I'd be down for this.  There have to be some some FOTs hiding around here.



I'll be at The Ettes show tonight if anyone is going...

I haven't heard anything else about it, but there is apparently a listening party happening here (http://thewaypost.com/calendar.php) at the end of the month.

Hey Everyone! 
     My friend Greg and I have organized a listening party on September 27th, at The Waypost: 3120 North Williams Avenue, Portland, OR.  It is a great cozy, friend-owned bar, and they have lots of food and beer choices. There is an outside patio as well, so we're going to have the show blasting in both areas. It'll even be happy hour from 6-7. We are taking a bit of a gamble, because Tom hasn't confirmed that he'll be doing the show that night, but we'll cross our fingers.  He's had a rough week and half.  If it's a fill in, we'll probably just watch the pledge drive DVD on the projector, and reschedule for a later show. We hope everyone can come out, and have a good time.  It'll be nice to connect with all the Portland F.O.T's
Here is a link to the facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=149954095092031 (https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=149954095092031)

Here's a link to the Waypost's event calendar: http://thewaypost.com/ (http://thewaypost.com/)

We are also thinking of burning a silkscreen with a shirt design.  You'll have to bring your own shirt, though.  I'll let everyone know if that's happening. Feel free to post with any and all ideas. Thanks.

I am the new manager/booker at the Mt. Tabor Theater, and am open to setting something up in our Sideshow Lounge as well in case folks wanted to rotate around to different venues.  www.thetabor.com (http://www.thetabor.com)

Hey Abe, 
     Your venue is across town from the Waypost, and our goal is to try and get as many FOT's in one spot as possible so we can all meet each other. It might be too confusing to have two different locations for the same show. Unless I read your post wrong, and you were offering up the Sideshow as another listening spot as a later date. Either way, we hope to see you on the 27th!
