Free Summer Fun

As a new member of the ranks of the unemployed, I am always on the look-out for ways to have fun that don't cost a dime.

Here are two things you can do in this town for free:

Play Go, with the Portland Go club, every Tuesday night at Powell's books downtown. As seen in the movies Pi and Beautiful Mind. This ancient game from the mysterious orient will make your brain sweat! Every bit as rich in strategy and mesmerizing analytical complex-pattern crunching goodness as chess, but with a sort of Taoist philosophy governing it's tactics.

If thinking hard isn't your thing then check out Pedalpalooza going on all over town this month. This is basically a bunch of fun-loving bike nerds doing every thing from eating lot's of Tacos, to dancing, to being naked . . . on their bikes!

Oh yeah and don't miss the annual pub crawl : good beer and great beer-inspired crashes.
