2008 Santacon Updates: North Portland, Downtown, Hillsboro

2008 Portland Santacon / Anticon

It appears that even though the official Santacon will be in Hillsboro (seriously, Hillsboro, wtf?), many Portlanders are seemingly not into roaming suburban strip malls in their Santa outfits and will be holding things down in the PDX. Specifically, an alternate Santacon crew will have an event in North Portland–The NoPDX Anticon.

You can help gentrify North Portland with white Santas at their website here(that was for you MD).

Also, if you like the old fashioned, possibly police-actioned Santacon, many people are still meeting at the Skidmore fountain.

Works IV at Intown Church: Music, Art, Spoken Word | December 3

I had not heard of Intown Church before this press release, so I am not sure what it is like on a normal Sunday or Wednesday. I do know they have some great music and art this Wednesday and it is free (donations accepted–it is a church after all).

Info from Matthew Curl:
Intown Church, Portland, Oregon, Works IV

Intown presents the fourth annual Works Night, an evening of visual art, spoken word and musical performances. An event that has become a favorite tradition of the arts community in Portland, Works Night showcases some of the best artists our city has to offer. Fourteen painters, sculptors, photographers, and filmmakers will be exhibiting work that examines this year's theme, which is "Change". Artists include Chris Haberman, Nicole Gekov, Jared Spafford, Beth Myrick, and many more.

In addition to the visual art, this year's event Read the rest of this entry »
