The ballroom, a bedroom, an apartment and some really handsome dudes at The Colony

ROOM TO MOVE: I would like to introduce you to The Colony, Portland's latest, and St. Johns greatest, gathering place. The vision of restaurant entrepreneur Dayna McErlean (she's one of the major forces behind the restaurant row off of NE Killingsworth and is the owner of Yakuza and D.O.C.) the ginormous space, at the corner of North Richmond and Lombard Streets, features not one, but two 1,000-square-foot short-term rental apartments, a 25-foot high, 2,000-square-foot ballroom and a 1,500-square-foot dance studio. There are at least two fireplaces, at least three kitchens, a bar, several meeting rooms and a great outdoor area perfect for pitching a few Airstream-type trailers, which Dayna intends to do.

On Monday night Dayna held a private party to celebrate the new space and invited friends and family to share in The Colony's cool-ness. And it is a really cool space. Dayna intends to do invite all sorts of projects to this creative 'colony,' much like she did with her ahead of its time space on Alberta called Isitness.

Whatever you may think of St. Johns (it's too far out, it's too funky, it's too too) I believe The Colony will be a shining star for not just the neighborhood, but the entire city of Portland. Thank you Dayna.

  Hello!
  
  My name is Melanie Kantor, PTA Secretary for Peninsula and chair of Noche de Amor.
  
  I have run into a bit of a 911 situation. I have this amazing benefit for our school and lost my venue two days ago. It is a Cuban night of music and dance. Dina y Los Rumberos will be playing two sets, Gabby and Aaron Casino will be teaching cuban salsa and their dancers are doing a demonstration during band break. We will be having a silent auction, food and drinks.
  
  I have been a viral marketing machine and KGW, KATU, the Oregonian, PQ Monthly and El Hispanic News are/have posted our event. 20 more such releases have been sent as well and am receiving accepted posts daily.
  
  Would this be something you would want to do. Can we talk, ASAP. I realize this is last minute, but I would love to talk. Please email and/or call.
  
  Thanks!
  Melanie Kantor
