Ok, so I'm moving from the Bronx, NY to Portland and I need to get work. Temping, however, isn't going to cut it since I'll need to be making a lot more so I can pay rent and electricity, food, the works. I went to a 5 day drilling course on bartending, got the books and certificate, have the equipment and a stocked bar at home, but have never worked in an actual bar. I've saved up about a month and a half of rent and am putting the move on a credit card... Since I know bartending's fun and a good way to make some cash, I just need to know what's the best way to get a bartending gig in Portland.

If so, what is it like? I am thinking of moving there from California. I need a more affordable place to live and get more for my money. I want to stay on the west coast. Thanks!

I'm planning on moving to Oregon in a few months and after reading things like this http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2004/08/295320.shtml I'm somewhat concerned about racism (hostile stares/ racial slurs etc.) being an issue for me and my interracial family once we move there.

I am aware of the fact that prejudice and ignorance exists EVERYWHERE. I’d like to know more (from Portlanders if possible) before I move there.

Let me paint a picture about us in case it helps...

We’re a family of five. We’re vegan, liberal, “hippiesh“, my husband is white/Hispanic, I'm biracial (german, black, hispanic) my 9 year old girl is white/hispanic, my 5 year old boy is dark skinned with straight black hair ( Taino) and my mom who's coming along with us is hispanic/black.

Also, it would be of great use to us if someone could please let me know about the general attitude towards minorities in other areas/burbs such as Beaverton, Gresham, or Vancouver Wa. etc.

Would like to relocate to the area, but I like living in smaller towns, and I want a place that has some snow.

I'm looking to spend under $40 a night, but I'm willing to stay anywhere that has a shower and a lock on the door... are there cheap little motels to be found in parts of Oregon in this price range? Any recommendations? (I'm traveling the whole state, so any city or town will do)

I'm from California so I don't own a jacket and I need to get one prior to my visit. Can you please suggest some brands of clothing you wear (for a young person) for outerwear - jackets etc. I just have no idea where to start and I know it rains a lot in the winter there so I want to get the right jacket that is waterproof etc. Any suggestions? Thanks!
