FILM—The always-great, fourth annual Portland Black Film Festival—curated by local writer and filmmaker David Walker—kicks off at the Hollywood tonight with a can’t-miss title: 1972’s Buck and the Preacher, a trailblazing western directed by star Sidney Poitier, who has Harry Belafonte and Ruby Dee in tow! It’s well worth seeing on the big screen—and in […]
Travis Button Here’s the latest Slab Session from Pickathon! We’ve posted a few of these already—intimate performances that were shot at last summer’s Pickathon on the mythic “slab” at Pendarvis Farm, a short hop away from the rest of the festival. This new clip is a very special one, featuring a stripped-down, brand-new track from […]

So an episode featuring harassed homeless people that features not only an evil, money-hungry real […]

A new Coen brothers movie is better than that one time your parents weren’t ashamed of you. This new Coen brothers movie is Hail, Caesar!, and it stars everyone you like (Channing Tatum! George Clooney! Scarlett […]
Greg Homolka I moved to Portland on New Year’s Eve 1988, so maybe that means I have a decent claim in knowing some of what is referred to as “old Portland.” Some of these things are near legendary, even to those who hear about them secondhand… such as Satyricon with its smack-copping-friendly bathrooms, or a […]
My best friend and I (straightish/not giving a fuck-ish female and asexual/gay agender) are in a rather codependent relationship.
