This is Portland, we do what we like. This is Portland, we do what we like.

I mean, totally not ideal, but cheap and with an immediate move in.

Feels kinda spammy, but I'd rather do it here than on a Trumans thread.. Trumans Water/Castanets show at the house here (Woodstock area) on Saturday if anyone goes for that kind of thing.

so, I am staying in the nw hostel for now, hopefully to have own place soon

Which hostel, rev? You might in my hood.

the nw hostel, like I say

Ah. If it's the one I'm thinking of I am like five blocks away from you at a bar. HEY!

what bar?

I was just at the blue moon and another one I didnt note the name of

The matador. It's my local. Stop by if you'd like! (but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be out tonight tbh.)

Oh I was there a few nights ago. I think I will drop by shortly.

Good prospects on a place on 74th NE off Sandy

Nope.

Still can't find a place, super frustrated.

Gorgeous day today, though, amirite?

Meh. I'm couped up inside scouring cl anyway.

Okay, so I got called back by someone offering me a place. Way SW, practically in Lake Oswego. Not ideal, but doable. I hope the people whose house I checked out today get back to me tomorrow so I can have a better location.

Found a more desirable place, right off the 82nd St. MAX.

Tomorrow I become an official Portland resident!

yay!
(boo)
yay!

My landlords wife is renting rooms at 57th and NE Sandy, if anybodys looking for a place

Okay srsly and for real:

Saturday night. Drinkin'. All are welcome. I'd love to do it at my local (the B-Side) because it's v. friendly to me and has a covered/heated smoking patio, but alternative venue/date suggestions can be made.

oh man that's my birthday, otherwise i'd be there with bells on.

alternative venue/date suggestions can be made.

Important information for u 2 consider.

:) :)

It's a trap!

What about earlier in the day? On Saturday night, they're doing a singalong versin of Hedwig & the Angry Inch at Cinema 21, and I'm probably heading there.

The HP Lovecraft Film Fest is also this weekend. I'd volunteer again, but I've done that for the last 4 years, so I'll take a break this time.

Sing-Along Hedwig and The Angry Inch
October 3 at 10:00 p.m.

It’s back! Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the fiercely inventive rock and roll movie musical returns to the big screen and this time you can sing-along! An emcee will get you warmed up and provide you with props to use as the movie plays. There’ll even be a costume contest with special prizes!

Will be there, no doubt.

we should do a pre-show boozey fap

Indeed. Working that day till 7:30, tell me where to be at 8 and I'm there. Wouldn't mind if you made it earlier with me as a late arrival, either.

what are you booing at tz?

you living in portland and not seattle!

oh yeah, what an awful person I am

I was saying boo-urns.

I signed my lease!

My housemates play Ultimate. They have invited me to accompany them.

Haaaaaa. Welcome to Portland.

what can ya do

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.

Apparently that is the next hood south of mines, which is Madison South according to this google map?

You're around 82nd and what? I-84?

Portland sounds great.

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.

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.

That sounds cool. Maybe cooler than the Blue Moon.
