Portland — 2009-08-06T14:35:51-08:00

To the best of our ability, AIGA Portland will work to keep all parties informed of progress with the City and the Mayor's office regarding PortlandOnline.com. Johnny Levenson is currently away on vacation, but our board believes it is necessary to keep the discussion moving.

I will do my best to report until Johnny returns.

B-sides canceled - dMob lives on

Portland — 2009-02-11T09:24:45-08:00

That's right folks, since this town is so full of designers selling their top-notch A-side work, there were not enough B-side submissions to host our originally planned event. BUT that's not stopping us from hosting our standard dMob, same bat time, same bat channel. You know the drill, cocktails and conversation, beer and blabbing, wine and ...well you get it. No more dwelling on designs that will never be, time to celebrate that A-side work. Meet new friends and check out in one of Portland's hippest new venues, The Agency.
