dude. there will be deelishious beer from Stone Brewing.
there will be 3 spaces full of various chilling opportunities. a lounge to lounge in. a tiny booth with a tiny peephole-style video installation. a big room with floating projections and live musicians in it. a room with cool video shorts in it. an outside sidewalk, too.
but hell, i don't know if i can promise any PBR. i think Stone will set you up...

Go back to SF, Portland doesn not need you. Portland has the rock and the art and the weirdness. Keep Portland weird, go back to your unimaginative expensive California.
Unless you brought your trust fund. In that case we want tyou to stay here and support us artists.

I came here from San Francisco. It's such a relief to find out people are doing these events in Portland. E-rock and Gray Anne on one bill, that's great!
