Hurrah! My mum's in town! For those of you interested in seeing her, I strongly suspect she'll be at the Tugboat tonight for Monday Cheer. Tonight's your best chance to see Linsel actually embarrassed (a relative rarity) by the one person on the planet who knows his well enough to really push his buttons -- the one person with all the inside information to make him squirm under pressure. Hear her...
In March of last year, I made a brave and adventurous trip out of town, in an effort to visit one of Portland's close neighbors. I'm talking about the picturesque Mount Hood . Back then, I made the trip on a mission to bartend for a wedding. Yesterday, I drove up there for a totally different purpose. I made the trip with my friends Devin, Beth, Ben, and (of course) the lovely Erika. Not even ...
It's finally feeling like the winter caught up with us round here. A cold fog rolled in today, likely a sign of more to come. Oh yeah, I mentioned some time ago that I'd purchased new glasses and that I'd put photos of them up online when I had the opportunity. Lucky for all of you, Mason left his digitalcamera here the other day, so I've got a means to take a snap of myself. It's not gonna ...
I mentioned a while ago that I was going to try to get back into the video editing, and make an effort to be productive with it. Since then, I've been working on a number of different things, but I haven't posted anything new online. I did, however, recently upload an old favorite, at the request of a 2 year old fan. It's a piece I've renamed, The Funkiest Bus Race Ever . It used to be ...
So, I don't know about you guys, but my turkey is currently on my porch, submerged in a tasty brine, anticipating its upcoming date with destiny --- that'd be my oven. I'm looking forward to a couple of excellent days of eating. I hope you're all enjoying the holiday, that your travel arrangements didn't involve getting stuck in traffic or you sitting next to a screaming child, and that you've ...
------------- Warning Today's songs are likely full of filth and depravity, If you're easily offended, then today's songs probably aren't for you. Those without a taste for the absurdly rude, might want to give these ones a miss. ------------ I'm sure that when I first mentioned the possibility of Swine/Pig Themed Songs Week there were at least a few of you -- perhaps those who've lived...
Anyone got any good suggestions for a landscaping / yard maintenance crew here in North Portland. The guys I have now charge me $70 to visit me twice a month, and I just don't feel like they do very much. I'm thinking I need to see what the competition has to offer. Anyone up here have a good person they'd like to refer? Maybe a son or daughter who needs is willing to work for candy? Today'...
I think I may have finally elevated my bartending skills to the next level. Last night, I actually physically forced a group of 3 people to leave the Tugboat. I suggested yesterday in the fix , that you all should come into the Tugboat in order to catch the musical act for the night, Voniga . Those of you who failed to heed my words missed a great performance by a couple of talented ...
First a little business. You should all come into the Tugboat tonight. Not only will it be an opportunity to see me and drink some tasty brews, but around 8:30 or 9:00, I'm expecting to be hosting Voniga , a fantastic musical duet comprised of local musicians Courtney Von Drehle and Joe Janiga. They've played in the bar a couple times over the course of the last month, and I'm happy to say ...
After a healthy day cleaning, moving furniture, changing light bulbs, and shopping, I'm looking forward to receiving guests for my party today. I've no idea how many people I'm expecting, but if it's anything like previous years, it'll be a night crowded with fun people dressed audaciously. I was putting together a couple playlists to play during the party. I like to have different music ...
