Danger danger! Warning warning! Don’t let this terrible-sounding event that just came across my desk happen to you!
Firstly, it’s called Fuze It.
It appears to be one of those vague, awesomely out of touch monstrosities that occasionally bursts forth from Los Angeles on a nationally touring rampage of ridiculous claims. This one purports to be “The Ultimate Fashion, Art, and Music Experience,” and seeks to cull together/exploit naively aspiring artists, models and musicians from the Portland area. “For participants, the event serves as a stepping-stone to either jump-start their aspiring career or make their existing career shine,” etc, etc. The participating suckas are, of course, TBD, but the lady who emailed me the press release has helpfully informed me that “the fashion show will feature some of the latest looks from Forever 21.” Tickets to attend? $20.
Yeah… no.
The Hawthorne Theater: where 15-year-olds go to see screamo shows.
The Hawthorne: where you can find “The Ultimate Fashion, Art, and Music Experience.”
Hilarious rebranding.
The Hawthorne! It is to lol.
I REALLY LIKE THE GIANT ‘FOR LEASE’ SIGN THEY DIDN’T BOTHER TO PHOTOSHOP OUT OF THE IMAGE OF OLD TOWN. PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP THEIR MOTTO.
It’s depressing and infuriating when mainstream brands adopt indie tactics. They don’t get authenticity.
So it’s different than what goes on here how precisely? I am a bit confused? Oh, because of how its promoted! That NEVER happens here, right? PS many “Indie” bands suck….and I am just fine about them not getting “authenticity” whatever the fuck that means (it means hipsters are the only ones to have heard of them, yeah?)
@SHOWSTOPER: JUST STOP IT. YOUR RANTS AREN’T EVEN TOPICAL OR USEFUL. WHATEVER IT IS YOU’RE TRYING TO DO WITH COMMENTING, IT’S NOT WORKING. YOU JUST LOOK SAD AND PATHETIC. TRY A NEW TACTIC, MAYBE RELEVANCY AND HUMOR COULD BE YOUR NEW METHODS OF GETTING YOUR POINT ACROSS.
Showstopper has been on some sort of dumbshit troll overload the last few days. Save some of that gold for open mic night!
He’s been riding high since getting CotW.
SHOOOOOOOOOOWSTOPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theres open mike night? you mean I get to meet you clowns? Cool. Calling someone a troll because you don’t agree with them when you yourself post on EVERY fucking blog is lame. @7 I would say”say that to my face” but I am not going to be that guy. and the reality is you never would anyway. But you got your little comment out, did’nt you? That felt good probably. @Graham…no point, just my thoughts, if you disagree that’s fine
