Show PAM your ink

by A. L. Venable

If I were told Portlanders had more tattoos per capita than other cities, I would not be surprised. Tattoos have the ability to be both personal and public at the same time. They can be used to permanently mark significant events, an artistic vision, a current (or past) relationship, or other journeys in our lives [...]

What’s In A Name?

by CamiKaos

As I look around the city and see new construction stretching from bustling downtown to sleepy little neighborhoods I can’t help but wonder how each place is going to draw the attention of the masses.  Get a foothold.  Take a step forward and get noticed.  The responsible (and fashionable) way to do it is to [...]

Celebrating Keith Goodman’s Life

by Betsy Richter

My apologies if I’m sharing information out of turn, but I know that there’s been a flood of inbound traffic looking for memorial service information for Keith Goodman.
I received the following email tonight from the da Vinci middle school parent mailing list I’m now on sharing the official district statement about Goodman’s death, [...]

A long time ago, in a multiplex far away…

by Cosmic Charlie

Attention space cadets!
Been hearing Darth Vader’s deep breathing every time you answer the phone? Get an image of Luke Skywalker every time someone offers to lend you a hand? Then I’ve got the movie for you:
On July 3rd, KUFO’s Cort and Fatboy are bringing Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back to the big screen for [...]

SLL: Our Night With the OurPDX crew

by CamiKaos

Another Strange Love Live first was marked on Friday night as we were joined by a good portion of the OurPDX authors to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of a great Portland site. There were too many of us for our studio so we improvised by moving the festivities upstairs and out of the dark. [...]

Happy Birthday To Us!

by Betsy Richter

Just over a year ago*, a few of us stumbled out from the wings and onto the stage — we were the proverbial kids in the barn, putting on a show for y’all as Portland’s latest group blog. And it seems appropriate that I commandeer the 1000th post on OurPDX to make a celebratory [...]

SLL: Afterhours at the Hacker Lounge

by CamiKaos

Things with Strange Love Live went a little differently than normal this week and so the posts are a little different too. Instead of a Tech Edition and an Afterhours on Friday night we did 2 full days of Tech from the Open Source Bridge Conference. We had a wonderful time and were thrilled [...]

From Our Mailbox: Pedalpalooza Pie Champ Challenge 6/23

by Betsy Richter

My friend (and Whiffies owner) Gregg passed this along to me in hopes I could help get the word out, since it’s another example of gluttony for a good cause.
Seems that one of the organizers behind Pedalpalooza is rallying a horde of bike-riders (many of them vegan) to be the next contenders to [...]

Survivorman Speaks

by PAgent

My original title for this post was “Les is More”, but I knew that betsywhim would beat me to death with a lukewarm bottle of white wine if I used it.
The faithful gathered at Columbia Sportswear last night, and soon it was standing room only. Looking around, it was clear that these were practical folks. [...]

Father’s Day on a bike - Sunday Parkways

by Dieselboi

Summer = Bikes.  Well, not necessarily in Portland when you can also find streams of bicycles cruising down the street on the worst day of the year.  But summer does bring out the bikes for those non-commuters or regular year- round bikers.  Sunday is yet another chance for Portlanders to get out on their bikes [...]
