Hey everyone,
Lots to tell you about this weekend so lets get started.

That’s right, it is that time of year again! 
Starting today (Thursday June 11) and running through to June 27th is the festival of Portland’s World-Renowned Bike Fun, Pedalpalooza.

The festival is put on by Shift, a informal local group of bikers united by “a shared passion for the bicycle in all its glory: as toy, as transportation, as a tool for social and environmental change!”  You can see from the calendar on the main site linked above, this is a massive event with everything from the practical (repair and legal clinics), to networking (Business on a Bike meeting 6/19 at 3:00), to the ridiculous (many polo and jousting events), to the sublime (Kidical Mass) and of course the endearingly insane (Zoobomb on Sunday nights!)

McMenamins is a well-known classic among Portlanders. With locations all throughout the Portland Metro Area, most anyone can appreciate their hand-crafted beer and menu selections. One special feature of McMenamins includes their Theatre Pubs where great flicks, handcrafter brews and classic eats come together. Mission Theatre is conveniently located in downtown NW Portland. This theatre is one of my favorites; featuring both ground floor and balcony seating for an enjoyable evening. Every Wednesday night is Mission Theatre’s classic Burger, Beer & a Movie for $10.50. In addition, Mission Theatre occasionally hosts NW Film Festival events, live music and select football games. St John’s Pub located in North Portland is also a well-known spot, hosting theatre-goers with comfy couches and plush theatre seating. I do not want to forget one of the oldest theatre pubs and classics; the Baghdad theatre located in Portland’s SE Hawthorne district.

For show times and locations please call McMenamin’s Theatre line as (503) 249-7474.  There are also additional McMenamin’s theaters, restaurants, and hotels in h Portland Metro area which can be viewed on their website at http://www.mcmenamins.com
