--> So, I had Caleb over last night, and we talked a bit about Apotheke's new location and plans. I don't think I'm spilling the beans or anything, but here's what's up with that:

It's not going to be a bar like the last joint. It'll be more focusing on the retail of beer/cured meats/and fine cheeses. There will be an area to eat and drink what you bought, with a nice sound sys, but it'll be much more chill than the last location. Lots and lots of interesting beers!

The new location will be in North Portland. The final deal hasn't been made, but it's pretty much set and planned out. It'll be on Williams St, in a larger building that's housing a vegan restaurant, yoga clinic, and a hair salon. It looks like all will be ready come Feb/March of '08.

Aleatoric will probably happen again there, but I'll need to get a lay of the land first, after speakers are up and whatnot. It'll be different from the previous Aleatoric at the original location, but with the same chill electronic vibe.

So, that's all I know. I thought all you locals would like the skinny!


Oh, and off topic, for all of you PDXers: I'm having my birthday party here in SE side of town this Friday (the 30th). Here's the plan:
6:30-9:00= Food and drinks at the Green Dragon Ale House (928 SE 9th @ Belmont)

9:00 on = Holocene (1001 SE Morrison)- $10 cover


Hope some of you local EMers can make it out ...

well, as long as idealistic college students keep moving here in droves with their plans to live vegan, organic, and environmentally friendly with our award winning mass transit... there will be a need for more vegan restaurants, yoga clinics, and farmers markets.

will there be liquor too?

i sure hope so.

Nope, no liquor. It costs too much for the license, and when you get one for hard alcohol, there's a chain of others he'd need to buy again (insurance and whatnot). Just beer, meat, and cheese. Beer licenses are cheap and easy to maintain in this city.

deltasleep said: ""housing a vegan restaurant, yoga clinic, and a hair salon."

HAHAHAHA. Portland cracks me up. Just how many vegan clinics and yoga restaurants can one city support?"


62... and counting. mathematical models suggest at their current growth rate, two years from now 100% of all Portland businesses will be vegan yoga salons.

There is in fact a yoga studio/vegan restaurant hybrid.

Aaaaghhh...they're mutating!

sweet jesus

yoga/restaraunts are not a product of natural mutation, but genetic modification.

mapmap: theres some hardcore beers.. a local brewery up here makes a scotch ale thats 9.2%

Black Boss Porter is one of my favorites out of Poland, and it's 9.4%, but it really doesn't taste that strong at all. At one of the early Aleatorics I drank 3 of them, and got fucked up! I left my credit card at Apotheke, and showed up the next day at like 5:30 pm hungover still in my PJs. Caleb made fun of me :-( Yeah, I can be a wuss ...

yeah, i am aware of crazy strong beers. i just liked the huge variety of liquors Caleb had on hand.
like the Douglas Fir stuff... kind of like drinking Pinesol

...but not as dangerous.

Yes, I'll miss the chartreuse. It would be nice to drink some liquor made by monks before going to yoga to eat vegan prawns.

I'm starting to get a little excited for 2008 with all these EM411ers moving to pdx and a new Apotheke and of course the 5 new vegan yoga clinics that will pop up by then.

hopefully we will have enough McJobs to go around...
