Treasure Night! at Turn! Turn! Turn!
May 15, 2015 @ 7:00 PM
Join Resident Historian Doug Kenck-Crispin, JB Fisher and Jeff Jaeckle as they discuss True Treasure Tales from Oregon’s Past! And shit yes – Trivia too! It is a fun, classic event, AND you’ll leave with a real live treasure map to a horde in P-Town!
Portland on the Take co-author JB Fisher will present the lore of the Neahkahnie horde with a focus on treasure hunter Tony Moreno aka Ed Fire and a surprising Goonies link.
Geek out with film professor Jeff Jaeckle as he leads you on a drunken treasure hunt for the in-jokes, sexual innuendos, and random trivia of The Goonies. Drink alcohol and win prizes, with extra points for those wearing suspenders and tri-corner hats!
And Doug Kenck-Crispin will share some of his favorite Portland Treasure Tales, and give you a copy of a REAL LIVE TREASURE MAP!, and really dig into the lore, documentation and analysis behind said map (let’s just cut to the chase and call it a Treasure Trail). He will present absolutely nothing about The Goonies.
At the end of the program, we will also be showing a classic Oregon cinematic gem. AND one lucky trivia winner will be walking away with a pretty sweet acknowledgment of their mastery of all things treasurely trivial!
And it’s only $6!
