The Catherine O'Hara Appreciation Ride, Brought to you by the People who brought you the Jennifer Coolidge Appreciation Ride
2024-08-10 01:30 - 04:00 UTC | Oregon Park NE Oregon St & Northeast 30th Avenue, Portland, OR 97232 Meet near the center of the park
The world is falling apart around us and I'm dying inside ... but not on this bike ride!

If there's one thing we need to learn, it's that you have got to take the upper hand in all situations or people--whether they're dead or alive--will walk all over you. If there are two things we need to learn, it's that an evening celebrating comedy legend Catherine O'Hara simply must be on your calendar of events.

I know you are positively bedeviled with meetings, etcetera, but join us on this casual evening neighborhood ride to scour the city streets for our lost precocious children, tend to our award-winning terriers, and practice that new 'Less is More' kind of acting, where when you're talking to someone you close your eyes, and then you look at them when you're not talking to the person. Along the way, we'll enjoy music from and inspired by Catherine O'Hara's flawless film and television appearances, promote our favorite local fruit wine vintners, and perhaps plot a kidnapping of the Sandy Claws.

Costumes very strongly encouraged.

Swimwear recommended. I can't really think of a Catherine O'Hara-specific reason for us to jump in the river, so we'll just say that's our tradition from the 2023 Jennifer Coolidge Appreciation Ride and leave it at that. I will not stop living and breathing art just because you need to relax. Don't forget a towel, unless you're alright with air-drying in the STREET.

Store stop at a local apothecary-adjacent chain retail business included.

I personally will be pleased to RSVP as ... pending.
