Events Bonus Brewhaha This Week!

Posted by Sarah Mirk on Tue, May 5, 2009 at 4:45 PM

I know, I know, we just had a Brewhaha. It was awesome. We're only supposed to host one fun, frank, booze-friendly political debate night a month. But in a special turn of events we're hosting two Brewhahas BACK TO BACK. There is far too much going on in this town so we've formed an axis of excellence with 1000 Friends and The Bus Project to bring Portland more Brewhaha action.

This Thursday at 7PM at Roots we'll tackle Portland's favorite subject: Transportation. Specifically, what we could do with $4.2 billion. Spend it on a 12 lane bridge? Repair Portland's shabby infrastructure? Incorporate submarines into the TriMet system? We'll see.

Show up at 6:30 for "networking." I don't know exactly what that entails. Conversation? Blogging? Blogging about conversation? Blogging about conversations in submarines? We'll see.

Don't you guys know that Thursday evening is opening for the track racing season at Alpenrose?

I think that Roots makes some decent beers... But the space seems relatively inappropriate for hosting events like this.

Couldn't you have it someplace more cavernous, like Lucky Lab?

Roots has great space, next door to the bar you know is the cavern you don't. Show up and be amazed at the concrete floors, axillary bar, and warehouse feel of Roots' event space.

Well fuck, looks like maybe the event won't feel like it's happeing in someone's romper room then.
