Alice in Eco-Land: Head Down the Rabbit Hole at The Nines for NYE

Where: 525 SW Morrison St [map], Portland, OR, United States, 97062

Five, four, three, two, one...Happy Sustainability! Er, New Year! Papers and cable networks have been abuzz with stories about Copenhagen's Climate Conference, which wraps up today and coincides with news about LEED-certified hotel The Nines' New Year's Eve party plans.

We'd expected the color palette for said event to be green, naturally (ba-dum-bum), but instead we're seeing shades of blue, blue, blue for the Alice in Wonderland-themed bash. (Tiffany blue also happens to be the hue of choice for The Nines' rooms.) The sixth floor of the hotel will be transformed into a veritable Wonderland, with entertainment courtesy of a local marching band. Don't worry, we don't think they'll spontaneously burst into a school's fight song; we're told it's swinging big band tunes they're playing, instead.
