It pays to plan ahead: July 13-15

Friday, July 13th through Sunday, July 15th will be a weekend for the ages:

Friday after work head to the North Park Blocks (gates open at 4pm) for the Portland International Beerfest.
Get to PGE Park by 7pm for the Timbers match against the Victory. Party with Timber Jim and the Army post-game at the Bullpen patio.
Wake up Saturday and head to the Mississippi Street Festival, which begins at 10am and runs until 7pm. Spend the day sipping blended margaritas, listening to various bands, and getting a sunburn.
That evening head back to the Beerfest, if you have the energy/capacity.
Get yourself a big breakfast (I recommend a Bloody Mary and a full order of biscuits and gravy at Kelly’s Olympian) . . .
And get your ass back up to PGE Park by 6pm to watch the Timbers vanquish (in all likelihood) the Victory once again.
