Red Carpets and Model Geekery
So I learned a couple things at last night’s PIFF red-carpet premiere of Coraline: (1) Portland is incapable of being fancy. (2) Neil Gaiman is adorable and nice. (3) Portland does know how to be nerdy at awesome, articulated-model afterparties! Turns out that Portland has no idea how to conduct themselves at one of these […]

I’m the Worst Red Carpet Interviewer Ever!
‘Cause all I asked Neil Gaiman at last night’s fancy-pants Coraline premiere was, “Will you take a picture with me?” in a wheezing, panting voice. YAYYYYY! It’s me and NEIL GAIMAN! Much, much more about the red carpet experience (and listening to Teri Hatcher pee) later this afternoon when I pull myself together.

Dibs on That Seat
In these heady, anti-carcinogenic times, bar etiquette has become more and more important… and confusing! Gone are the days of blowing second-hand smoke into the faces of complete strangers. Instead, we’re drunkenly entering bars to find loads of empty barstools and tables… only to be confronted with angry, smelly patrons who stepped outside to smoke […]

FREE Pizza!
This just in! Pomodoro Pizza (223 SW Columbia) is giving away free pizza slices from 11 am to noon today in honor of the inauguration. I wonder if they’ll render Obama’s image in pepperoni? That would be effin’ delicious.

Well, it’s the last weekend that Bush is in office, and you know what that means… it’s another LOST WEEKEND. So where are you going tonight to get your drunken face even drunker? Me?
