# Raise your glass to more acquisitions! Portland’s Unthirsty gets acquired

Well well well. You may have heard that [2010 is the year of acquisitions in Portland](http://siliconflorist.com/2010/01/13/officially-declaring-2010-year-acquisition-portland-aboutus-acquires-janrain-jyte/ "That’s it. Officially declaring 2010 The Year of the Acquisition in Portland."). No really. It is. Don’t believe me? Well, I’ve got another one for you. That’s right. Already.

Turns out Portland-based [Unthirsty](http://www.unthirsty.com/ "Unthirsty")—a side project for [Jason Glaspey](http://twitter.com/jasonglaspey "Jason Glaspey") and [Matt King](http://twitter.com/mattking "Matt King")—just [sold for an undisclosed sum](http://twitter.com/jasonglaspey/status/8044739695 "Jason Glaspey tweets about Unthirsty sale").

What’s Unthirsty, you ask? Well, truth be told, it’s actually [one of the cool side projects that motivated me to start writing Silicon Florist](http://siliconflorist.com/2007/09/12/silicon-florist-one-month-as-the-florist/ "One month as the Florist"). (But don’t tell Glaspey, because he’ll get all big-headed about it.)

But aside from that little tidbit of trivia, how about I actually answer the question? Okay. I will.

Unthirsty is a happy hour finder.

> Unthirsty is the work of a group of like-minded souls who were always struggling (for obvious reasons) to remember where and when they last enjoyed that good happy hour. A plan of action was drawn up on beer sodden napkins over bargain pints and some mighty fine nachos. Thus, Unthirsty was launched and dedicated to the good of all mankind’s legally drinking denizens.

But now, it’s all growed up. And ready to start a new life with a new owner.

“While the future of the site isn’t 100% decided, it will probably continue to grow on the foundation Matt and I started,” said Glaspey. “This was our first side project and, admittedly, it’s a little sad to see it go. But we’ve both been busy with other projects and we hated to see it just sit there. This move makes sure that it gets the love and attention it deserves.”

So take a moment to raise your glass to Unthirsty. The latest acquisition in what is sure to be a very busy year of buying and being bought around here.
