Old Town Block Party + eROI, Sept 12

Aug 25 2009

On April 8th, we got the news that the legendary Hung Far Low Sign had been cleared to be brought back to its home in Chinatown.  The challenge was to find the funds to do it.  What ensued was an epic email strand of brainstorming throughout our team.  The top of all of our lists (well, besides the “Naked Limbo Contest”) was our Marketing Coordinator’s idea to have a huge block party.  I think he put it best with “yes, the answer to everything is a dance party.”

Here we are four months later in the final stages of a huge collaboration to introduce the first Old Town China Town Block Party.  I’m so psyched that all the creative, delicious and just cool business in this area have all banned together to have fun for a great cause.

It’s all going down Saturday September 12th from 3pm-11pm in the parking lot between Ping, Seven Planet, and eROI.  The party is all ages and free for everyone.  Music will flow through the streets compliments of the DJ’s from the Fix, with live performances from Yacht, M64 and May Ling.  There will be art, food, retail and a lot of cool people trying to bring back a Portland landmark.

    Sounds like a real good time! Even after living in PDX my whole life, I couldn’t remember what the HFL sign looked like, but I found it:
