SE 9th Ave, between Belmont and Madison will be closed to traffic and there will be food, music and art from inner SE Portland purveyors of goodness to support the "emerging creative scene in the Central Eastside industrial area." The details of the event (band and booth/vendor list etc.) are still being worked out, so here is the Block Party Vendor Agreement if you are interested in participating. The team at The Art Department, a gallery and event space on SE 9th, is putting the Block Party together. Their mission is very close to our hearts, they work to differentiate their space "from traditional galleries and instead focus on onetime events and exhibitions with artisans and creatives who are defining the local aesthetic." Definitely check them out and, who knows, maybe put on an event of your own.]]> http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/09/05/and-on-the-fourth-day-a-block-party/feed/ 0 Wednesday, Sept. 15 Lineup http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/31/wednesday-sept-15-lineup/ http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/31/wednesday-sept-15-lineup/#comments Tue, 31 Aug 2010 22:40:29 +0000 erin http://thenewcommunicators.com/?p=701 View the full Wednesday lineup of events.]]> http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/31/wednesday-sept-15-lineup/feed/ 0 Thursday, Sept. 16 Lineup http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/31/thursday-sept-16-events/ http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/31/thursday-sept-16-events/#comments Tue, 31 Aug 2010 22:19:51 +0000 erin http://thenewcommunicators.com/?p=690 View the full Thursday lineup of events.]]> http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/31/thursday-sept-16-events/feed/ 0 Friday, Sept. 17 Lineup http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/31/friday-sept-17-events/ http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/31/friday-sept-17-events/#comments Tue, 31 Aug 2010 22:15:55 +0000 erin http://thenewcommunicators.com/?p=677 View the full Friday lineup of events.]]> http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/31/friday-sept-17-events/feed/ 0 Should you RSVP for events? http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/23/should-you-rsvp-for-events/ http://thenewcommunicators.com/2010/08/23/should-you-rsvp-for-events/#comments Mon, 23 Aug 2010 18:17:44 +0000 erin http://thenewcommunicators.com/?p=627 In short, yes. RSVPing for events is helpful to the organizers so they can work out logistical issues, like how many chairs to rent. Some venues have limited space and if the attendee list nears the limit and the organizer is required to check names at the door, then those who RSVP'd get first seating. Seems fair, right? Sure it does. And what's a couple button clicks in the grand scheme of things? So, go on and RSVP by clicking on the link on each event page. Ultimately, it's up to the event organizer whether or not they want to check names at the door. So like my grandmother used to say, better to be safe than sorry.
