Just thought I’d write up a short report to the Farmer’s Market that started today down in the park. It was a nice day for it, and there were a fair number of people about. I was wandering around about 3:30… off the top of my head, there were: Beverages; … Continue reading
When Simone broke the news about the new free newspaper, the Bend Weekly, I guess I had it stuck in my head that it was an online-only thing. Nope! I saw the actual paper in a newsbox along side all of our other local publications, and picked one up. It … Continue reading
This Wednesday the 7th is the first Farmer’s Market in downtown Bend, in the Drake Park and Riverfront Plaza area. Every Wednesday through October, from 3pm until 7. And according to Shannon it’s also every Friday in St. Charles’ parking lot… I’m assuming the same hours. There’s no official website … Continue reading
Sad to say, I actually haven’t been to the theater in McMenamins Old St. Francis School yet. But I’ve been to some of their other theaters, and I know it’s a good deal. First of all, $3 movies! You don’t find that anymore. Second, seating is comfortable chairs and couches. … Continue reading

It covers the next three months, and includes non-Old Mill events—though Old Mill-specific ones are highlighted in orange text. Events are listed from June through August.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’ll be offline for the Memorial Day weekend—through Tuesday, actually. Hopefully everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend! And if you get bored, check out some of the sites I’ve put below under the "Links" heading.
This KTVZ event post reminded me about the Bite of Bend coming up next month, on June 17th (Saturday). This is a fun event, admission is free (though food and drink is not), and even has a live, local Iron Chef competition. This year’s live entertainment schedule will be: 11:00 … Continue reading
Simone suggests a good topic: a collection of wireless hotspots around town. Useful for the laptop set (or wardrivers). (She also suggested a rating system for them, but I’m not that far along.) Between us, we came up with a few: DiLusso’s: You need to access their site first when … Continue reading
We have a GIS (geographic information system) computer set up at work, fully loaded with Deschutes County data. One of the things I’ve found interesting is to data mine the system to find (among other things) all the parks in Bend (something you can also do with Google Maps), and … Continue reading
