What's Up

First Thursday for June

June, 5, 2008

Our June First Thursday was smashing. The party was in collaboration with 55 DSL and BPM magazine. 55 DSL is a brand we carry in our store and they’re based out New York. They wanted to have a couple west coast parties this summer to get more people aware of their brand, so where else better to have it then their #1 carrier in Oregon, Lizard Lounge. We held a raffle in the store to win five limited edition t-shirts from 55 DSL for a little added bonus. People dig the bonus.

BPM Magazine also sponsored the event. BPM is a magazine incorporates fresh coverage on progressive music, DJ culture, consumer technology, fashion, art, and nightlife. Check it out! If you are a fan of Flight of the Conchords, they had a great little bit on them in the latest issue.

Our featured DJ’s were Beyonda, one of Portland’s most popular DJ’s and Stretch Armstrong, a very popular DJ out of New York. BPM Magazine flew him in from NYC to DJ at our party. Both sets were amazing!

Out featured artist for the month is Chris Haberman, a local celebrity in the art industry. He’s a working writer, painter and musician native to the Portland area. He has shown artwork around town for the last 5 years. His art is very urban and focuses on Portland’s culture. It was a hit at the party, his fan base is incredible and there were tons that showed up.

Drinks provided by Widmer Brewing and Cork Wine Shop. Always a good time with good beer and wine around!

If you happened to have missed this event, we have a lot more to come, every month as a matter of fact. If you want to know more about our events you can sign up on our email list in the “nuts n’ bolts” page and we will keep you in the loop on all events.
