good people share: 1019
dear good people,
sure, we’re all trying to accomplish new things on top of our nine-to-five, but there’s still time to take initiative and check boxes off the 2019 bucket list – like discovering a new food cart, buying (naming?) a house plant, minimizing distractions while driving, serving your community or dealing with an adult meltdown.
speaking of new things, i hope that portland subscribers will swing by the “gathering of [all kinds of people]” on october 19 (details below).
thanks for spreading the word about this monthly newsletter. feel free to send me names to add onto the distribution list and please let me know if you have suggestions for upcoming concerts or events. on the other hand, just reply if you would like to unsubscribe.

this friday, october 11: 6-9 pm @ marmoset music
umbrellaslang was created by TiRon and Ayomari, a hip-hop duo based in la, and has been growing across la and portland.
this is a gathering centered around live music, crowd participation and a discussion of current social, cultural and trending topics. it features performances, special guests and open bar.
gathering of [all kinds of] people
saturday, october 19: 4-6 pm @ freeland spirits
this first iteration is an informal get-together with a crowd that wants to talk, listen and learn about topics impacting our physical and digital community (light snacks provided).
the ensuing goal is to build something that’s purposeful, participatory and repeatable.
and to remain on theme, consider buying a ticket to see the black pumas at wonder ballroom later this night.
to learn more about what’s happening in portland, sign up for bridgeliner and “live like you live here.”
notable upcoming PDX shows//events
i’ve highlighted my monthly picks. give them a listen/look and consider buying a ticket to the show/event. maybe we’ll see each other there. and for those not living in portland, keep an eye on these artists since many of them are on tour.
