  Dependence Day!
America is still a colony of Great Britain, tea is the drink of choice for all colonists, gin, bowler hats, pipes and pith helmets. Art galleries and steampunk attire are likely, and uppitty colonists may declare war on you the next day. Pip pip, cheerio and see you there!

Ya wanna know about the UNSCHEDULED ones? Really? Sign up for our newsletter, and if we are somewhat sober when we are roped into them, we will let you know.

Hey! This crap costs money! Well, not the board, that's free, but the website hosting and name registration costs money, the cards and maps we print, the mailings to bar owners, bail. . . . point is, send us a couple bucks if you have the inclination. We will very likely apply your donation to website expenses or event expenses and NOT blow it on booze. Ok, somewhat likely.

February's Rampage

April's Rampage

--- Special note: you will need a ALL DAY Tri-Met pass for this event. If you already have one, fine, but if not you can purchase one for $4.25 at a MAX stop's vending machine, or various grocery stores, or online at www.tri-met.org ---

Simple concept: Get a bridal dress from a thrift store or something. A white one. If you don't show up in a white dress, you ain't coming along, you AIN'T COMING ALONG. If you bring a friend or a date or some stalkers, and they are not wearing a wedding dress, THEY AIN'T COMING ALONG. No wedding photographers, grooms, bridesmaids, caterers, etc. If all else fails, a white skirt and top, some random lacy bits tied on, and some flowers will fit the bill nicely.

Then just go with the flow. You will be group-wedded to various public art installations as the day goes on (see our Divorce Lawyers page for help undoing these nuptuals).

Carry a hangover kit, some cash, ID and probably some condoms, a shovel, five boxes of onion rings and a tri-met pass. Most people bring flowers, random wedding props and so on. You may be invited to be on the Low Commedy Show during this year's event. If any couples wish to have a real, actual wedding during this event please fill out the contact form and let us know (there is a really cool offer for you, but we promised not to blab it on the website ahead of time).

Meet in the parking lot at the zoo (it won't be hard to find the other Brides. Just look for the, uh, brides.) The event will end on or near a MAX line before the last train leaves, so you can get back to your car if you drive to the zoo. Of course, this is an abysmally stupid idea, you should not be near a motor vehicle for at least three days after drinking with this group of people, but hey, stupid ideas and wedding dresses go hand-in-hand.

This one is done by the Cacophony Society. Blame them for the stains and broken coxyx. The rest is your fault.

Time/Date:March 15, 3pm

Tips & Tricks:
Bridal gowns usually don't have pockets. Plan accordingly and get a purse. Also, those uncomfortable shoes that are unsuitable for walking long distances that you were thinking of wearing? Yeah, those. They make your ass look fat. Wear boots.

For last-minute updates, you really should join our mailing list. We are not great at keeping it up, but we do send out alerts when a great event is dropped in our lap, as well as monthly-ish updates.
