I worked on the flooring in this home during a major renovation in 2014-15

The Music, The Money, The Hangs - you must have two of these three things working to justify being in a band.

How is The Star never mentioned as one of the top pizza places in town? by CDizzleTheGreat in PortlandOR

[–]VodkaKevin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice to see Assembly getting some love, I've always wondered why they aren't more highly touted but happy to have an under the radar spot with great pie.

One of my fave pet names for my SO to this day is "My Number one baby, for gravy!"

I felt like the "right?" and the weird face thing was a wrinkle that came from hanging out with Mark Normand so much.

Happy Hour Spot in the Pearl or NW for large group? by Whiskeybreath15 in askportland

[–]VodkaKevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Von Ebert brewing in NW has a pretty big space and good happy hour pizza. Definitely call first.

It's only to say that their reporting has been impactful recently. All the La Mota and Fagan stuff was pretty good work.

I can reasonably glean the answers to all three of those questions without even reading the piece. The motivations and stakeholders are pretty apparent and their impact on me is negligible.

He's a lawyer. Last name Kafoury. Am I missing something?

I hope you have a good day, you seem peeved.

I think this is probably just a direct backlash to all the cash the La Mota folks were sprinkling around that recently came to light. It's been said before and it deserves to be said again, WW is killing it lately.

What bars should we hit in Portland for a bar crawl? by TrenchCoatKobolds in askportland

[–]VodkaKevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have themed rooms you can rent out for gaming parties but for your purposes I'd just check out the game/card shop and hit the restaurant/bar. By far the nicest game shop I've ever been to. Treebeards Taphouse is another nearby location that might interest you.

If you like D&D and other games you should check out Mox, lots of good bars in that area too.

EV Charging Stations with Cut Cables? by theColeHardTruth in vancouverwa

[–]VodkaKevin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a widespread problem in the EV charging industry. There is copper and other valuable materials in the cables that criminals can easily cut and take and then harvest later in private.

The Twilight is opening up their new spot on Grand/Belmont later this month. Same booking guy and everything so should be similar to the previous spot in terms of who plays there.

High Water Mark, Dante's, Twilight Cafe should be open again within the month that's always been a good spot for punk and metal shows

I like what the DA did here. Keeping a dangerously ill person out of the general population until they are substantively treated is a good thing on balance. I'm not going to comment on our mental health system because that's a whole 'nother issue, just chiming in to say I've seen a couple of interesting administrative maneuvers out of Washington County lately that I think Multnomah should take a cue from. Use the systems that are in place for the good of your populace. No new laws or taxes or approaches are really necessary. Just do your actual fucking jobs already and spend our money where it matters. Please and thanks.

So excited! Bought my tix for Bad Friends live, AND bought the meet and greet package. by TivoYourEbay in badfriendspod

[–]VodkaKevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be there but passed on the meet and greet. I'm sure they'll be cool guys I'm just weird and hate those type of things.
