Time to get serious, auction people, and talk post-party

You've got the babysitter, you're all dressed up, it's 10:00. WAY too early to go home... Let's start talking post-auction party. 


As exciting as it is to try a new auction venue, I am not alone in mourning proximity to the PPAA - site of some fabulous post-auction shenanigans.  And so I put it out there to you...where will you be taking the after-party this year? 


Consider the Driftwood Room at the Hotel Deluxe, half a block away. Kinda lounge-that-time-forgot, but also kinda Mad Men.  Or use local transit to change the scene - hoof it over 405, hop on the street car and head to the Pearl (after all, WWNRD can also mean WHERE Would Nancy Richman DRINK?) Or do shady customers and surly bar-keeps await you at the Commodore Lounge 2 blocks away?

Other suggestions? The floor is open...?

  1. "The 'floor' is open" sounds like a suggestion, too :)
    There's always the ol' Portland standby, The Alibi, for late night crooning (I hear there's quite the group of "singers" in the 3rd grade parental group) for those who like a mic; or, for those who didn't get an impressive dessert at the top of the Oral Auction - there's VooDoo Donuts, which I have heard is open 24/7... and its not really Lent on Auction night is it?
