LOST @ Portland’s Bagdad Theater

Bad Photo, Great HD picture at the Bagdad

I went to the free screening of LOST last night at McMenamins’ Bagdad Theater. It was a blast. The episode was little strange (it was the backstory of Smokey and Jacob), but the atmosphere and venue was amazing.

I can’t believe it was free. Well, I did get a hard cider that was $6, so there you go.

Last Two LOST Showings

Tuesday May 18th – 8pm Doors – 9pm Showtime (last regular episode)
Sunday May 23rd – 7pm RECAP 9pm-11:30pm Showtime (Series Finale! 2 1/2 hours)

Co-Working in NW Portland

Scott — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 21:39:12 +0000

I visited two co-working offices in Old Town today. Co-working is for people who don’t mind a little community with their work. For the freelance web publisher (me) or consultant it’s a fairly inexpensive way to have an office that’s not your kitchen table.

I was impressed by both NedSpace (Old Town) and Souk. But I got different “vibes” from each place. Mark at NedSpace was very pleasant, and they have a cool old brick building they operate in.

Souk had more of a less-formal feel, and the community manager Brian was a hoot. The space was smaller, but there seemed to be more activity going on.

Gut feeling?

Looking to raise VC? Try NedSpace

Social media consultant? Souk

Me?

Still deciding. The price was right at Souk for a “hot desk” (not assigned, open space) at $275/month, but I need to decide if I need a private space or not. Probably, but I might be able to manage without one for a few months while I get settled in Portland.
