August, huh? Hmm…I’d love to be there once I know whether or not I’m goign to be in San Jose beyond July.
BTW – Pat & Ko have a very nice place with a lot of birdies. Pat & Ko should charge rent, esp if Ko plans to cook. Yum yum. Ko’s cooking = divine. His cooking alone would be worth the money.
P.S. for those of you wanting to stay at a hotel…Portland is VERY affordable compared to other cities (I know cuz I travel too much), and some hotels I recommend are Heathcliff (where Ko works), Hilton Towers (a block away from Heathcliff – Hilton room can be had for as low as $99/night when I went there last time through Travelocity), Westin, Sheraton, and Marriott. Unfortunately, Portland does not have a W Hotel yet for those of you who like the W’s.
And she’s right, Portland is VERY affordable. But the offer still stands at floor space. We do have a basement, so if you don’t mind sleeping in a rather creepy space…well, my art studio is there, too. Then, it’s yours for the night(s)!
O how embarrassing! I meant HEATHMAN!!! I was keep thinking that Heathcliff didnt’ sound right, but I remembered how Ko’s hotel/restaurant sounds like the main character’s name from Bronte’s Wuthering Heights (and his name was Heathcliff…one of my favorite main characters of all time). X_X
People! The workshop will be on a Saturday, August 16 - not the 15th.
Yup, Stella: if people wanna check out my studio, they may!
If anyone plans to come to this and is traveling from outside of Oregon and would need a place to stay and does not want to spend $$ on a hotel room. Our place is available. Granted, bring a sleeping bag (maybe a pad) - but be sure to PM me or Ko! We’ll work out the details “offline”.
the bay area peeps will definitely represent for this one!!
Yo, Patricia I’ve been trying to PM youse guys all morning and T-world won’t let me
jaytruly and I would love to crowd you and ko for a weekend!! are there going to be bids for this prime space?? i’m putting a request in early then…
so, so, so inspired by the new tire flippin’ pics!! you’re the flippin’ best thing that’s ever happened to me to give me inspiration to give it all in the artroom and in the weight room (tho I’m new to the weightroom thing)
jay and i were hoping/planning on taking a trip up the coast before august… hope to see you guys then, too.
