Two Seattle screenings of Portland-filmed feature ‘A Simple Machine’ already sold out

Filmed in Portland, A Simple Machine is a feature film about a young man struggling under debt who “makes a series of radically frugal lifestyle choices without telling his girlfriend that he’s going to fix up an old bike and go off the grid,” according to the film’s synopsis. The trailer looks great, with a grainy black-and-white style and intriguing dialog. “This is not just a ‘bike film,’” the promotional team said in an email to Seattle Bike Blog about the upcoming screening. “It’s a film where the bike is the philosophy.”

Portland’s Best Cozy Bars for the Winter

While Portland summers are idyllic and sunny, and our autumns are heralded by explosions of crimson and gold across the city, our winters can get downright grim.

But that’s why we have bars, especially those warm, welcoming spots with firepits and hot toddies and hearty meals to drive out the chill and the brutal malaise. Some places offer year-round comfort, while others bring festive joy with holiday pop-ups and themes. Here are some picks for our favorite cozy, wintry bars.
