I haven’t blogged about COWPU in a while—possibly because there hasn’t been a meeting lately, or possibly because, er, it might have slipped my mind—but there’s a meeting this Wednesday, the 25th. Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 5:30pm G5 Search Marketing, 906 NW Harriman Street – Bend, OR 97701 Merb … Continue reading

It’s not definitive, but a list of the places that strike me as St. Patty’s-appropriate. And like last time, I’m … Continue reading
The next Renegade Rollergirls bout is coming up on Saturday, March 21st, and fittingly it’s leprechaun themed. The Renegades will be competing in a St Patrick’s Day themed event with two local Renegade teams in a no holds barred bout, full of hardcore skating abilities, wipeouts, bumps, bruises and cat … Continue reading

Well, good news today as KTVZ and a tip from AllAboutBend.com report that the Dinner Train is re-opening this month, under new ownership. The dinner train will kick-off its season of weekly train operations … Continue reading
