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

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.

Pretty sure Blue Moon is 21/Glisan btw

Well if you come down, I look like this: myspace.com/nanotear

Say hi!

Nevermind: that party/art show is aimed at kids and run by censors.

Okay, won't make it by 8, but I'll be heading down to Blue Moon for a bit before the movie tonight.

happy birthday, clay!
btw

Oy, so, something I ate around 6 caused spectacular stomach pain and disorientation, so I'm out of commission tonight.

At Blue Moon now with friend, heading to theater in 30.

bummerz nite: went to both Alberta/37th and Blue Moon and did not encounter anyone I recognized

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.

thanks so much tza!

<3

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. :)

And there's no cover this week, if anyone was wondering.

oh hey nate, i play there every second saturday!

small town :)

I have already randomly ran into random people I met in random locations.

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

I live on the north side of Mt Tabor and I love it.

btw yall, Nate is quite the awesome dude

Aw, shucks.

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."

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2009/10/13/national/a144550D00.DTL&tsp=1

The judge ordered Fite to stay away from Harris, but said he could have contact with fish.

Congrats!

Also YOU TOOK OUR JOBS

I'm proud of taking your jobs.

Gloat if you like. You earned the right to. Jobs are hard to find now.

My nissan had an alternator die on thursday night, and i got the thing as far as the garage two blocks away! So i'm car-less(again) assuming they get the part in on tuesday...

in better news, they're showing a Gordon Liu kung-fu flick tonight at the Hollywood at 7:30!

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.
