DP on 105.1

On my way in to work I was listening to 105.1 and they were talking about Free-gans. Somebody called in and said they had heard about it on "A Portland community on Livejournal" 

Come on, I know it was one of you!!!!

Reception Ideas
A friend of mine is going to have to get together a group of people for a reception in the portland Metro area. She doesn't have a ton of money so free would be best. Outdoors would be awesome, perhaps in a park. Any suggestions? Weather appropriate for April/May please and thank you!

Farmer's-type market this weekend?
I know it's going to be rainy today and this weekend, but it's the only time I have free to do stuff I want.
Are there any farmer's markets open today or any day this weekend? I know there's the one at the PSU campus and the Saturday market, but I'm always seeing signs for smaller, neighborhood-type markets. I can never remember where exactly they are or when. Please help? If anyone has information to make my weekend, that would be great. Thanks.
::EDIT::
I know a lot of them are not open this early in the season. I'm looking for the ones that are. I know they are open because people have been putting up sidewalk signs for them, I'm having a hard time remembering where and when they are.
Thanks again.

Like the Beatles? Like radio? You're in luck.
Sorry to be an advertisement, but I find this interesting. KHITS 106.7 is playing Beatles today. All of them. Alphabetically. You can listen online too at www.khits1067.com

I like this kind of thing because you get such an odd mix. The Beatles have a lot of variety, and you hear some songs that are just so odd they never play. They're still having commercial breaks, but I'm one of those folks who don't mind that, and I'm sure some of you are too.

(If you're curious they started at 9 and just entered the Bs with 'Baby it's You'.)

Google coolness
So yesterday I went all postal on gas prices and the failing economy. Just to prove that I am not a total n00blette to the idea of public transportation i present to you

http://www.google.com/transit

it's pretty hot. so a big "pfft" to all you nay-sayers out there that said I shouldn't complain about gas prices or that my child should deal with public transportation.

thank you and good day.

oh and i'm sure some of you already knew about this, but others may not...

this is probably a long shot but I figured it might be worth a try
Okay seeing as a lot of those bike rental places kind of gouge you, I thought I'd ask JUST IN CASE someone had a bike I could borrow for a friend the weekend of the 14th. Looking for a frame anywhere between 52cm and 56cm, I'd be happy to hit you with a $20 for the weekend, any takers?

HDMI help
** EDIT: [info]nblsavage FTW! Got one from Big Lots for $12. Gold plated, six foot. **

So my house now has hi-def LCD fancyness, but I need to get an HDMI cable to enjoy it's full bounty. I walked into Fred Meyers to get one and was quite shocked to discover that they cost almost FIFTY F_CKING DOLLARS. Radio Shack was the same.

I'd really like to get a cable this weekend, so in town is ideal, but I'll order one off the intertubes if need be.

It's a pretty solid fleecing of the general public, IMHO - sell a $3 cable for $50. Go Retailers!

...and have a delightful weekend everyone! :D

current state: hopeful

all ages music
The OLCC is resubmitting their proposal for mixed age venues, and you should get out there and support that endeavor in whatever way you can, but until such lovely times come back to us (yes, Ptown used to have mixed ages shows, when I was underage)...

...come to the all ages show tonight at Rererato!

Whether you're over 21 or under, it's a good way to get your evening going early.

Music by

Sad Music for Happy Humans (myspace.com/sadmusicforhappyhumans happyhumans.org)
Celestville
Smoke and Mirrors

It's suggested donation of 4$, but no one is turned away, at an intimate artspace in the alberta district (5135 NE 42nd Ave).

Sad Music for Happy Humans goes on first at 7, show ends promptly at 10, beverages are available, but not the alcoholic kind!

Hope to see you there!

Medical Care Help
Hi,

I'm new to the LiveJournal and community. I looked through the memories, but didn't see much outside of Outside-In and I'm over 30, so no-go.

Anyway, I've had some rough abdominal pain for the last 4 days. I'm 30 days away from getting health care through work (typical). I can afford around a hundred or 150, but I don't even know where to go. Can anyone point me to a doctor in downtown or SE?

**EDIT: I went to Urgent Care and will survive. Thanks for your help.

How do you sleep?
 I'm bored at work. So here is a question. What are your sleep quirks/habits/etc? 

I can't fall asleep with tv/radio on. I have to have as much white noise as possible. Fans/machines. I like it to be as dark as possible and cool. I only sleep on my side. Sometimes I do the pillow between the legs thing if my back is bothering me...my chiro says do it all the time, but I don't. And I like to "hug" a pillow. Oh and ever since I got rid of my alarm clock, I sleep so much better. I don't usually need it to wake up, so I just use my phone...and I'm not checking the clock all night to see how much sleep I'm missing.

Now you.
