Happy Mother’s Day Weekend, Portland! Being sheltered-in-place doesn’t mean you still can’t celebrate the holiday—it just means you have to prep a little bit more in the days before to pull off what you might be planning for Mom. We’ve got you covered on that front down below, and if you don’t really care about […]

One of Han Solo’s best known lines in the original Star Wars isn’t one of his many smart-assed one-liners—it’s a quiet little prayer to his own spaceship, one that goes like this: “Hear me baby? Hold together.” As we face another week of self-quarantine, sheltering in place, and doing what we can to slow the […]

Well, we made it to May, everybody! We’ve stayed safe, sheltered-in-place, resisted the calls to re-open prematurely and risk our health and the health of those we care about, and our reward is… another weekend in self-quarantine, couch-bound and truckin’ through a dense layer of livestreams—a lasagna of entertainment, if you will, made up of […]

We made it to another weekend, a distinction that seems more and more ephemeral as we head into the second month of self-quarantine practices—but it is the weekend, and with that comes more than a few great opportunities to keepyourself sane and entertained, including gala concerts, celebrations of cinema classics, books to read, shows and […]

Staying home, staying safe, and being smart about slowing the spread of COVID-19 is the best way to ensure we all get through this coronavirus crisis together. That means seeing some serious changes in our day-to-day, and that doesn’t stop at masking up, socially distancing, and just generally being more conscientious and careful. We’re also […]

Jump to: Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday Monday, April 13 Disney on Broadway Ryan McCartan hosts this charity-supporting livestream, celebrating Disney’s quarter-century of taking their animated classics and translating them to the stage, often in seemingly-impossible ways. (Seriously, getting Julie Taymor to turn The Lion King into what it became on Broadway? *Chef’s […]
