I love the work that the McMenamn brothers have done in Portland.
I should keep that in mind, as I've been thinking about a trip up that way.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Thanks, Brenda.
Laura, it's a must in my book. It's fun to stay there during a concert, & can be a rewarding challenge to get a room at the same time. Here's the 2023 concert schedule: [link]
David, the Crystal Hotel is adjacent to the Crystal Ballroom, still a music venue, where the dance floor is mounted on springs so dancers' legs don't get tired as quickly as flat floors. All the rooms are decorated with musical artists info. Soaking pool underground in the basement. The attached restaurant is called Al's. It's about 2 blocks from the Portland Whole Foods.
Though I now prefer the NW Hostel, by Hosteling International. So Easy to get there from airport, & easy to get around by light rail, I've stopped driving there. Nicer feeling re walking around NW by yourself on a late summer evening for a cone at the original Salt & Straw.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Salt & Straw! I could NOT remember the name
