"Pioneer Place" does not equal "Pioneer Courthouse Square". D'oh!

I was just about to email you the rumors I have heard. But it looks like you are on it. How much do we trust the internet?

Miranda on July 14, 2009 at 6:12 PM

Thanks, bix. I'm from here, I swear.

Miranda, I first saw it on your twitter! You know, I work at a newspaper, and I totally don't think crowd-sourced news can ever be an effective replacement for traditional reporting, or anything, but that said, I kinda feel like I wouldn't mind having a beer at Valentine's at around 11, like whatever, I'm just hanging out downtown on a Tuesday, and then since I'm in the area anyway, well... would it hurt to stop by?

Alison Hallett on July 14, 2009 at 6:21 PM

Right, I know. I have an awful cold though and am debating whether or not it is worth sacrificing my health to stay up late and maybe be suckered in to NOT seeing Dave Chappelle. Should I be a grown up? Or not? The great debate.

Miranda on July 14, 2009 at 6:26 PM

I believe it enough to pack up my camera gear and go down there at midnight just in case. I saw him in seattle a few years back and it was amazing. This will be equally amazing if it's true....

I hope there will be a taco truck there.

It would be a smart place for a taco truck to be.

Just sayin'.

Alison Hallett on July 14, 2009 at 6:33 PM

If the source is the one who said "Pioneer Place", then maybe that's where it is... in the mall.

The One True b!X on July 14, 2009 at 6:34 PM

It could be awesome just to stand around with a couple hundred (or more?) people in the square at midnight, collectively feeling duped. Then we all shake heads, high five, and go out for another beer.

"If the source is the one who said "Pioneer Place", then maybe that's where it is... in the mall."

Nope, that was definitely on my end.

@carissa
my thinking exactly. if that's a worst-case scenario? i'm okay with that.

Alison Hallett on July 14, 2009 at 6:50 PM

I agree. I imagine sort of a boozy flash mob of vague disappointment.

Ben Coleman on July 14, 2009 at 6:57 PM

There is a free comedy show at Dante's at 9. I'll be there and check out pioneer square afterward.

RocketSauce on July 14, 2009 at 7:48 PM

nick cannon...he's hilarious

mikehawk on July 14, 2009 at 8:08 PM

i just talked to the head of the square and he said that no permits were pulled for an event, the square closes at midnight, so anyone that shows up will be asked to leave

phillycheesestaekguy on July 14, 2009 at 8:15 PM

i just spoke with the head of the square and he told me that no permits were pulled for an event tonight, the square closes at midnight, so anyone that shows up at 12 will be asked to leave

phillycheesestaekguy on July 14, 2009 at 8:19 PM

from a friend of a friend... "there is a stage being built right now."

RocketSauce on July 14, 2009 at 8:23 PM

the stage was built for noon tunes today. it sits through thursday for the noon tunes then

phillycheesestaekguy on July 14, 2009 at 8:28 PM

mikehawk on July 14, 2009 at 8:39 PM

I remember when everyone poo poo'd the Beastie Boys on Mississippi st. rumor a few years ago.....

dieselboi on July 14, 2009 at 9:02 PM

check the last comment on the thread over at pipeline. the most confirmation yet. i'd count on it.

dmartinez on July 14, 2009 at 9:04 PM

whoops, here's the link: http://pdxpipeline.wordpress.com/2009/07/1…

dmartinez on July 14, 2009 at 9:05 PM

It's true I went. I went there at 11:15 when hardly any one was there yet and by 1 am I was gone. I'm just about to get in my car when someone on a cell phone walks by and says he is there. I went back. I was practically on the stage, opposite side of him, none the less practicall on the stage and couldn't hear him. The only thing that seemed to be going on were the naked people standing on the starbucks roof! Haha

I liked Dave Chappelle more when he was an actual comedian who did, like, stuff, instead of the mythical unicorn he's become since his Comedy Central show mysteriously collapsed.

Earnest "Nex" Cavalli on July 15, 2009 at 2:34 AM

The picture on this post makes Ezra>Dave Chappelle in my tiny, blackened heart.

Miranda Radik on July 15, 2009 at 3:07 AM

jimmy09 on July 15, 2009 at 1:28 PM

where are all those people that said this was a hoax yesterday? I'm looking at you "phillycheesestaekguy".
