The Wheelies: Awards for Stuff That Matters
It’s an awards show for people and ideas that are changing Oregon for the better—only it’s way more hilarious. (Think bunny suits.)
It’s a swanky attire affair at the hottest (and most sustainable) new venue in Portland—only it’s for those of us who might not usually be able to afford swanky affairs at hot new venues.
And it’s a Bus Project party, only…it’s a Bus Project party.
Red carpet interviews. Live music and video. Fancy clothes. Milling political figures. Rousing speechifying. An intriguing after party. And the Bus Project. All under one roof for one night.
Main event featuring Portland Gay Men’s Chorus and Lander.
Afterparty featuring Minmae, The Liv Warfield Project, Ohmega Watts and Copacrescent.
You can’t afford to miss this one because THE BUS will be doing the Eugene-Portland commute with the crazy Lane Bus Crew and their guests. Those kids know how to party!
Oh—and did we mention The Wheelies will be carbon neutral?

Hey all you Lane Bus riders. Yea, you.
I can’t believe you are transporting yourselves to the Wheelie Awards with out me?
Aren’t I good enough for you to ride? (Like actually, ride. Not the dirty ride).
I know I am small, I know I need a washing, a new paint job, and I know I can’t pack a hefty load, but really cut slack people. This is grinding ma damn gears.
I guess these years have meant nothing to you.
Thanks for nothing,
-The Lane Bus-

If you’re considering stopping at the Enchanted Forest on the way up, I’d recommend putting it off. You wanna be on time to the Wheelies.
Cheers from MultCo,

I’ll be on the Bus, and riding the bus, too. I promise to behave myself! No, really!

The Bus ride up will be well worth the cost…..oh wait, the ride is free.
The 24 bones for the tickets will certainly be worth it then. Illogically speaking I’ll be saving that much in biofuel if I was driving up and down to Portland. So in essence its a free event.
Except for drinks. And a new suit. Oh, and a haircut.
