Xanadu: And The Winner Is…

STOP! Before you read any further you should know that this particular post? Is not written by only one OurPDX author… but 2. That’s right, TWO of us. You can see that morganpdx is the one posting this… but did you know that I, CamiKaos, am actually typing this intro? (m: This is so cool!! [...]

Xanadu is Muse-ical!

by morganpdx

Hallo Internets. I’m having such a very busy week this week. I’ve been TRYING desperately to give away a free pair of tickets to Xanadu’s opening night at the Keller Auditorium! (Congratulations to @taradublinrocks, @blabbey, @ladygeek, @stevenguymcdade, and @divebarwife for getting the correct answer, and getting a shot at the free tickets [...]

Free Inspiration!

by morganpdx

Has your writing been weak? Do your paintings lack pizazz? Did the last 200 digital photos flop? Are your jam sessions just not jelling? Is your podcast pathetic? Or maybe your film is a feature length failure?
In other words, is your creative juice-maker dried up like a Saharan riverbed? (I was [...]

Play Me A Tune, Mr. Council-Man

by morganpdx

While going about my day recently, I came across something so …just…well frankly, the only word for it is Portlandy.

On one hand, this certainly is an excellent way to get people to notice you and pay attention. And as a method of drumming up the 1000 signatures and 5$ contributions in order [...]

Soap + Dog / Beer * Tunes = …

by morganpdx

I got a postcard in the mail today, people. It had some sort of strange mathematical message on it. Perhaps you can help me make heads or tails of the meaning? Dig out the secrets buried within the symbols? I have every confidence that together, we can sniff out the message within:

Eureka! [...]

Le Tour de Chien 2009

by morganpdx

Last weekend, 1500 bicyclists all donned doggy ears, noses and tails and biked from one Lucky Lab to another, shared doggy stories and even pulled their canine buddies around in the 2nd annual Tour de Lab. I snapped a couple pics to give you a feel for the event:
The end of the ride was [...]

Following Her Bliss

by morganpdx

Sometimes an idea takes a life of its own, and you become its willing vessel. Sometimes stories need to be told. Sometimes you need to follow your bliss, wherever it takes you.
Even if it takes you to Denmark.
I recently sat down with my good friend and fellow OurPDX author Michelle Anderson to talk [...]

Beef in the Blood

by morganpdx

I’m not a foodie. My palate has all the refinement as that of a rhino. Or perhaps a giraffe. Like the one that thought my brother, about 4 at the time, would be a tasty treat.
But that doesn’t mean food isn’t an important part of my life. And as a transplanted [...]

What do cupcakes, dynamite and dildoes have in common?

by morganpdx

The answer? I found them all at the Mission Theatre tonight.
See, there’s this wonderful storytelling event called Back Fence PDX. I’ve been wanting to go for several months, but “something always came up.” However, the things that turned up turned out to be very, very bad things. Bad things like having [...]

Lucky Dog

by morganpdx

My dog is lucky. I should have named her Lucky, if I’d known how lucky she is. But Lucky was not on the list of names when I got her – just Jessie or Bandit. Seeing as how I didn’t want to predispose her to a life of crime, I opted to [...]

Badass Biker Dawg

by morganpdx

I have a HUGE pet peeve.
(HA! PET peeve. Wait. I’ll explain.)
I’m sure you’ve all seen trucks driving down the road with one or more dogs in the back. Now if you’re just tooling down the street with the pooch in the pickup bed, going pretty slow, that’s ok I guess. [...]
