ADX is turning 7 years old! Come celebrate with us!

We’re closing down the shop starting at noon and reopening at 1pm to hold annual birthday party – this year’s theme: DEMO DAY! We’re staffing the shop tools with experienced makers and running demonstrations of the tools from 1-6pm. Never seen a CNC operate? Ever wondered how MIG welding works? Want to see the versatility of a printing press? We’ll take the mystery away and inspire you to make!

Since we’re turning lucky number 7 we’ll be holding a raffle at 6:30pm for some awesome ADX prizes, including memberships, classes, and merchandise! You can enter the raffle by purchasing a MAKER bingo card for $7 that lists all the demo’s being held throughout the shop. Attend 5 demos to complete your card and turn it in to be entered in the raffle!

Beer and cider will be free and provided by our sponsors. You can drink while watching the demos, but no hands-on tools! The event is free, but please RSVP here so we make sure we prep enough material and have plenty of beverages and snacks on hand!

PURCHASE BINGO CARDS IN ADVANCE to CHOOSE YOUR ADVANTAGE: an extra entry in the drawing, a free stamp on your BINGO card or an ADX sticker (one per person, please).

We cordially invite you to join us for a party to celebrate Calagator's second birthday. You are encouraged to bring desserts, food and code to share with others. You can buy drinks at the bar and bring/get takeout food from nearby restaurants. Yay!

Want to sponsor drinks? Please contact us at @calagator or on the mailing list.

Mark your calendars: on Thursday, October 16, CubeSpace marks our second birthday! What does this mean for you? A community-wide open house, with delicious food, great company, and some fun and games to boot. Current, former, and future members of CubeSpace are all invited, as are general well-wishers, curious onlookers, and newsletter devotees (hey, I can dream, right?). The festivities will be happening from 4 to 8 p.m., so drop by and help us ring in Year Number Three!

The Personal Telco Project is having its final meeting of 2012, and also celebrating its 12th birthday. Come join in the fun, and help fight for online freedom. Also, volunteer and help keep such an awesome organization that Google values at $16 million, and that delivers (according to a City formula) $2 million worth of services a year, alive and kicking.

Hard to believe, but it's been a decade of experimentation around how established organizations — like corporations, government, and educational institutions — can better collaborate with the Portland startup community for mutual benefit.

That's right. PIE is turning 10 years old in August 2019. So it seemed like a good time for a party. And our generous sponsors Autodesk (https://autodesk.com/) and SKB (https://skbcos.com/) volunteered to help us make it happen.

Join PIE, PIE Shop, our alums, our mentors, and the entire Portland startup community to celebrate this milestone. As part of the celebration, we'll be happy to feed you and provide you with a beverage or two. And there will likely be some PIE giveaways, as well.

NOTE: This is a family friendly event, so feel free to bring the kids.
