CocktailCamp 2010 is just over a week away and it’s time to break the radio silence we’ve been keeping over here. There’s a lot to say, we just needed to find the time to say it. To start off, here’s a rundown of some general information about the day.

Getting here

First things first, you need to get here before anything else matters. Getting to New Deal by car or bus is pretty straightforward but here’s a Google map to get you started. New Deal is located in an industrial neighborhood and on a Sunday there should be plenty of street parking on the surrounding streets.

Getting in

Don’t forget to print out the PDF ticket you received via email and present it at the door. If you can’t make it for whatever reason, feel free to give the ticket to a friend; tickets are fully transferable. If you bought a ticket but didn’t receive an email with a PDF, contact us and we’ll take care of it.

Just a reminder, CocktailCamp is a 21+ event. If you look young, please have your ID ready. Thanks for understanding.

Food and drink

We’ll have water available as well as coffee provided by Spring Creek Coffee, for those who need a little pick-me-up in the morning or after we break for lunch at 1:00pm. Lunch will not be provided, but we’re just a couple blocks from the Green Dragon on Yamhill and Lucky Labrador on Hawthorne, and there are a handful of other places not too far off.

After party

I know this event is going to make me thirsty, and I suspect I’m not alone here. For various legal reasons, we can’t have a bar at the event, but we’ll be making up for it by having an after party over at Clyde Common once the day wraps up. We probably won’t be able to finagle any drink specials for attendees, so this is actually less “after party” and more “everyone just going out for a drink”, but it will be happy hour so that must count for something. Personally, I don’t need any incentive to go to Clyde Common other than the fantastic drinks I know I’ll get there.

As always, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about anything that isn’t covered here, and continue watching this space over the next week for more information.
