The Laurelhurst area (just up the street from us) is nice too, though the houses are more expensive. Inner NE, the Albert Arts district (97211) is up & coming too, as is the Sellwood area (97202). And the Theater Pubs are fabulous! It makes for great cheap entertainment. Regarding Halloween—the haunt is Baron Von Goolo’s Museum of Horrors and Something Else (something else changes year-to-year). It was The Petting Zoo of the Unsettling 2 years ago, and last year it was The Freakshow of Freakish Freaks. The haunt is a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, and the other folks are terrific. Tikitronic & I, TikiMaxton & the Mrs., and Maori-Man are (I think) the current TCers on board, and the haunt overall is populated by grown-up Halloween junkies, designers, and other creative types, so the quality & originality is much higher than average. But I may possibly be baised—look at the website (designed by Tikitronic!) and see if it looks like something you’re interested in. http://www.baronvongoolo.com/ Anyone who’s interested in being part of the fun can PM or email me & I can get you in touch with Dave, who runs the show. We’re actually having a brainstorming meeting tonight for next year’s haunt! Additionally, kingslod, if you’re going to be in town & would like to try & meet up with at least Tikitronic & I, feel free to PM or email! We might not have all the answers, but we’re friendly!
