Thank You Portland! Food Lover’s Guide to Portland Book Launch Party
July 2nd, 2010
The dessert table pre-party...
So much has happened since I last posted. I really don’t know where to begin so I think I’ll start with what’s consuming my thoughts just 100 percent today — my book launch party last night for Food Lover’s Guide to Portland at Fortune Tattoo. I know it’s probably dorky to say but last night was one of the best nights of my life. I’m beyond happy that so many friends, fellow food folks and complete strangers came out last night to celebrate. It was magic. Loving life right now.
((ATTENTION: My boyfriend, Tyler Adams, no longer co-owns Fortune Tattoo. Visit his North Portland shop — Grizzly Tattoo — which opened June, 2011! For more info. visit www.grizzlytattoo.com, 503.265.8146. Grrrrrrrizzly!))
I’m overwhelmed by the thought of describing the evening so I’m just going to post a bunch of photos for those of you who were there and those who couldn’t make it. It was a blast and couldn’t have happened without the overly generous food and drink donations as well as awesome help of my friends, boyfriend, Fortune Tattoo and of my publishing house Sasquatch Books. Thank you Portland. I love you more than ever!
And then it was on...
And on...

They got the Fortune Tattoo sign up just in time!

Before the perfect storm. Cheers to you! Thank you Portland!

Congrats, Liz! I’m in one of your pics holding a plate! Finding myself was kind of like a Where’s Waldo story. It was so crowded last night. Didn’t get a chance to say “hi,” but I did enjoy some fine food. Glad the opening went well and I plan on buying a copy of your book in the very near future!

Hey Katy! I saw you last night and tried to get to you but it was pretty dang crowded. So much fun! I’m so glad that you made it and hopefully got some of the good food and drink. Next time we see each other maybe we can actually talk!

Hi Liz,
It was great seeing you the other night. Congrats on the book. You did a very nice job and thanks for including our business. Oh, and the food was delicious.
Tea is Fun!

Thanks Quinn! It was great to see you and Katherine. Thanks so much for coming out. Glad to hear everything is going so well with Foxfire. Next time I’m in the neighborhood I’ll stop by.
