2 Days until the Old Town Block Party!

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

We are only two days away from the Old Town Block Party and the entire neighborhood is buzzing with anticipation.  As I mentioned in my last Block Party post, this was born out of a brainstorming session at eROI and now has grown into an event with over 20 booths, a record release party, Seven Planet store opening and a rummage sale just to name a few happenings.  The eROI lounge will be by the exit on 5th, between Couch and Davis.  Come down and say hi to us and all the other Old Town businesses.  I can’t think of a better way to spend a Portland Saturday then with food, drinks, shopping and a lot of music.  Let’s celebrate our community and help re-erect the Hung Far Low Sign!

Old Town Block Party + eROI, Sept 12

Tuesday, August 25th, 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.
