The topic of the evening was a brainstorming on where to point this group (locations for meetings, how to brand/advertise, ect). Great ideas were passed around like hot cakes and we’ll likely see some changes in the very near future. Thanks again for all that were able to make it out and helped make this group the wonderful collective that it is.
Thanks again for all that were able to make it tonight, lots of great ideas and it was super good to catch up with everyone.
Join us tonight. Help plan the future of PDXCritique. http://pdxcritique.com/?p=251
Tomorrow night! PDXCritique Social Hour/Planning http://bit.ly/aJ6oY http://bit.ly/seYwq come join in the conversation.
Back in April I got about half way through a review of a play I saw. I had decided that it would be good to begin posting my opinions for things I had experienced. I chickened out. I plan on finishing it and hitting “post” before the next PDX Critique meet.
I mulled over what happened and realized that while I’m good at throwing out verbal opinions in a group setting like PDX Critique where people can tell me directly that it’s ludicrous there is a hesitancy to put these opinions out in solid form. Partially because I know that through discussion I can be convinced that maybe __ wasn’t insipid.
PDX Critique is a comfortable environment to brainstorm ideas. It’s a back and forth with people exchanging and growing. I don’t know if the blog can capture that same sense but I’d like it to.
We’re meeting again on Friday, 8/28/09. I’ll post my theater review at least two days before that. Please don’t just read it and take it as script. Treat it like we do anything here at PDX Critique and speak your mind.
This could become a new way for people to present written work for feedback that is less tied to being able to make it on a day of the week. Since our next meeting is about the future of PDX Critique let’s experiment with this and see how it goes.
Next post within eight days…
PDXCritique Social Hour/Planning date announced: http://bit.ly/aJ6oY http://bit.ly/seYwq come join in the conversation.
We will be meeting Friday August, 28th at 6 pm at the Lucky Lab, S.E (Hawthorne) to discuss our future. We would love if you could join us and help us sort out meeting spots, what you would like to see happen with this group, meeting times and any other things that might be on your mind.
This is a social meeting, but if you have any things you need reviewed, we would love to help you out. Just let us know.

That’s a very good question. Summer hit most of the us that run PDX Critique like a ton of bricks. We lost our dearly beloved CubeSpace, ran into some health issues and two of us bought a house. All of which amounts to major time suckage. Enough with the excuses already though right?
We are all committed to the heart and soul of PDX Critique and hope to at very least have a social gathering for the month of August where we can sit around and discuss with our wonderful attendees what they would like to see the future of PDX Critique look like.
