Take a break and play some games! Guardian Games is hosting open boardgaming and demos all weekend!
They won't be selling games this year, but you can visit their retail store at 345 SE Taylor St (you should go, it's gamer heaven!)
What does it all mean, Elwood? If we told you, we'd have to utilize complex Riemannian equations to open a portal in space-time and send a horrible human-faced rat through the 4th dimension into your abdomen to eat you from the inside! Also, it wouldn't be much of a secret. This infamous screening includes classic and hilarious content too crazy to miss. Includes old standbyes (wink), plus new content every year. It's an end of the festival tradition!
Just you, dozens of Voodoo donuts, bagels, and coffee, and some of this Cosmos's most renowned Weird fiction authors signing books and taking names. Provisions are limited, so get there early and enjoy your blasphemous treats while rediscovering the ancient art form of tree pulp inscribed with the ink of sea creatures!
21 and up. Pull up a stool at the Moon & Sixpence pub (2014 NE 42nd Ave, about 2 blocks from the theater) for a rousing round of strong ale* and hearty singing of classic Innsmouth tunes with the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society crew!
* Or whiskey, or wine, or whatever beverage you purchase for yourself at the bar.
Go get some grub, but be back at 6:30! The theater closes for cleaning.
Our annual "Iron Artist" style competition puts the best Lovecraftian artists head-to-head to create a completed masterpiece in only 90 minutes, based on surprise elements pulled out of a hat! It's a crazy rush to create amazing one-of-a-kind art. Each piece is auctioned off, with 100% of the proceeds going to charity (previous charities have included AnimalAid Portland, the Hollywood Theatre's Youth Film Education program, and the Hispanic Federation for hurricane relief in Puerto Rico). Through this competition, we have donated over $2500 to those in need.
