(note: this post is purely cut&pasted from pdxpipeline. Just wanted to let you know where to go). Details of where to go after the jump.
If Sarah Palin performs at the VP debate like she did with Katie Couric, this will be FANTASTIC. New possible presidential bingo squares for Sarah are 1) Hockey 2) “Let me get back to ya” 3) Small town values 4) Bush doctrine
Also, if Joe Biden mentions Scranton more than twice, someone should ask him what happened to Dunder-Mifflin Infinity.

Mt Tabor Legacy: 4811 SE Hawthorne (really annoying 1997-looking website)
I spoke to the new owners Saturday night. They said they were going to screen it. If you like to smoke while you laugh (or cry), this is the place for you.
Kellys Olympian: 426 SW Washington St Portland, OR 97204 (website)
The played the Presidential debate last Friday. I don’t know why they wouldn’t have this one when it could be so much better (especially if Palin brings that assault rifle). Still, I called and emailed to no avail. I’ll stop by and update later in the week.
Clinton Street Theater: (website) 2522 SE Clinton St., Portland, OR 97202
Watch Matt Davis’ head explode and the rest of the Mercury staff get loaded at their “cool kids” (air apostrophes) debate party here.
Roots Brewing: 1520 SE 7th Ave (website)
Update: According to Amy Ruiz, the Mercury will also be at Roots (it seems Clinton isn’t the new venue, but the “second venue”). Double capacity last time, so get there early. “You’ve been warned“
Watch Online: If you can’t make it out to one of these events, you can watch online at PBS.





Sarah Palin is going to crush Joe Biden tonight because she is a Master Debater. Just check it out for yourself. The pic on this site says it all (scroll down once you get there):
