From Our Mailbox: Benefit for Marysville School 1/7/10

by Betsy Richter

I’ve known my friend Roger Devine for years, so I’d already be celebrating his birthday in some small way this year. But now? I can invite the rest of you to the huge party he’s now throwing himself!

And the Holiday Merriment Continues…

by Betsy Richter

I love this time of year. Even though I don’t much celebrate the Xmas thing, I certainly manage to get invited to events or gatherings that don’t require that I flash my credentials at the door. And that whole “peace and goodwill towards others” scene? I can get into that…
I met up [...]

Behind the Beard – Bridgeport Village Santa

by Radio Gretchen

Whew. I’ve been to a lot of malls in the last month. Usually my goal this time of year is to avoid all shopping malls like the H1N1. I hate crowds and loud noises. I’m also not a fan of pushing, shoving, grabbing, kicking and biting — and doing all of that [...]

30 Hour Day: Charity event? Or Insidious Cult of Anti-sleep?

by Metroknow

I don’t know about you, but I loves me some sleep. I really, really love it. Yeah, I’ll say it: I love sleep in…that way. Sleep? I’m so into it, dude.
In fact, if I could spend my days dozing off to the dulcet sounds of rain bouncing between the lonely wisps of hair on the [...]

Behind the Beard – Lloyd Center Santa

by Radio Gretchen

For the sake of full disclosure I have to tell you that the Lloyd Center mall is my happy place. It feels crazy to even type those words, but it’s true. Lloyd Center is like some vortex of positive energy. Whenever I feel like my life needs some sorting out – I go [...]

So Bazaar

by Jeremy Towsey-French

Whether you’re a secular humanist or a devout southern baptist, the winter holiday has always been a fascinating time. It also provides a platform for events that you certainly won’t find any other time of the year (Tuba Christmas anyone?). If you were somehow able to stumble upon one of these holiday shindigs in [...]

Unholy Night

by Cosmic Charlie

It’s been Christmas season for a couple of weeks. Now that Thanksgiving is out of the way, we can focus our full attention on the marketing of good cheer to the good ol’ USA.
Man, that sounds curmudgeonly.
I have issues with Christmas. I was raised in a strict religious environment where holidays, birthdays and anything fun [...]

WMTM Redux: Founder Ron Buel Responds

by Abraham Hyatt

Last weekend’s We Make The Media conference has generated more debate on blogs and Twitter than any other journalism event in recent memory.
Ron Buel, the founder of the event, has now weighed in on the sometimes-heated conversation. But since the conference site doesn’t have a comments section, we asked Buel if we could [...]

Getting In Touch With My Inner Diva

by Radio Gretchen

Hello, Portland.
I have some thoughts for you today that are more personal in nature than my usual musings on basketball or pet peeves. I have some confessions to make. Hold on to your wetness wicking socks…
I, Radio Gretchen, have never had a manicure, pedicure, massage or any other type of spa treatment ever in my [...]
