I only have been a couple of times, but I really liked that place.
I barely new her.
I think all the times I have been there are included in your list above, but they were good times.
Was this the last all-ages space in the city?
I hope people step up! I hope there are still affordable spaces left in Portland for such an endeavor!
Seeing P:ano in the big ol' geodesic dome at the old location.
When The Kallikak Family/May 23rd 2007 did that amazing drone/comedy set in that same geo dome.
Mt. Eerie shred band sounding like a sped up Dionosaur Jr. with Jason Anderson shredding solos
Maher Shalel Hash Baz bringing it!
The band Repititions.
Other stuff!
It was a great place.
Drinking hot teas and laying down to many White Rainbows.
Fun parties.
Met lots of cool people here. Will be missed.
Last night I saw Weston and Anney briefly at a weird Mac Miller show that i was at for an hour after getting back from Eli & Ashley's wedding and Anney gave me a wooden button! That was nice.
I know there is a huge chance for Portland to step it up and find a way to make some dedicated space happen for smaller and more experimental shows that split the distance between a house show and a safe and accessible legit venue. Like Rahm Emmanuel says, let no crisis go to waste!
Cary Clarke in the mayor's office = huge ally. New NEA granting initiatives up the wazzu. I have faith in you, Portland!
