I'm back! And full of..... a question.
I'm looking for a place where everyone knows my name. 
A place to go have cheap appitizers, drinks (not just beer, icky)  and some games.  I'd like it to be on the westside, preferably.  I know about the basement, but they just serve beer, and it is on the eastside.  If it was AMAZING I could go to close in East.

tell me how much you missed me, and tell me where my cool buds and I can drink to games of scrabble.

Travel Agents and other things
So I got engaged recently, damnportlanders (whee!) and I'm trying to find a good travel agent who will work with a tight budget to do a possibly museum-y honeymoon in New York. Anyone had any good experiences with any in town?

and

Good reception halls for cheap? Other ideas for big places where people can hang out for a post-wedding party? Preferably indoors since it might be...Oregon-y outside on that day.

and

Banks that give good loans to people with bad credit. Do they exist?

thanks kiddos

furniture
What's the best place to buy a futon mattress and have it delivered if it's too big for me to handle by myself?

Also, the same question for an inexpensive but sturdy table. And some cat toys, minus the delivery part.

Hotel with hourly rates?
Anyone know of any hotels in the Beaverton area with hourly rates? An old flame of mine will be coming into town, and I need somewhere to take her. I can't do it at my place because my roommate is always home, and can't do it at her place because her parents are always home. I don't really have the money to pay for a full night at a hotel.

Becoming a Homeowner
I want a house. My house. Here in Portland. Yes, I want to settle down. Yet I know jack shit about home ownership. I want to get the ball rolling, and do what I can to prepare myself for becoming a homeowner.

So, uh... what do I do? Where's a good place to start?

What are some good local resouces fr future homeowners? Any programs or such for helping out prospective homeowners with finances, investments, education, information, and/or anything else?

Thanks!

ZOMG! RAIN!
It's raining like a MOFO right now out near Kelly Point Park.

ETA: NM. It stopped. But it's still windy and cloudy.

Still trying to score a Wii
Anybody have any hints? I'm seeing PS3s gathering dust on shelves, but still can't track down a Wii.

beef patties and a vw
no, not the kind that you find on hamburgers, but the delicious, jamaican variety. i know finding colombian food in this town is a bust, but does anyone know where i can find glorious beef patties fresh or frozen?

also, i'm selling my 1987 vw cabriolet. info behind the cut.

First Damnportlanders "Where can I find..." message.
The cherry had to be broken sometime, I suppose. Where can I find the Korean alcoholic beverage that is made of sake and vodka? I don't know the name or if it's really Korean. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi all! I'm from Las Vegas and will be visiting Portland for the first time this weekend.
The main reason I'm going is to tour the PSU campus, but I thought I would ask if you guys could recommend any other cool stuff I should check out around downtown. What record/movie stores I should look at? Any antique stores my parents would like? Any neat tourist attractions I shouldn't miss?

Also, how easy is it to figure out the public transportation system? I'm kinda scared I'm going to get lost! Any tips, or should I be fine?

current state: excited

web design
Okay, I'm willing to pay. 

I have an erotica site that needs a major overhaul. I need it put into .php story script (like e-fiction)  with a coppermine or singapore gallery, a BBS, chatroom and a couple of different skins for it. I'm totally willing to do the grunt work in uploading stuff once it's designed but I have no idea how to begin and the directions for .php and efiction make my head hurt.  I have all of the extant artwork/design that will just need to be adapted into a new shape to fit the new skin. I have many places that I can direct you for what I'd like to see built in, just not the technical know-how to do it. 

The site is in no way vile, unless you're Jerry Falwell - everything there is tasteful and pretty and I'd like to keep it that way. Currently the site is down but will all back up in a day or two to get a feel for it before beginning. 

Let me know if you're interested - thanks!
