Skate-a-Roke is but a week away, guys! And while it’s a perfect marriage of karaoke and roller skating (as well as benefitting Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon), it’s best to look fabulous while doing it! So first things first: GET YOUR TICKET NOW (only $10) to avoid the long lines at the door and karaoke queue, memorize the date and time (Monday, March 12, 7 – 10 pm at Oaks Park Skating Rink), and start picking out what you want to wear! My suggestions are as follows!

TUBE SOCKS!
SHORTY SHORTS!
FUNKY BELL BOTTOMS!
SATIN JACKETS!
AN AWESOME T-SHIRT!
A WIG!

Basically we all want to walk into a room that looks like this:

Skate-a-Roke next Monday: Make your dream a reality.

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
