For those who love TED Talks, here’s an interesting rub for the upcoming TEDx Portland: Grammy-winning rapper Macklemore has been signed on to speak on this year’s topic, “Perfect.” Macklemore will join other Northwest smarty-pants (such as Gov. Kitzhaber, brainiac whiz kid Jackson Gariety, and many more) as well as performers such as Blitzen Trapper for this all-day long event. PLUS! Along with these 14 speakers, there will be four TED.com talks, as well as a happy hour, and a post TEDx event in Keller Park. Woo-WOO! That’s a lot of “brainy.” You won’t have to think again for the entire year! Here are the deets:

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.)
