February 2026
Hey folks!
It's February, and while we are still in the same space we are now running it by ourselves as Dark Room . It's a big step but we're pretty excited about it! We'll be adding some other events that might be of interest to you, and will add them to these emails when relevant. Send an email to info@darkroompdx.org and let us know you'd like to be on the email list for all the events at the space.
With the new setup we're working with a tiered system of payments. The tiers include the same $15 entry fee for students, retirees, and others on fixed or low incomes, and $20 which is roughly what we'd need to charge to make Stumptown sustainable. For those that can there's also the option of contributing $25 or $30 per event to cover those less able to pay and to ensure we get to maintain our own location and the longevity of Stumptown. We hope you understand the reasoning behind the change, and that you're as excited as we are to begin this new chapter!
We are also on the lookout for a few things such as massage tables, furniture (sp@nk benches and the like), as well as black fitted and flat sheets. If you have anything along these lines you'd be willing to donate or even loan please let us know!
xo, Stumptown
p.s. we are still having issues with our emails being blocked or going to spam. Please share this email with folks that might have missed it, and while you're add it add stumptownstroke@gmail.com and info@stumptownstrokes.com to your address books!
