Bridgetown Comedy Fest 2012
The shy chuckle, a deep belly laugh, laughing to the point of tears or even better – the laugh that is so powerful it renders your laugh silent. Laughing feels amazing and as we have all experienced it is one of the healthiest, organic, sustainable, feel-good-drugs out there today! The Bridgetown Comedy Fest is gearing up for it’s 5th year this April in Southeast Portland’s Hawthorne District. Todd Glass, Kevin Allison, Doug Benson, Horatio Sanz, Ron Funches and Jimmy Dore are just a fraction of the talent scheduled. For four days, April 12-15th, 200+ comedians are...
Read MoreDo You Have Your Red Dress Yet?
Another first for me, this year I will be attending the Red Dress Party with this years theme being: REDemption….End Of Days The illustrious Red Dress fundraising event will take place April 14th at a NW Warehouse that will be transformed, undoubtedly, into a space that will mezmerize and beguile that it was merely a vacant warehouse days ago. The Red Dress Party is put on by Red Dress PDX, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that supports gay youth, and helps friends, neighbors and family members living with HIV/AIDS and other serious diseases. The beneficiaries of this year’s...
Read More“Bout” Time To See The Rose City Roller Derby Girls In Action!

I attended my very first “bout” and it was exciting and confusing but more importantly it made me want to attend another bout – soon! The Rose City Roller’s bouts take place in the hangar located in the back parking lot of Oaks Amusement Park in Sellwood. One of my first thoughts upon entering and looking at the track was, why is the track flat? Where are the banks and turns? I was...

Read MoreScenes from The Anti-Valentine’s Day Party
The Anti-Valentine’s Day party hosted by the Heartless Heathers, a Rose City Roller team, took place at the Watershed PDX after the Roller Derby on Saturday the 18th. It was a wickedly fun party and fundraiser for the team. Spanking Booth, Wheel of Misfortune ( which I did get strapped onto and those girls were relentless with the spins!!!), dancing to the beat of classics, a ring toss that made me blush, tarot card readings, naughty but delicious cocktails. We had a blast, thanks Heartless Heathers!!!!! To mark your calendar for the next...
Read MorePortland, A Pinball Mecca!
My initial intention in drafting this post was to inform about the Pinball Tournament, Rose City Showdown IV, coming up this weekend. I’m crazy about pinball – not good at it – but none-the- less I do cash in a couple dollars and set my fingers on fire, flicking the flappers and flippantly letting the “f” bombs flow all during the course of my 2 minute, or less, game. So when I read about the pinball tournament I thought, wow maybe I could aspire to be that good someday – no not really, but I did think it was interesting in a Portlandia sort of...
