The backstory...
Way back in 1999, Jen Lane, while enjoying a protracted stint on employment, discovered the wonders of happy hour, and promptly set about disseminating her newfound knowlege to the masses. Several months, and untold bong hits, later, BarFly Magazine was born. While the beloved pocket-size monthly has sadly gone the way of the dodo, thanks to Kyle "Mr BarFly" Ritter, today BarFly flourishes on the interweb at www.barflypdx.com, where it continues to be Portland's best drinking buddy, ever.  Together with its ever-popular pub crawls, BarFly Bus Tours, and its irregularly scheduled oddball events and notorious annual bashes, the BarFly "entertainment juggernaut" is still going strong, some ten years later.

Celebrate all that is Tuesday, at Short-Shorts Night, at Plan B (1305 SE 8th), hosted with the mosted by Jedediah “Diamond” Aaker, and on Tuesday, July 14th, deejayed by Miss Jen Lane of BarFly Fame, a.k.a. DJ Meee--owww!



It's free, there are boffo drink specials, and it's just about the most fun you can have with your pants half off, especially on a Tuesday night. Hike 'em up, and hitch a ride - Short-Shorts takes off at about 10pm, and rolls till close.



Oh, yeah, and this Short-Shorts' special bonus is a TALENT CONTEST!  Bring IT on, whatever IT is, to win fabulous prizes. Grand prize is a $125 gift certificate from Tigerlily Tattoo.



Special double top-secret extra is the return of GOAT SHIT BINGO! Pick your square, and pick up the cash if our friendly lady goat favors your square with a squat.
