Mindy Tucker / michelleisawolf.com [UPDATE 6/15: Tickets quickly sold out, but a second show at 10 pm has been added. As of Friday morning 6/15, tickets are still available.] Michelle Wolf has just announced a Portland show!

The part-scripted, part-documentary mashup works (mostly).
Following last Thursday’s news of a site-wide hack of online ticketing service Ticketfly, the websites of local venues have returned online over the weekend, and are currently selling advance tickets to upcoming events. These venues include the Doug Fir, Mississippi Studios, Wonder Ballroom, the Aladdin Theater, and Revolution Hall, although curiously, all of those sites […]
Forget the food, the music and arts scenes, the proximity to mountains and oceans. The actual best thing about Portland is the beer. I don’t simply mean it’s tastier or more easily found than in other cities (although those things are very true).

Henry Holt Author James Pogue reads tonight at 7:30 pm, Powell’s City of Books, 1005 W Burnside. It started off as low-stakes as revolutions get. Instead of taking over a busy federal building or seizing a seat of government, the Bundy brothers and their supporters squatted on one of the most remote federal outposts in […]
The new covered patio at Stormbreaker St. Johns will be a great place to sit outside, rain or shine. Jason Desomer Stormbreaker Brewing opened a second location last week in St. Johns, in an impressively large space that formerly housed Plew’s Brews and an adjoining dentist’s office. The new Stormbreaker is poised to become a […]
xro.com What happened on May 29, 1993? The LA Kings beat the Toronto Maple Leafs as Janet Jackson’s “That’s the Way Love Goes” reigned supreme on the pop charts, and John Goodman and Rick Moranis starred in the weekend’s biggest movie, The Flintstones, while President Bill Clinton appointed former Reagan staffer David Gergen as special […]
