Happy Thursday, y’all! We are T-minus 9 days away from Halloween, so I need you to open your calendars and GET TO PLANNING because Portland is SHOWING UP this year! I don't want to hear anyone say they had nothing to do, because I swear every bar, venue, and empty parking lot around town has something going on! We even put together a special Halloween edition of the newsletter to help you get started, so lock in, open the group chat, and get those plans penciled in. Halloweekend only comes once a year!

And to kick things off, I've even got a giveaway for you! Enter to win tickets to the Chaotic Singles Halloween Party at Moxy Portland Downtown on Friday, October 30th!
