The Bagdad Theater (3702 SE Hawthorne) is the spot. Admission is $3.00, doors open at 10pm. “The film starts at 11pm after a short trailer reel cobbled together from DVD’s, old 80′s TV ads, and various internet detritus deemed humorous enough.” [more]
Monday
Back in 1887 Oregon was the first state to officially recognize the Labor Day holiday, so it’s only fitting that to this day we throw huge Labor Day picnics throughout the state.
Portland’s big picnic takes place Monday, September 6 2010 at Oaks Amusement Park from 10am until 5pm. [more]
And all month long
