1. midnight supper + music fest northwest + throw me the statue + nick jaina band + the woods = september 19th : pdx.
caffe vita and one pot are taking the midnight supper franchise on the road. for the past three years we have closed out the capitol hill block party with a completely debaucherous feast of song, heavily laden tables of food, and deep pints of distilled spirit. this year we are honored to head south to invade the halls of portland’s most profoundly beautiful new venue – the woods – a re-claimed funeral parlor and a gorgeous place to spend an evening. the terribly handsome boys from throw me the statue and the nick jaina band will be offering up some late night music from the table. one pot is joined in the kitchen by nick castleberry (sitka and spruce) and our old friend jason french chef/owner of ned ludd. doors open at 11:00pm – parade of food begins at midnight – music mixed in here and there. party goes late. if you don't want to grab a reserved seat - just come on down for the festivities.
p.s. there are kexp/vita hosted performances goin on all day at the woods – langhorn slim, the lonely forest, etc – free and open to the public – click here for details….

2. night school at the sorrento continues… and gets bigger brighter and dirtier. october 4th = midnight symposium
midnight symposium number one: the f-word and the evolution of obscenity in the english language with jesse sheidlower (author of the f-word and the editor at large of the oxford english dictionary. )
first, these events start closer to 8pm, not midnight, but they often will stretch into the midnight hour. second, this is the beginning of a semi-monthly series that will include in-depth conversation focused on a specific topic, brown spirits, red wine, and a well-crafted stew.
the concept is simple: we will host some of the leading intellectuals, artists, and writers of our time for a casual course on a subject of their choosing. on oct. 4th 40 guests will take the elevator to the 7th floor penthouse of the sorrento, glasses will be filled, bellies will be sated and a late night symposium will begin.
*upon confirmation of their reservation guests will receive a pdf of required reading. in a symposium dialogue is encouraged.
$50/person. includes a hearty stew, a big bottle of whisky to be shared, and some wine. if you like to drink heavily we encourage you to bring additional bottles. for reservations email: nightschool@hotelsorrento.com
