The Playbook

Crush: Chehalem Harvest Getaway
Show grapes your wrath by becoming a vino-maker for a day at Chehalem Winery. You'll haul in the harvest, lunch on grilled meaty goodness from nearby Carlton Farms with your fellow vine-toilers, and enjoy two nights of well-earned discounted rest at the Brookside Inn, where you'll find free wine in your room, and once your girlfriend stops complaining about how much she hated hauling in grape harvests all day, a bottle to drink.
The getaway is available both this weekend and next, so hit up ChehalemWines.com to get the details and immediately feel 50% more rugged, and intoxicated

Made the Favorite 5: 442 Soccer Bar
1739 SE Hawthorne; Southeast; 503.238.3693
Created for those who like their football without the pointy ends, 442 cracked our Fave 5 Sports Bars thanks to its dedication to showing every Timbers game, plus a host of global matches, on three massive flatscreens, plus authentic Balkan eats like Bosnian-style ground beef/ lamb kebabs, and a pepper-heavy poultry dish called "red chicken", which crossed the road because he heard they had common ownership of the means of production over there.
Do some kind of fancy soccer move and go to 442SoccerBar.com to get the rundown of their killer menu

Hungry Eyes: Catching the Ox
From a couple local pro food-photogs seeking to stretch their creativity/ belt-lines, Ox is a gorgeous photoblog wherein shooters're assigned to create a shot prompted by food concepts as concrete as "sandwiches" (a tiny bulldozer building a hand-meal from Big Ass), and as nebulous as "hunger", which ended up being a dog staring at a huge plated bone, and not Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder picketing against it.
Swing on by CatchingTheOx.com and get a gander at some hunger-inducing (in one instance NSFW!) pictures

Also Made the Favorite 5!: Spirit of '77
500 NE Martin Luther King Junior, Northeast; 503.232.9977
Complete with old-school gym accoutrements (including a teacher you never feel completely comfortable around! working scoreboard!), Spirit augments traditional sports bar trappings with indoor bike parking, a line of hoops-shooting games, and a menu sporting old Topps cards and featuring killer mastication-creations like a burger enshrouded in sourdough known as the 'Frisco Melt, also what chicks and a few gym teachers in SF do every time Tim Lincecum shakes out his raven locks. Me-ow!!
Shoot and score over at SpiritOf77Bar.com, where you can enjoy one of the funniest sports bar blogs of all time

Play On: dabball
From a local creative powerhouse, free-for-iDevices dabball offers 400+ works from emerging artists (including Portlanders HUTCH and Ryan Berkley), which act as levels for a challenging dexterity-based Marble Madness-ish ball game, but can also be employed as wallpaper for your gadget or actual prints for your walls, an idea conceived after "a few days and many glasses of bourbon", at which point they were probably not very sweet at that challenging dexterity-based Marble Madness-ish ball game.
Swing by dabball.com and get some playable, browse-able, and frame-able art in the palm of your hand
