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.

Yes yes yes, explosions and dragons. Sure, there is a massive history here and it is deeply meaningful and all that. But .. .

DRAGONS AND EXPLOSIONS!

The webmaster was going to spend a few minutes formatting this and so on, but there was a neglected bottle of shiraz he had to adopt. So here is the mail the coordinator of this event, hosted by a friend of Drunken Rampage.

Saturday, February 9th
-Year of the Rat-
Chinese New Year Magical Birthday Tour
***********************************************
One of our mates "0" birthdays takes place in early February, so
help her celebrate!

Everybody will end up a year older, but happier, and luckier and demon-free.

"In traditional China, individual birthdays were not considered as
important as the New Year's date. Everyone added a year to his age at
New Year's time rather than at his birthday."
Chinese New Year Customs:

COSTUME:
--------
Asian inspired, red and gold
Bring a demon mask and/or horns

Here is an Oni demon mask to print and cut out:

Toy Chest !
Saturday Feb 2nd 10 pm East Burn 1800 SE Burnside Go downstairs unless you want to eat a fancy dinner Where else in Portland can you play 25-cent Skee Ball or race electric cars for free with a cocktail in hand? Please let us know. The patio here trumps almost all smoking patios with overhead heaters, swinging chairs and mini fire pits built into the tables. Perfect for a Toy Chest theme, don't you think? Find your favorite childhood toy, and recreate it into an adult sized costume. I would love to see a naughty rainbow bright, or find out if GI Joe's package really is made out of plastic. I would love to see hungry hungry hippos, or a barrel of monkees. What about a mid-evening duel between luke and his father... Get your thinking cap on and bring it. Skee ball people!!!!gmpportland@gmail.com. To find out more visit myspace.com/gmppdx or join our email listserv http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GMPPortland/
LEAP DAY MAX JACK - 2 trains, 2 soundsystems. Sponsored by the Communication Research Laboratory, progenitors of Max Jack for 6/6/06. You, um, kinda have to do some snooping around BECAUSE WE KNOW NOTHING! Our suggestion is to sort of drift near a place where trains happen to be, and wait. Our bet is something around 8 or 9-ish. The coordinators of this non-DR event swear it won't be hard to figure out which MAX trains have the parties.
