There will be (ostensibly) a show created and set up specifically for this purpose c/o Casuistry
There will also be a show happening (already set up) on May 28th. Just so happens Ellen Allien, popular German techno purveyor and label president, will be performing at Holocene that evening. Ned flies in on the 27th. He has expressed interested in seeing this show. So have I.
More details about this tectonic social event will be divulged in this thread, as it is its purpose.

I am impressed that the Portland FAP thread was started TWO MONTHS in advance. Zounds! Gives me enough time to tidy up the place...
Also, my mom will be in town that weekend. So I will actually not be participating as much as I might otherwise (also none of you can stay with me).

You can wreak havoc at Holocene but it's doomed to be artsy havoc. Oh, here's context for you: It's where Momus played when he was in town.
There are a skajillion bars within a few blocks of it as well, including the smoky and beloved Basement Pub.

I had been thinking of driving down, but after getting stuck in traffic today (75F +), I'm remembering how lousy my un-airconditioned car is on highways on hot days- I might be taking amtrak.
― lyra (lyra), Sunday, 4 April 2004 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)
Lyra, I'm planning on doing Amtrak myself... If you're driving alone, it's cheaper to take Amtrak and drive.
Even though most Portlanders hate the place, I still like the x-tra crusty doughy pizza they have at Rocco's (across from Powell's books). And the indifferent punk rock girls that serve it to you.. mmmmmmmmm.

Also last week we got slices from some yuppie pizza joint on Alberta and they were fine by hungry-Oregon-slacker standards (which are just LOWER but whatever, I mean the crust was clearly all wrong but at least the cheese and pepperoni weren't rancid).

Ain't no reason to talk about pizza in Portland. The best you can do is some of the West Coast stuff -- Vincente's in a personal favorite but in part that's because of their fantastic spinach salad.

Not only is tekno babushka Ellen Allien playing the Holocene the night of Friday, May 28th...
...but going on the same night at Berbati's Pan is Destroyer, Frog Eyes, and Mount Egypt.
So, all you BC indy ruck luvverz have no excuse.

It doesn't matter, I'm pretty much only going to be available Saturday, most likely.
And Vincente's pizza is best if you order the garlic and onion.

The hour of Ned approaches. I'm curious which ILXors are going to be in town.
Sadly I'm mostly not going to be able to hang out with you all because my mother will be in town. Also sadly is that a show per se wasn't feasible. But there might be some sort of fun at my house on Saturday if people are interested, and if Ned would like to perform, there will be plenty to watch him. And you'll probably get to meet my mom! She's cool but don't freak her out, if you do meet her.

DB, thanks for the travel schedule! I'm probably meeting with Jake for something lunchish and may spend the rest of the early afternoon in downtown or something, still plotting on my end. Call my cousin's home number when you're in -- Maria and Mark both will be at the house -- while I can try calling you mid-afternoon from wherever I'm at.
I think that's about it for now...
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 28 May 2004 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)
Douglas, Maura is in Seattle this weekend and until Tuesday. If you have spare time (which sounds like is REALLY spare), you might have time to say hi to her on your way up to the Gorge (unless you're taking 84 east and then north, which would take you away from Seattle, but would make sense, as far as getting to the Gorge the fastest)

Will be meeting up with the man and mystery Jake A. for coffee at Stump Town at 34th and Belmont at 11 am, so should anyone care to join us, feel free! Will probably end up back at my cousin's mid-afternoon around when Donut B. arrives.

Folks: The deal tonight is at Billy Ray's (not Billy Reed's) on 2216 NE MLK. Show starts at 9, S. Brooxx is on at 9:30.

Thank you to those who came down -- it was a very nice weekend, and brunch was excellent fun. It was great to meet Donna, who I hope managed to get back to her hotel room in one piece.

1) WMA won't play it; must be QuickTime---which you can grab for free from the Apple site. (Go for the stand-alone QuickTime Player installer though. For whatever reason, the Player/ITunes version just can't handle it.
2) Ned: Find/click on and slide your volume control all the way up on your toolbar. Even when I slid it all the way up, though, I could barely hear it through my headphones.
