By Nash Young I walk into Fourteen30 Contemporary, and everything fits: the high ceiling, white walls, paintings, braided hair strung from the floor to ceiling. I won’t mention how much the braided hair costs, you have to experience the gallery for what it is: a staging ground for emerging artists. “It’s intimidating at first,” gallery [...]

Last night, between wiping away the Seahawk tears, I was able to again get on Metrofi/Metro-Fi at the Thirsty Lion. While looking at the PDX PIPELINE and other sites, I was thrown a series of pop-ups, blinking ads, and banners very similar to Myspace, except a little more… Well, let's take a peak. First, would [...]
I created a new community over there b/c some(most) were less informative than jerky. So, if you are emailing me your stuff, continue on, and we do our best to get it up. However, now you have the option of posting to this place as well if for some reason we miss it over here… [...]
Portland, indie music capitol of the USA; pay your unemployment taxes even though you didn't employ musicians. Ok readers (especially in the rest of the world,) I usually try not to get too granular about the Portland music scene unless I'm excited about a band or 2. Here's an exception – a 1960 OR state [...]

Tri-Metiquette #3 is a tricky subject. Obviously, non-verbal communication happens when someone places their bag / stuff / dog (I've seen it!) on the seat next to them. However, what kind of non-verbal communication is going on here? I believe it's different for every individual. Let me explain

Hi, I am a PDX book-blogger (you can also find me at Books Are My Only Friends) and I will be bringing Portland book-related action to PDXPipeline. It seems fitting by start with Gabriel Boehmer's City of Readers, a guidebook focused on reading in Portland. I was initially dubious about this book, thinking it would [...]
Just stumbled (StumbleUpon Portland?) across this…wow Surveillance Cameras in Portland, Oregon “Between 11 March 2003 and 15 March 2003, Bill Brown of the New York Surveillance Camera Players was in Portland, Oregon. Brought to the “Rose City” by the independent arts group Red76, Bill began his stay by making maps of locations of surveillance cameras [...]
I've been using Albina Community Bank for a year or more after leaving the bad, inattentive, non-community-based, and slow (in my opinion) service of Washington Mutual. Besides the fact that I have never waited more than a couple minutes at this bank (all locations), they really support Portland. I mainly used the Sandy branch, but [...]
