May Day 1st Thursday
May 1, 2008
May First Thursday was the biggest yet. With Bobby Torres banging away on the bongos all night and son Arsenio Torres showing his art to hundreds that attended, everyone had a blast. The fact that it was a father-son duo was the icing on the cake.
Here's the low down on the artists and thier web links if you are interested in checking them out.
Arsenio Torres (the son) is our featured artist for the month. The pull one feels to maintain a balance between work and play is depicted in each of Arsenio's paintings. It's a pull he regularly feels as an emerging artist and believes most everyone can sympathize with. The daily struggles depicted in his work are snapshots into other people's "pulls" and are many times specific to his Latin heritage and culture.
Bobby Torres (the father) was our musician for the evening. His music blended very well with his son’s art work. It was a sight to see, Bobby going to town on the bongos, along with his fellow musicians playing the electric piano and chello.
The drinks were always a bonus. With free BridgePort Blue Heron beer and a variety of wine from Cork being served all night, it hit the spot for everyone. The weather was great as well and showed a bit what the summer is going to be like at Lizard Lounge, awesome of course!
More parties to come.

First Thursday for February
On the first Thursday of every month three blocks are closed off in NW Portland between Everett and Johnson on 13th Street from 5 to 10 pm. The street fills up with musicians and showcases hand-made and original artwork by local area artists. Fortunately for us Lizard Lounge sits at the heart of this. Come visit us on any first Thursday of any month and you are guaranteed to find an art show, live music and, of course, beer, wine and the ever-sumptuous Stumptown coffee. Check back for details on who this month's featured artist and musician will be. See you soon!
