You all know how much we at the Mercury adore the Enchanted Forest. So it’s with equal measure of pride and joy and trepidation and protectiveness that I found out that BarFly is making one of its infamous bus trips down to the treasured landmark attraction on Sunday Sept 27. On the one hand, sounds like fun, and an affirmation of my belief that the Enchanted Forest should by right be fully embraced by Portlanders in all its idiosyncratic, DIY glory. On the other hand, it sounds like a big crowd of pre-funked adults traipsing through the landscape of children’s nightmares. Any which way, you can get a ticket to ride the 21+ bus here.


I hope these dorks don’t ruin it for the rest of us.
