Roots Brewing: 1520 SE 7th Ave ( website ) According to Amy Ruiz, the Mercury will also be at Roots (it seems Clinton isn’t the new venue, but the “second venue”). Double capacity last time, so get there early. “You’ve been warned“
Virginia Cafe: 820 SW 10th Ave, Portland (Myspace here)
I was at the Virginia at the last debate. Good drinks (make it a double for $2 more), good food (PB&J plus bacon), and good times.

I am so glad that senator Obama is trying to prevent all kinds of deceases like diabetes and hart deceases. Another thing why would McCain try to prevent obesity when it will even happen if you don’t try to prevent it.

Well, after watching the final debate it has been confirmed to me that McCain is nothing more than that little brat who urinates in peoples swimming pools to stop them having fun.
A person with nothing real to say and definately someone with absolutely nothing to add or contribute. And for as long as he has been in politics I would have to view him as one of the problems with Government, not someone to rectify the problems.
Time to move on or over, young blood is needed, not someone needing transfusions.
