Final details before the Ceasefire!
No comments · Posted by The Web Mistress in Events
There is now just over two days before the Ceasefire… oof! You’ve dropped off your cape at the dry cleaner’s for pressing, yes? And your mask is at the tailor’s to have the elastic refitted? You gotta look your best for the costume contest, after all, and nothing will vex your arch nemesis more than a well-tailored supersuit!
We wanted to take this opportunity to make sure you have all the last minute details you’ll need to have a fun evening. Here we go!
Our Venue: Ella St. Social Club
First off, it’s important to note that Ella St. is a CASH ONLY venue! They do have an ATM right next to the bar in case you run out of paper funds. Ella St.’s full bar and tasty menu aren’t the only ways to spend your cash… our performers The Doubleclicks and Robot Uprise will both have CDs for purchase, and the AES will have our awesome array of swag as well. And don’t forget to tip the bartender!
Ella St. Social Club is located at 714 SW 20th Place, right next to Jeld-Wen Field (what used to be PGE Park). The bar doesn’t really have any signs up, which lends quite well to its rather “villainous lair” ambiance (hopefully there will be some righteous heroes in attendance to balance out the evil vibe!). We’ll try to have the front marked as a superpower-friendly establishment so that you know you’re at the right place. Also, it looks like this at night:
See where it says "Lounge"? That's Ella St. Social Club!
Look, here’s a useful map! Click the “View Larger Map” link below to open Google Maps in a new tab/window.

Parking in the area is your usual downtown streetside affair, and the Red and Blue MAX lines let out just a couple blocks away if you’d rather park-and-ride (Please drive responsibly!!)
Tickets: Presale and Night Of
If you have not yet purchased your ticket, don’t fret! We should have enough available at the door for everyone to get in and party for a good cause. But! You won’t get free raffle tickets, or discounts on AES things like tshirts, DVDs, and patches, if you buy your ticket at the door… those goodies are only for pre-purchased tickets! And you really, really want those raffle tickets: these are just some of the prizes you’ll have a chance to win!
If you have already purchased your ticket: YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you! All online ticket buyers will be on our door list, and you can pick up your raffle tickets on your way into the event.
We will be checking IDs of all superheroes and supervillains in attendance and confirming that you are registered as 21 Earth years or older, so make sure to have yours in an easy-to-access pouch on your utility belt!
Okay guys and gals, that seems to be it! We’ll be posting another prize-roundup tomorrow, and are finalizing details with Ground Kontrol regarding the video game consoles we’ll have on loan for the evening. If you have any questions about the event, you can email info@alteregossociety.com, or ask us via Facebook or Twitter. We’ll see you on Saturday!

Prize Previews for next week’s Ceasefire fundraiser party!
No comments · Posted by The Web Mistress in Events
In the weeks since we originally posted info about our upcoming Hero/Villain Ceasefire, we’ve sold a few tickets, gotten a few new sponsors, and confirmed one or two new wonderful (surprise!) guests. Things are looking good for our 5th annual Ceasefire!
Speaking of sponsors: we have prizes! Oh, the prizes we have! Check out the picture below… a neon sign, all sorts of games, drinking vessels, graphic novels, and gift certificates galore! Our sponsors continue to amaze us; thank you so much to the businesses who have lent our event their support.
These are some seriously awesome prizes!
You can find a full list of sponsors and links to their websites on the Hero/Villain Ceasefire 2011 page.
Prizes will be given out to costume contest winners and through raffle drawings. Remember: you can buy your event ticket online to get free raffle tickets! They’ll also be available for purchase at the Ceasefire for $1/ticket or $5/6 tickets. All proceeds from door and raffle ticket sales will be going to p:ear.
It’s not too late to buy tickets; we’ll be selling them online until the day before the event, and limited quantities will be available at the door. Ella St. Social Club is a smaller venue than we’ve partied at before, so buying your ticket now ensures you’ll get to rub elbows with Portland’s superhero (and villain) elite!
And, egads, the Ceasefire is nigh! November 12 is just barely over a week away. The intrepid heroes and villains among you were surely prepared before Halloween, but if not hopefully the festively costumed holiday got you thinking about your super gear and persona… We don’t require anything terribly elaborate, just as long as the character is of your own design. It’s all about having fun and exploring hero and villain archetypes, whether that means you’ve been busily stitching spandex or you plan on just tying a towel around your neck. Mutants, aliens, biomechanically-enhanced humans; the Alter Egos Society accepts all super types!

Ceasefire 2011 Ticket Sales are LIVE
No comments · Posted by The Web Mistress in Events
If you’ve been watching our Twitter and Facebook, you’ve probably heard the news: this year’s Hero/Villain Ceasefire is happening November 12 at Ella St. Social Club. Today we’ve got even more exciting news for you… This year we’re doing online ticket sales to our annual fundraiser for p:ear, and ticket sales are LIVE!
The team at AES Headquarters is really looking forward to this year’s event, and we’ve been working hard on planning a great evening for you. We’ll have live music performed by The Doubleclicks and Robot Uprise (that means dancing!), contests for best costumes and super powers, raffle prizes, even video games! For all the information about this year’s Ceasefire fundraising event, and a full list of our awesome sponsors, check out the main event page: Alter Egos Society’s 5th Annual Hero/Villain Ceasefire 2011.
One of the coolest things about our fundraiser this year is that we’ve created tiered event packages to help raise even more money for p:ear’s youth mentorship program. Tickets start at $10 and go on to include Alter Egos Society swag, prize bags from our sponsors, even a professional photoshoot of your super persona! We thought this would be a fun way to encourage attendees to give more while still getting something fun in the deal. And it’s the perfect opportunity to pick up some of our awesome swag if you haven’t already!
If you’ve never attended an Hero/Villain Ceasefire, here’s the low-down: Our annual fall event is half party, half charity fundraiser for our favorite non-profit group, p:ear. We ask that you attend costumed as a superhero or super villain (or sidekick, minion, ambivalent mastermind, etc.)of your own creation; itโs okay if you donโt have a solid origin story or your mask is a little loose. We won’t judge! Just come out, have fun, and help us raise money for a great cause.
We’ll see you there!
