How much do I love Portland? As much hiding under the covers while it rains! A resolution for the new year. To join the Loyal Order of Fire Drinkers. By the end of the year. This involves tasting 50 pre-selected rums by the end of the year. I’m very excited! Why, you might ask? And is conveniently located. Lessons from New Year’s Eve: when tasting the rums, consider trying only one or maybe two. After two drinks, everything tastes great (and oddly similar). This entry was posted in Northeast.

Is located in SE Portland across the street from Reed College and in the same “super duper” block as the Eastmoreland Golf Course. It’s a city park! This entry was posted in Southeast.

As a side note, the Bagdad Theater is out (now showing first run movies), which is a bummer because the seats were more comfortable than other venues but a good thing because the theater just ate u...

Thoughts on Day One of Bridgetown 2014 - Central Portland
http://www.centralportland.com/thoughts-day-one-bridgetown-2014-05-09
How much do I love Portland? As much hiding under the covers while it rains! Thoughts on Day One of Bridgetown 2014. First night of Bridgetown was fun (as expected), a bit of an organizational mess (partly my own fault), and taking off Friday was a great idea. With Paul F. Tompkins as HG Wells and Jon Daly as Oscar Wilde (who is not, despite having the same initials, Orson Welles) was all that I hoped it would be. Fun fun fun. Yay! Sticking with my geography plan. Or Late Night Action. Me: left my driver...
