Underwritten in part by a grant from Soloflex
summarizes Dee Dee. “ W e’re turned on
to a lot of styles and have a variety of
specialties, so that’s why our album is so
much more than just a couple o f hit
songs. We want people to be entertained
all the way through.”
“ The band m em bers have a lot of
different musical tastes,” explains
Johnson, “ and they’re naturals at bring­
ing it all together. This is the kind o f
recording that you can listen to from
beginning to end a thousand times and
pick up on new things to experience each
tim e.”

SKYVIEW TERRACES
TO BE COMPLETED
AT OREGON
CONVENTION CENTER
Skyview terrace lounges offering i
view o f downtown Portland will soon b<
a part of the Oregon Convention Center
The Metro Council Thursday (Octobei
11) night unanimously authorized spend­
ing $600,000 from an unspent construc­
tion balance to com plete the lounges
which arc located in the bases o f the
C enter’s glass towers.
The lounges were part o f the origi­
nal construction plans in 1987, but were
deleted in 1988 due to fears o f cosl
overruns. In 1989 however, the Metro
Council gave completion of the terraces
highest budget priority after resolution
ol construction claims. W hen construc­
tion of the Oregon Convention Center
was completed, there was an estim ated
$2.2 million surplus in the capital fund
due to highcr-than-anticipatcd interest
earnings.
The 7,(XX) square-foot skyview ter­
races consist of two semi-circles joined
by a long comdor. Design drawings feature
bars against the back walls o f the sem i­
circles and tables along the perimeter.
Total occupancy is about 175. The de­
sign team envisioned the lounges as a
place that would “ Attract and hold dele­
gates within the Center as long as pos­
sible to increase the likelihood o f all ex ­
hibits being seen...smaller scale lounge-
retreat seating should be provided where
delegates can ‘close the million-dollar
deal’ in sem i-privacy.”
( onstruction of the lounges will begin
in January 1991, with completion antici­
pated by late spring.
