PLAY CARDS, LAUGH, JUST SIT & LISTEN, AND EAT HEARTY
There's so much to do in and around Portland that makes us special.
Like blackjack? From April 27-29 the Chinook Winds Casino is sponsoring a tournament with $40,000 in prize money. This Resort is located in Lincoln City, a beach town about two hours driving time from The Fulton House.
Is comedy your thing? On the evening of May 16, John Oliver of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" will appear in the Heritage Ballroom at the Governor Hotel in a fund raiser for young people. Spendy at $150 per seat, but for a very worthy cause, "New Avenues for Youth." You can also enjoy laughs at live theaters --"Beyond the Fringe," a British farce about capital punishment, WWII propaganda, stupid media people and Shakespeare; "Don't Dress for Dinner," a French bedroom farce; "Mail Order Bride," a Charles Mee comedy; or "The Theory of Love," a musical romp. Call John or Wendy at 503-892-5781 for details.
How about some music? Norah Jones and the Handsome Band are coming to town and tickets are certain to go fast; tickets for Pink Martini are on sale now for a two-day May appearance; Brad Paisley does his thing in nearby Vancouver (WA), also in May; and if you're classically inclined, the Portland Baroque Orchestra will give a concert in Stevenson (WA), about an hour's drive from Portland. Information and tickets for the first three events are available now from Ticketmaster (503-224-4400); for the last event, call 509-427-7047.
Portland's restaurant scene is boiling! The inaugural Food Network Awards 2007 has selected Portland as the "best food destination in the nation." We deserve the award, with dozens and dozens of restaurants to suit every taste and every budget. Also, Gabriel Rucker of Le Pigeon has been named one of the country's "Best New Chefs" by Food and Wine magazine (July issue)
One further thought.... If you live anywhere from Vancouver B.C. to Eugene OR and are sick of driving or flying, you might try Amtrack's Cascades train. They're currently running a sale from Portland to various cities (Seattle, Eugene, Bellingham and Vancouver B.C.) which also might apply from these cities to Portland.
