New Projects, New Life

I keep calling this my new life. I’m ripping it off from K8, I’ll be honest.
Today the Merc released a little tidbit about the newest Back Fence PDX project. Click here for the details. HOW COOL IS THAT, YOU GUYS?!? On the serious. (See how I’m making you click links?)
So, Back Fence is taking a [...]

Tonight!

Hooray! Back Fence is tonight! It’s our birthday too. And we are so excited.
Plus there are swimsuit models.
Tickets here.

If Crissy Can Do It

So, there’s Crissy with not one but two children and one of them is brand new and all bean-like and she’s blogging. I’ve got one kid and that seems like paradise to me at this point because not a day passes that I don’t want to remove my ovaries with a rusty spoon to avoid [...]

Word to Your Mother!

OMG…GAHHHH… it’s tonight! (Okay, that was just for you fan club. For the rest of Portland, I’m cool as a cucumber about co-producing an event at a venue that holds 700 people standing. I pooped myself a little when I wrote that.)
So far, ticket sales are totally on track. We’re all feeling awesome about it [...]

Tahiti Is Back

Holy Jeeburs, People. And Portland, seriously, what the fuck. I’m pretty sure my house is going to wash away. It has rained here for days. I swear it, I’ve never seen rain like this before. It just comes down in torrents, my gulleys (roof gutters, water collectors and rinser offers — what are those things [...]

#smackmyassfriday

Hello, Internet.
For my non-Twitter people, let me explain something to you. On Fridays, on Twitter, there’s this thing called #followfriday. #followfriday must be the grandest circle jerk in all of internet history. Basically, what you do is suggest people for others to follow. Except everyone who is following you is also following those same people. [...]

I Never Blogged Back Fence PDX!

What was I thinking after the event? I’ll tell you what I was thinking after the event: I am so tired. It was a party for sure. We had 200+ people in there and every single person said it was the best event so far. The tellers totally killed and the audience was in great [...]

Back Fence PDX, Mortified, Live Wire, True Stories All Together!

Yep, it’s true! Back Fence PDX is teaming up with the Portland heavy hitters for a night of stories told and read. We’re so honored to be on the bill. When we started Back Fence PDX one of the ways we’d know if we made it was to share a stage with Mortified. And here [...]

I’m Not Meant for High Fashion

Stever and I tried to make a high fashion photo shoot in honor of my new dress, which might just be the most perfectest dress ever sewn by 12 year old Sri Lankan child labor. But I…just…I’m not high fashion.
So I made cat sounds.

The point of these pictures is twofold:
1) This dress is a [...]

Help Us Sell Out Back Fence PDX on Wednesday

Okay, so Back Fence is on Wednesday. And this is our third show at our big girl space. That’s what we call the Mission because it has a bar and chairs that don’t need setting up. It’s all professional, instead of our building the stage like we did for our first show. Yes, we had [...]
