Get Temporarily Insane for Only 10 Bucks at Back Fence PDX

by mediaChick

There are only a few local events that I am willing to blatantly pimp (I mean, extol the virtues of) as I do for Back Fence PDX. It’s not just because my beautiful raven-haired friend novelist Melissa Lion and her flaxen-haired comedienne business partner produce it, or because it’s a chance to gain 3 inches [...]

Entertain Me, Damn It

by CamiKaos

SLL: When the Bloggers Come Home

by CamiKaos

Friday night we were joined by Portland blogging babes Kathryn Martini and Melissa Lion who spent the end of last week in Chicago at BlogHer 09. Being the opportunists that we are, we asked them if they’d join us on the couch to give us a rundown on their BlogHer experience. They did [...]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?

by A. L. Venable

In a few days, I will be in the land of Pitchfork Media, hot dogs with day-glo colored relish, and the extremely scary skydeck attached to the Sears Tower — Chicago — to attend the 2009 BlogHer Conference. Last month, I met up with a group of women at Posies Cafe to put faces to [...]

Five Cheers for Five Stars for the Multnomah County Library System

by djtv

Maybe it’s the smell, or the infinite possibilities of books and the stories inside them, but I’ve always loved the library. I spent every Saturday at my small local library as a kid. The library in the town I lived in was only open for 4 hours on Saturday, so, I raced down there to [...]

Back Fence PDX this Wednesday!

by Betsy Richter

Melissa Lion — she of the ““distinctive, curly mop of black hair”, according to The O — reminded me earlier today that the latest Back Fence PDX is happening at the Mission Theater this Wednesday at 7:30 pm. And because she’s all “lively and animated” — not to mention pleasant and/or perky (I [...]

Who Knew I Was a Hipster?

by Betsy Richter

According to KGW last night, Ignite Portland 4 was a ‘hipster event’ (cough, cough). Really? I had no idea I was now part of the hipster scene! But while we did have a fair amount of black on display, I’d like to think that the offerings were far more nuanced. I [...]

WARNING: This episode of Strange Love Live contains explicit content.
Friday night the Strange Love studio played host to two very sexy guests and one very sexy audience member… As stunning as they all were to look at, their real sex appeal on Friday was their calm frankness in discussing sex. There were so many [...]

Back Fence PDX – this Wednesday!

Hooray – the kid’s at sleepaway camp this week, so I can absolutely, positively without a doubt be able to attend Back Fence PDX this time around. Back Fence PDX is the brilliant brainchild of Melissa Lion & Frayn Masters (collectively known as the Back Fence Babes). They’re so brilliant they even have [...]
