Located just down the road from The Bleeding Horse this old pub seemed a natural stopping point on my drinking tour. Cassidy’s is a very classically decorated pub with tan walls, wood interior, and high ceilings. The pub goes quite far back, so while it looks small from the road it is actually a decent size place. A bar covers almost the entire left wall, so there is plenty of room to sit and enjoy a drink or find a spot to grab a drink if it is busy. Along the right wall there is bench seating with tables and stools as well as mirrors on the walls. 

PETER MURPHY plays the Hawthorne in Portland Saturday Dec 3. I had to miss him the last few times he toured because of medical or chair stuff. I would like love commit crimes to go! It's less than $30.

Here's the thing: The night before, here in Eugene, at the WoW Hall, CHRIS ROBINSON is playing. I haven't seen Chris is ages, and because I heard about his show first, I'm already committed to attending. So that means I won't be able to take the train or bus up to Portland on Friday (Saturday schedules aren't looking promising to get me to the Hawthorne in time, either).

However, I KNOW that there are some of you, locally and in my social networks, that like Mr. Murphy almost as much as I do, so I'm proposing we plan a day, or night, or weekend, in Portland for the show. You provide me with a ride and I'll compensate you in some as-yet-to-be-determined fashion* If you want, we can even check out the fabulous food from the new chefs† at Cassidy's before the show (that's a bit of an incentive, by the way, perhaps even a bribe...).

She Wants Revenge is opening for Peter, if that's of interest to any people who potentially join me.

*Plus, obviously, I'll contribute gas money.

†I can personally vouch for the talent of at least one of these amazing culinary artists; I've known her since before she could hold a knife.
