I think you see more of the newly CG thing in this trailer for The Thing Again than you see in the entirety of the real The Thing, but I’m still kind of stoked about it? It’s Ramona Flowers fighting an alien, and god the original’s good, so… yeah. I know, I know. It will […]

It’s Happening Tonight!
EXTRA U—With taut, tight tunes rendered in groaning guitars and ragged howls, Mississippi rockers Colour Revolt make music that both soothes and seethes. Coincidentally, Oklahoma’s similarly named Colourmusic is also on the bill, offering wild, weirdo rock. NLw/Priory; Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi, 8 pm, $10, all ages PIE IN THE FACE!—A fundraiser for the […]
Mag-Big Turns The Big One
The first anniversary of a new business is a special one. It’s proof that your idea isn’t going to fall on its face, and it feels like a fresh start with which to implement all the lessons learned through trial and error. The Hawthorne shop with possibly the biggest commitment to supporting local and small […]
Here’s What I Like About the Rodeo
I’m one of those people who doesn’t eat animals and also one of those people who doesn’t do life-threatening thrill-seeking (skydiving: WHY?) but I love coming to the rodeo out here in Pendleton. I feel like this requires some explanation, so I’m making this visual list to explain why. 1. Insanity! With 50,000 people descending […]
Round Up, Round Two
Winners of the adorable R-Up couple contest So I survived my second Saturday of the Pendleton Round-Up of all time — or at least thus far. Things could change pretty fast, as A) there is a one-eyed dog in the house I’m in, and B) Someone just mentioned Crabby’s. Here’s a wrap-up of what I’ve […]
Chapter.1 Postponed
Looks like the fashion-hungry men of Portland are going to have to wait a little bit longer for a fashion show of their very own. Less than three weeks ago the Chapter.1 all-menswear show was announced (featuring Joshua Buck for Chicago Harper, Devonation, and Pinkham Millinery), and now it has been postponed, “due to a […]
Round Up Ready!
Hey there, fella. I am wearing a giant belt buckle and got to work early to blast Top 40 country. This can only mean one thing. It’s Pendleton Round-Up weekend! Any Oregonian with an interest in spectacle and/or history and/or cowboys in tight jeans should make it out to the Pendleton Round-Up at least once […]
The Content 2011 Lineup
It’s really really real, guys: Content is back! I’ve been on the planning committee to resurrect the now-legendary event that went down two years ago at the Ace Hotel, so I’ll keep most of my conflict of interest-y thoughts to myself, but in the interest of your own information, know that the event details are […]
For the Love of Boobs
I did not compose the title of this post as a cheap way to grab your attention. The American Cancer Society did. For the Love of Boobs is the name of an upcoming fashion show benefit for their Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign (note to self: be careful what you wish for) of merchants […]
PDX Clown Update
A surprising amount of clown-related news has already popped up across the region this week. And, like the distinction between most clowns, we have good news and bad news. Q: What’s worse than a creepy bus driver being charged for child sex abuse? A: If the bus driver is a former clown. On Friday, a […]
It’s Happening Tonight!
HEY LADIES—A historical talk about lesbian separatist communities in Oregon? Yes. Please. The only way this could be better is if there were snacks. Oh, wait, it’s in a bar? Dear Lord. This installment of Oregon Encyclopedia’s Stumptown Stories series is a must see. SMJack London Bar at the Rialto, 529 SW 4th, 7:30 pm, […]
It’s Happening Tonight!
GOLDWING—The sixth album from space-cowboy outfit Blitzen Trapper hits stores tomorrow, but before you get your paws on the rootsy, cosmic American Goldwing, check out an intimate in-store show from the Portland band, in which they’ll pack the cluttered aisles of Music Millennium with fans eager to hear brand-new tunes. NLMusic Millennium, 3158 E Burnside, […]
