What's happening in Portland, Maine:

Full Moon Margarita Madness

Full Moon Madness - A monthly event of community participation benefiting local charities

Every month at Margaritas, on the night of the full moon, we throw a really big party and crazy things can happen. Throughout the evening our lounges are piled high with giveaways, contests, flavorful specials and lots of fun and excitement. Even better, 5% of the evening's gross lounge sales are donated to a local charity. Area businesses, organizations and distributors get in on the fun by supplying fantastic prizes and throughout the night. You could win anything and everything—t-shirts, gift certificates, ski passes, skydiving and rafting trips, snowboards and more! You have to see it to believe it. Join us for our next Full Moon Margarita Madness and see what all the excitement is about!

Sea Dogs Home Game

2 Pianos 4 Hands

June 1 - July 1, 2012

As children, Ted and Richard don’t have much in common – except for the shared desire to become classical pianists. But does either of them have what it takes? 2 Pianos 4 Hands is a play with music that follows the dynamic and comical journey of two boys into adulthood, their musical aspirations gleaming like the grand pianos that they play masterfully on stage from beginning to end.

Yogi Mixer

Brad Newman created the concept for the "Yogi Mixer" as a way for yogis to come together and create community.
It is our intention to create relationships with local studios, instructors and yogi's of all forms so that we can come together and share in connection.

On the 2nd Friday of each month we will gather together and share in entertainment, networking and community. This is a great way to meet other teachers and students from the greater Portland area community/studios.

We will provide a cash bar with mixed drinks, snacks and deserts. Our "mixed drinks" and deserts are thoughtfully and beautifully created with as many local and organic products as are available. With the intention of supporting your body, being, and spirit our drinks are created without alcohol but you are sure to experience bliss and joy when you imbibe!!

"I created 'Yogi Mixers' so people around the world who are interested in yoga have a better chance of meeting and developing profound relationships that benefit society. Whether they are professional or personal ties that bring yogis together, I feel the world will be a better place if more synergy among the yoga community happens. -Brad Newman"

Thank you for making us a success.
