PDXPipeline on TwitterIf you tell me you don't like Twitter — I'll look you right in the face [probably a bit too closely] and say "Give it time."  If you're a Twattict (Twitter addict — yeah, I made it up) like myself and the other PDXPipeline crew members, then you'll love this event.

Tomorrow night, at the Green Dragon, a dramatic Twitter reading will commence — titled What The Shit. This will be an event that allows us all to finally connect faces to at-signs and hashtag trends. We all have literary, Twitterverse and knitting Queen, Melissa Lion, to thank for the organizing.

Portland's Favorite Southeast (SE ) Bars | 20+ Suggestions

(Out at SE bars this weekend? Here are 75+ Portland Weekend Events & Parties + Win Free Tickets | May 21-24)

SE Portland has a serious bar culture. Many of us get to know our Bloody Marry at Ladd's Inn Restaurant & Bar by you.future former boyfriends & girlfriends at these wonderful establishments. I've asked our twitter and facebook friends their thoughts on the subject & 20+ people have responded. So, if you haven't spent much time checking out the SouthEast, now you know where to go & get a nice Oregon beer.

For these purposes, we do include any bar on the South-side of East Burnside.

If you want to know more about these bars, I suggest the BarFly & Urbandrinks.
