Hey, if the model worked for music ...

C'mon, Portland comedians. Just jack up your water bills to exorbitant levels and you'll finally get that prized WW coverage.

Man who doesn't live in Portland has tumblr hissy fit about an alt-weekly not adequately covering his hobby? Tempest in the tiniest teacup ever created by man.

It's not a hobby, Graham, it's my job and I make way more money than you doing it. I make enough money to have some of my shit shipped up to Portland for you to eat. Whats your address...

Way more money? No, you don't.

Yeah-huh.

Let's be honest, tinier tempest-laden teacups do exist, and they often are the fights you pick with others on Blogtown, Graham.

300 Portland Comedians (and a couple dozen funny ones) beg to differ on the alleged lack of a scene.

Yeah for a lot if us it isn't a hobby, but our jobs. Ian can I have a loan?

Your first mistake was assuming that the Willamette Weak offers any sort of a relevant valid opinion on anything other than what a bunch of white people and one token brown person happened to be wearing last Tuesday within a five block radius of their offices.

In some ways they are doing you a favor by keeping a horde of besuited BMW driving fleshy pink plasticine mannequins from showing up at one of your friend's shows and trying to turn it into a wine tasting/ black tie fundraiser.

Martin Cizmar is the worst thing to happen to WWeek in years. I'm perpetually embarrassed for him.

Maybe they're just afraid of all the comics getting too big and leaving...
