Can’t Stop The Serenity, some useful info

As we draw ever near the event, this Saturday, June 26th, we thought it best to put some handy info front and center.

This year’s Can’t Stop The Serenity event is occurring at the Clinton Street Theater, in Portland Oregon.
Theater is located at:

2522 SE Clinton St Portland OR 97202

This is one block south of Division and is roughly at the intersection of Clinton Street and Southeast 26th Ave.
A map to this and specific event info, located here.

Event Size and Tickets
Of course we are hoping to sell out! The fact of the matter is that there are three different shows, and not everyone is going to every showing. We will not oversell the event, but we do hope to achieve capacity if at all possible. What tickets we do not sell during our advanced sale, will be available day of at the box office beginning an hour before doors open and will be sold until the last screening of the event. We will be able to take cash and credit at the event.
To buy online now, go to our General Store

Area Food and Beverage
This area of Clinton Street is a bit of a nexus of great restaurants, bars and cafe’s.
Due to limitation of space and not to color the proceedings, we’ll let Urbanspoon be your guide.
Suffice it to say, there’s tons to eat and plenty of options for everyone, within walking distance and/or a short drive, if you are skipping out on one of the screenings.
As to the immediacy of service and what you can get, that can depend upon crowds and time of day. A little advanced research should yield some handy choices.

Parking
Parking for this event is basically street parking. We don’t believe there are time limits on parking, and the theater itself is actually located in a residential neighborhood, so the parking is fairly plentiful, but you may have to walk 3 or 4 blocks, depending upon your arrival time. Clinton Street theater is also very near a few bus lines, so please consider this an option. The neighborhood is also very bike friendly, as Clinton street is one of the major bike thoroughfares in the city.

Weather
As far as we can tell currently, and until we have better control over the PDX Browncoats (patent pending) Master Weather Control System, should be a slightly sunny, and temperate low to mid 70 degrees Fahrenheit sort of a day. So ambling about, stretching your legs, getting something to eat, etc, should be a pretty shiny experience, we’re thinking. . .

Cashy Money and Credits
Thankfully this year, we believe we’ll be able to process credit and debit cards for tickets and merchandise at the event. However, cashy money, never hurts, and is always good to have on hand. There is an ATM located in the Clinton Street Pub and inside the Theater as well. There is also an ATM machine at the Plaid Pantry on Southeast 26th and Division which is one block north of Clinton.

Post Event Shindig!
After the Special Hell Screening, we’ll be going across the street to Dots! For a stomping old Browncoat post-event madness type of affair. This is open to everyone and is guaranteed to be fun! Dot’s is a cash only establishment, so please keep that in mind, before striding in and ordering far too much Mudder’s Milk. See you there!

That’s most of the goods, if you have questions or comments please be sure to leave them in the comments, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
