Portland, Oregon housefilk?
Jun. 18th, 2009 05:43 pmWould there be interest in a housefilk in Portland (Oregon) in July? My apartment's property management company thought it'd be a reasonable use of our complex's rec room, so I thought I'd ask if people would like to come.
I'm thinking the weekend of July 25th and 26th, no preference on day. I'd probably want it to start around 1 or 2 pm and break up around dinner time. I could offer some out-of-towner crash space at my apartment, and my complex is on a Frequent Service bus line. We have limited visitor parking as well.
The downside: I'm not nearly good enough of a musician to anchor a housefilk by myself. I sing along with choruses, but I don't have a repertoire of my own stuff to sing nor do I play an instrument well enough to accompany anyone else without advance notice and sheet music. So basically, I would have a very sad time if the only people who showed up were me and my neighbors.
Would there be enough interest that I should get the ball rolling on this? If not, would changing the weekend help?
I'll make another post in a week or so to let everyone know for sure whether or not this is happening with an actual time and date included if it is.
