People made off with some treasures in the silent auction--- thank you to the local businesses that contributed merchandise and gift certificates for the cause!!<br /><br />There is still a way to contribute to Micah's ballooning health care expenses. The 10 for 10 Challenge means you find ten people to donate 10 bucks, knocking out a cool $100 without breaking the bank! Contributions can be made at HELD Belts, Micah's store at the foot of the St Johns Bridge. Check out his website www.strongestbeltsintheworld.com<br /><br />Thank you to Salty Teacup, Lilytoad, The Parlour, Body Bistro, The Crystal Cathedral, Housefarm, St Johns Booksellers, the Proper Family, Geare Music and Poppy Massage for donating items to the silent auction.<br /><br />Be Well, Do Good Work, and Keep in Touch!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3729099572812510075-5395032386395346975?l=propereats.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ProperFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07862334013178982116noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729099572812510075.post-57249005596376657662011-02-25T12:23:00.000-08:002011-02-25T12:27:28.490-08:00Hello Portland!<br /><br />Tonight is the night for art in St Johns!

This long-awaited showdown was fun for everyone--- although there were a lot of balls flying towards Proper heads!!! There were a few pirates on deck (up from the Pirate Festival!), some little ones with big game, and lots of friends helping out! All we can say is, WE WON the first two out of three!!! Of course, we went on to play about 7 more games (at least!) and the final tally was definitely in favor of Slim's! See you on the field next time! Thanks for the photos, Heather!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3729099572812510075-3545892279311196321?l=propereats.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ProperFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07862334013178982116noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729099572812510075.post-59088904174961857972009-09-28T14:55:00.000-07:002009-09-28T15:03:23.682-07:00Hi All-<br /><br />Proper Eats is proud to present free, local, live music in our cafe three nights a week!<br />All of our musicians play original compositions. We unfortunately cannot<br />afford to pay licensing fees to corporate music giants like ASCAP and BMI at this time, so all music at Proper Eats is free, uncopyrighted music for the masses. Copyright lawsuits have forced many<br />small restaurants and bars out of business, so we are underscoring our dedication to be a copyright-free, DYI destination for artists and musicians in Portland.<br /><br />Thanks for supporting Proper Eats and free music in St. John's!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3729099572812510075-5908890417496185797?l=propereats.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ProperFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07862334013178982116noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729099572812510075.post-42396912864899880872009-09-17T11:40:00.000-07:002009-09-17T11:59:45.501-07:00We have a new email for booking music at Proper Eats!
