Lisa: My partner in Sacramento, CA and I (now in Portland) had a community radio show for the year of 2024 in Davis, CA at KDVS 90.3 FM.
We would play goth, industrial, soundtracks, scores, indie rock, and more. Kyle really liked playing music from mostly small shows (some medium) we would attend.
We are planning to have some of the focus be on the dead or death or related topics to honor The Day of the Dead in our own way.
If anyone has any requests to add to remember or honor their Loved Ones, we welcome those songs. Even if you don't think they fit with our music choices, we still welcome them.
Moorland is helping us with our route. Thanks:)

Exhibitor: Acre Knife

We are excited to host Acre Knife, a small team of bladesmiths crafting kitchen and outdoor knives in the St. Johns neighborhood!

They will demonstrate their new line of everyday hand-finished culinary knives and let shoppers try them for themselves.

About Acre

For years, a group of accomplished bladesmiths had devoted themselves to making exceptional knives. They had apprenticed, studied traditional techniques, experimented with materials, and developed their own methods. But they also knew how difficult it could be to build a life around that kind of work.

In 2023, Dane Tomseth set out to change that by creating a place where skilled makers could do serious work, earn a living, and keep getting better. That place became Acre Forge, a working production facility in North Portland’s St. Johns neighborhood where experienced makers share equipment, techniques, ideas, and a daily practice.

Their collective experience spans traditional Japanese techniques, modern design, metallurgy, ergonomics, culinary experience, woodworking, and machining. That shared foundation and the different paths that brought them to it is what shapes Acre’s knife lines: Macrum and Signature.

West Hills Roller Coaster – Fall/Winter Start Time

Description

On-line sign-in. Please sign-in, if possible before the day of the ride. If, on the day of the ride there are no riders signed in, then the ride may be cancelled regardless of the weather conditions.

Ride cancellations are possible October through February due to unsafe road conditions.

This ride may be cancelled due to rain.

Please check this posting on the morning of the ride before attending.

Come build strength or see something new by mixing the West Hills into your riding schedule. Each week we choose one of four low traffic routes varying from 19 miles/2000 feet of gain to 22 miles/2500 feet of gain. What we affectionately refer to as the Kiddy Coaster, the shorter route, but with less severe climbs, but still a bunch of elevation gain. We'll stay together enough that you won’t have to navigate thru all the turns. The ride starts at the west end of the Highway 26 bike path (near the Hwy 26/217 interchange), rolls up and down through the West Hills, and makes a stop to take in the views from Council Crest. The ride has a bunch of fun (and steep) “ups” that will challenge you, and “downs” that will leave you feeling like a kid again. E-bikes are welcome – bring a fully charged battery! Optional coffee stop near the end of the ride, so bring water and nutrition to get you over the hills.

  • Organizer: Cameron Bennett
  • Schedule: Meet at 8am, ride at 8:30am
  • Ride Length: 15+ miles
  • End Location: The scheduled portion of the ride will end at the sausage fest. Stick with the group to roll to the Hatfield (Hillsboro) MAX station after dinner, or ride home when you've had enough to eat and drink.
  • Location Details: Meet under the picnic shelter by the basketball courts
  • Audience: Adults (21+)

Would you ride in the rain for all-you-can-eat bratwurst? Let's enjoy some rolling (and likely rainy) miles to Verboort; the all-you-can eat dinner tastes way better if you ride there!

GETTING THERE
Meet at the Wallace Park picnic shelter near the basketball courts. Gather at 8am, departing at 8:30am - can't be too late to dinner. Pace will be spirited enough to stay warm but slow enough to not show up too sweaty. There will be a few regroup/snack breaks at the top of the climbs, as shown on the route.

THE ROUTE
Please be aware that there are some significant hills on this route, and we will be far from TriMet service at times. While this is a no-drop ride, you are expected to be self-sufficient! Bring enough layers and calories to keep yourself happy and healthy for the conditions. There are short sections of busy roads on route, but it is generally pretty low-traffic. There is a short section of gravel since it's the nicest way to get over the hill; you will be able to ride it on any type of bike.

Bring a lock, lights, rain gear, and some cash! Fenders are appreciated :)

THE SAUSAGE FESTIVAL
Dinner is $23, and there will be a wait to eat after we arrive. Luckily, there's a beer garden to pass the time in... There will be sauerkraut and sausage for sale. Make sure you've got the stomach and cargo capacity to take advantage of it all!

https://www.verboort.org/dinner

GETTING HOME
Worried about riding home? ...trust us, the MAX is the better option. We'll roll out as a group and keep the pace easy on our full tummies.

Yo! The fall is here and so are cozy and comfy mornings! Let's change that with a fun fall ride down south across the Canby Ferry and back! Our friend has a fun route that will start us off at the Beaverton Transit Center and ending at the Vera Katz Statue on the eastside of the river in Portland! We have a 51 mile route and 2,300 feet of climbing! Tough sauce! You know how we roll, faster and more adventurous with that no drop mentality. Around mile 26 there will be a lunch stop. Sleep in! We won't meet up until 10am, take the bus or MAX to B.T.C., and will roll out at 10:30. There is a $3 fee for crossing the ferry per bike so don't forget that along with your tubes and patch kit, lights, P.M.A., snacks, helmet, bike, Dude Luna, and those beautiful smiles! Hit us up on Instagram @cyclecatspdx if you have any questions! See you there!

ARTHACK @ ADX

PortlandMap

ARTHACK is a monthly evening of discussion for computer enthusiasts and artists, hosted at ADX in Southeast Portland. The group talks about and shares work that explores the intersection of code, art, hardware, and society -- generative work, creative coding, physical computing, hardware hacking, net art, and the social questions that come with all of it. Bring a laptop and you can share something on the open projector: works in progress, experiments, failures, and half-finished ideas are all welcome alongside finished pieces. No experience with either art or code is required, and there is no formal program -- it is an informal, conversation-driven night for people who like making things with computers. Free and open to all. ADX is at 417 SE 11th Avenue, Portland. https://artdesignxchange.com/events/arthack-mtd89-53dw5

Yo it's Backpack, I am leading the DBBC club ride for November because it's right around my birthday. It'll be pretty chill pace, accessible to all bicycles (feel free to ride a freak bike if you have one). It should be a relatively easy route (classic three stops: park -> store -> end). Ending with a campfire, free stickers, should be a good time. Bring your friends, bring your grandma, bring your dog. It will likely be chilly, so dress warm / pack layers. Be respectful to other riders! If a rando is being a weird let someone in the club know!

I am hoping to facilitate a casual game of mumblety-peg at the end spot. If you are unfamiliar with the game there's be no obligation to play.
Thank you, hope to see you at the ride!

Start spot: THE RAT - Rose and Thistle Pub House 2417 NE Broadway
Ride meets at 8pm on 11/7
Ride leaves at 9pm
