempeh.

I'm hiding out again at the Central Library. I think I'll head to that western wear shop over on 3rd to get some bandannas, a big white hat, etc.

I am so glad I found that dusty old A/C unit in the garage. Without it, I'd be... well not at home right now.

HA ha. I'm sitting outside shirtless, reading "The Ridiculous Race" about two tv comedy writers deciding to race around the world without using airplanes(one of them cheats), and drinking my roommate's beer.
Tonight is far more tolerable than last night.

They need some sort of Bearded Trust Fund Casualty sign on that part of town. It's Height-Ashbury for tourist retards and they peel up a new Reed student off the ground like every other day over there.

Has anybody gone to the Sisters Folk Music Festival? Is it worth going to?

Energy Food - the bagpipe-playing, unicycle guys on Hawthorne bring out the worst in all of us. It's just what they do.
― Darin, Monday, 3 August 2009 07:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Sunday nights at Beulahland has music videos by request after 8 or so. It's pretty much a DIY 120 Minutes/Headbanger's Ball. I try to go there weekly, and it's a blast.
Meanwhile, my experiment of trying to cool my bedroom down with two box fans facing opposite ways in different windows seems to have worked.

Grand re-opening of the expanded/remodeled Farm Cafe is on wednesday night. Love that place.

Oh man I totally forgot about Beulahland on Sundays, and here I was being all friendless sadsack wishing I had something to do tonight.
Also Darin what the hell this was like the first time I got all zing-style on ILX and you come back all concilliatory and the bigger man? Bullshit. Let's try again:

Your move.

xpost -- I'm looking forward to the adult soap box derby -- I haven't been in a few years even though I live just a stone's throw away from Tabor. I've always been out of town that weekend. But then the week after that I'm moving out to east county, so future visits will be more difficult.

i just visited portland last week, was thoroughly amazed by the number of bars and restaurants and indie boutiques. portland is the new oakland, i think. if i didn't have things tying me down (like a wife and job) i'd move there in a heartbeat. good job portland!
ps - i ate at gravy. what an incredible restaurant!

For those wanting cheap entertainment, i'm throwing a birthday pizza party for me tonight at Ground Kontrol from 7pm onward. It promises to be appropriately loud & stupid.
― kingfish, Wednesday, 12 August 2009 22:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I like loud n' stupid! I might stop by after my roommate interview thing for some Dr Who pinball.
PS it is hard to find people to live with up in this piece, everybody wants me to be a vegan woman non-smoker.
And if anybody is about to suggest a Bosom Buddies scheme, rest assured have already had that dream.
― ENERGY FOOD (en i see kay), Wednesday, 12 August 2009 23:06 (fourteen years ago) link
That Portland/Oakland thing is funny, since from time to time in Oakland I'm struck by how much it reminds me of of Portland. Berkeley and parts of Seattle factor into this as well.Also, had breakfast at Gravy a couple years back and it was good, but the most unforgettable part was that it took like an hour and a half to be served!

was in portland last week. ate at Pambiche, Waffle Window, India Something Something Cart, La Jaracito, KoiFusionPDX, Whiffies and Crema Bakery. holy shit, perfect food experience the whole trip.

i'm visiting portland for a week starting tomorrow. can anyone recommend a dj/dance night, or good shows in general? willamette week hasn't updated its music listings yet, don't know where else to check.

also would be interested in hearing about anything else particularly cool going on. excited!
― W i l l, Monday, 24 August 2009 14:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Never been to any of them but my brother-in-law seems to always be DJing at some club somewhere when he's not a philosophy professor at other places. I know he veers pretty heavy towards hip-hop rather than straight up dance:

― joygoat, Monday, 24 August 2009 15:24 (fourteen years ago) link
hip-hop's not really my dancing choice, but thanks for the suggestion. may look at the list of clubs he spins at and see if they have other, more electronic-dancey nights
― W i l l, Monday, 24 August 2009 20:45 (fourteen years ago) link
holocene is the first best choice for dance music, depending what's going on. also check a night called Nightclubbing (i think their myspace has the most up-to-date info). they do it at various venues, might be a monthly.
