Delays

It was really nice to see a plug for The Acorn in The Willamette Week today, and although we've always eschewed the geographical nickname "indie rock block," and we haven't sold condoms since 2000, unsolicited press is really nice. Makes me wonder what could happen if I ever got it together to do an acutal press release. It's always my intention to use the media for the express benefit of creating buzz, and ultimately, hype. But I rarely get around to acting upon my intentions. Does that guarantee me a place in or out of Hell?

Anyway, there was unofficial talk of opening on the 15th, which became the official word, which is acutally just hearsay. We hope to open a full week after the 15th, the 22nd. We're still waiting for equipment and furniture, and I need that time to shore up the elusive menu. Right now, I am really inspired by ploughman lunches, vegetable terrines and after-school snacks. I'll be keeping the blog updated, and maybe even working on a press release.
