Did it occur to you that the picture spelled history wrong?
Re: “Sex Advice from The Stranger”
Completely agree with boozeber - My first thought when I read it.
Most of the advice for women seeking men: Work on your appearance.
Most of the advice for men seeking women: Work on your personality.
Are you freakin' kidding me? I thought this was a progressive paper.
Re: “Sex Advice from The Stranger”
this article is OLD
Re: “Sex Advice from The Stranger”
This article is a pretty clear representation of the sexism tax at work. Maybe if women were to wear makeup (but not too much), show some skin (but not too much) and have great hair, we'd be able to close the income inequality. Maybe if we just smiled more, we'd have better luck getting equal pay instead of just another penis in our vagina.

I'm working on a dyspepsian novel. Talk about scary!
Re: “Sex Advice from The Stranger”
Oh great: way to insult the hoboes!
Re: “Sexing up Wordstock”
"Hmm, I am in charge of the upcoming Wordstock festival for the first time. It's been a well regarded and often engaging literary festival, but needs a shot in the arm. I know! We'll pander to adult readers of Young Adult's somewhat disturbing sexual fascination with teenagers!" - The latest gatekeeper of Wordstock.

Re: “How to Speak TBA”
Fucking A +
I shoulda read this earlier.
I always get so tired of 'Artists Statements' to explain the work that shouldn't really need to be explained much at all.
I think they all took the same course in art school to learn all that bs.
Thanks for saving me the time and money Alison. I shall now go forth with the comfort of being able to bs with the best of them.
Umm... do you maybe have a pocket-sized edition with expanded situations and frequent terms to use that I might take with me to shows?
Re: “Hometown Heroes”
"How OLD are you?"
Haven't heard that one in a while.
Re: “Hometown Heroes”
No one gets covered in slime in "Home Made," Commenter #1 . . . unless you count dancer Noel sweating heavily, and if you do, that's just rude. And there may have been drooling in tEEth's past but there certainly isn't any drool in this show.
The A.W.A.R.D Show was put on by the Joyce Theater and Seattle's On the Boards, Mr. Noah.
tEEth has had a chance or two to jump ship and they haven't taken it. They like Portland they know what it means to break the cycle of losing good things to New York.
Re: “Hometown Heroes”
Do YOU even know what the word HERO means?
These (tEEth) are not heroes........
Have you seen other works, beyond this "Nude" work?
If making REALLY Loud Music(?) and being covered in "Slime" and Screaming very loudly AT THE AUDIENCE, and "Drooling" into another persons mouth is NOW considered being a HERO.....I say:
Get a LIFE!!!
And SEE MORE WORK!!!!!
How OLD are you?
Re: “A Festival of Funny”
Kristen Schall made a sex book with her boyfriend. Which just seems strange. But every time I see her face now I see the words "The Sexy Book of Sex," I'm not sure this is improving my experience of her humor or not. But her Daily Show blurbs seem that much funnier now.
Tangentially, it reminds me of Amy Sedaris' Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People. The combination makes me want to scrub my eye balls with a Brilo pad.
Re: “A Festival of Funny”
Dear Andrew, Did you notice how many women actually ARE performing at Bridgetown Comedy Fesitval? Did you notice the top-billed comedian this year was Margaret Cho? I counted 32 women listed on the website, out of 189 performers. I can picture you thinking "hey, there are two kinds of comics: men and women. So I'd better make sure to include both types." Awful. Comparing Phil to Andy Kaufman, again? Telling your readers to check out your intern's comedy, again? It's like you just used last year's Bridgetown Article for half of your profiles. Your editor should buy you a book on how to look for a job, and you won't read it because you're lazy, so you won't get the joke: you're fired for being bad at writing about comedy. Sincerely, Shawn Fleek.
Re: “Estate of Mind”
Charles is a friend of mine. I personally had an opportunity to work with the man and he is greatly misunderstood. He has much to share, and those who are keen on growing and refining thier craft (whatever that may be) will be open to the opportunity to learn from him and his life. I was unable to make the event but I thought it was courageous of him to open up his life to others and to allow what he loves (artistic energy) to help him through trying times. Lets not discourage each other from sharing.
