Portland BrewFest Excursion INfo

Hey Portland Brew Fest Attendees...

I am putting together a quick excursion to be held during the Brewer's Festival. I would like to visit Mill Ends Park. With an area of 452 square inches, it is the world's smallest park and I think very much worth the 5 block walk from the Brewer's Fest for a visit.

I will be giving the tour and if there is enough interest I may be able to offer a group discount.

Please post here if you are interested.

Chex, what a wonderful idea ! It is so nice of you to inject some cultural and educational experience into this free-for-all drinking orgy!
Sign me up. I am sure the excursion will be a moving experience. Should I bring Kleenex?

I look forward to your next moving report in the "All I wanted" series: "All I wanted was to visit the World's Smallest Park". I'd appreciate accompanying photographs, please.

After seeing that picture, I feel like I've been there already, so I'll probably pass ... besides, are you sure we'll be able to get in the park with VSOI?

Hmmm..making the obvious contribution: if it is an 'orgy' then count me in...but it may takmore then just a kleenex to clean up...btw, chex: why the obsession w/SMALLEST things?

We could go to Forest Park, which is the largest wilderness park within city limits in the United States, but it's not walking distance from the festival!

I've been reading all of these posts that mention VSOI. I give up on trying to figure out what that stands for, would some kind soul fill me in.

Flakefan..... Flakefan. How about posting exact dates and times so those not as smart as you (e.g. my-bad-self) can understand what you are talking about...???
