Soup Nights are gatherings of people who want to eat and socialize. Meet new people, talk, watch movies, performances, listen to music or play games. Eat soup. Be happy.
Soup is provided by the host and should reflect current or cultural themes. Feel free to bring bread, wine, beer, cookies, or other edibles to share with everyone. Don't worry about anything fancy or being able to feed everyone.
As more and more people share the world becomes a souperior place.
We would like to see this become a regular event, happening every Thursday. Of course, obstacles could arise, like annoyed roommates, empty bank accounts or, dare I say, lack of interest. But let's be honest, how could you lose interest in soup night?
Also, soup night rulz.
Also! There's a temporary place to add notes, thoughts, ruminations, comments, names, or whatever you want. It's a super-high-tech-realtime-collaboration-revision-keeping-platform called EtherPad. It's essentially a wiki, so edit it and save revisions and delete things... you can't break it.
…farewell my British Empire … hello my Bharatha Varsha…
This week we’re going to give a warm welcome and harsh goodbye to the OG of soup night, Mr. Zackery Denfeld. Zack is traveling back to India next week Tuesday, so we are having a Soup Night send-off–full of Indian soups, Indian TV, and a lecture about his past two years in India.
He’ll be presenting a shortened version of a public lecture he gave a few weeks ago, “Art & Design in Contemporary Urban India,” talking about the experimental media lab CEMA, Design Anthropology and other good stuff.
UPDATE 1: He’ll only be gone from Portland for about a month and a half.
UPDATE 2: This will most likely take place at 2124 SE Belmont.
UPDATE 3: Tonight we’ll have: Sambar, Aloo Gobi Stew, & some lassi (sweet w/ cardamom, mint, cilantro)
