Jason Sherwood will be presenting “Does chocolate contain caffeine?” at Interesting Portland Thursday, April 8th at Norse Hall in Portland, OR.
The idea behind Interesting is simple: an evening of 20 interesting people each talking about something they love/hate/do/did/know/care about/obsess over.
We want to replicate the experience of clicking from one really good blog to another, ranging haphazardly across culture, sciences, arts, crafts, whatever.
But with the added benefit of direct contact in a relaxed, conversational setting. The only requirement is that each presentation be either 3 or 10 minutes long.
This time topics include:
* How to Pick Out Fruit
* A Contemporary Idea of Justice
* One Day Robert Duncan Went Insane
* Doughnut Eating Contest by Voodoo Doughnuts
* 1927: The Real Birth of CoolThe evening starts at 6pm with mingling and nattering at the bar. Speaker will kick off around 6:30 and will go to 9:30 (with a break in the middle to rest the brain and talk). More mingling and nattering will continue at the bar afterwards. Of course.
We are grateful to be invited to speak at the first such event in Portland, however Interesting has already been a big success all around the world, as evidenced the events held annually in London, NYC, Amsterdam and Sydney.
We will be sharing cups of Choffy throughout the night with all the attendees. Please come by and say hi. We look forward to seeing you there!

Hi from Australia! I am very curious about your product, but unfortunately, I found it very difficult to listen to the video which is posted on your website. The presenter, whom I believe is the idea behind the product, needs to practice his public speaking skills a bit more, if he is going to be the one selling the product. It seems unrehearsed. His ums and uhs made him seem less confident of his product and it was difficult to listen to. I will try again when I am feeling more patient, but in all sincerity, he isn’t a good spokesperson for the product, at this stage. I would have liked excitement! A vision! A dream! It seemed like a spur of the moment speech and wasn’t motivating. Sorry, but that is my reaction. It would matter even more if one was actually in the audience. A good presentation will sell so much more and motivate participants.
Wow. Tough crowd down under.
Seriously though, Sharon we appreciate your candor. As a company we are learning and growing right along with our product and its fans. We are dedicated to sharing Choffy with everyone we can and are refining ourselves along the way. Thanks for taking an interest in Choffy and while we currently can not sell Choffy in Australia, we hope you will continue to keep an eye out for us.
Thanks
Team Choffy
