Odd request
I'm getting married in June. Unfortunately, I have *never* been to a wedding. I'd like to actually see a wedding (not a romanticized TV version).

Is anyone getting married soon? If you invite me, I'll bring gifts, I'll be polite, and I promise not to fall in the cake. ;)

( Interesting comment from Sen. Clinton )

Interesting...

Portland related, because Portland is gay.

sad news
some of you already know this, it may have been posted here, but i just learned of it this last sunday.

the Virginia Cafe in downtown PDX has about 9 months to live. i heard it directly from two bartenders there - a developer has purchased the entire block and plans to raze it flat and build a skyscraper. i don't know any more details than that.

i have been going to the VC since i moved here years ago, and has been the host of many great memorable times. if you have loved that bar, go and say goodbye before you can't anymore.

*sniff*

Off-Season Painting Crew Needed
Hey Portland,

I'm doing a little winter fix up, and the south side of my house has taken a beating over the last year or so. I'm working on scraping the flaking paint off, so I can put down a new coat of primer and paint this weekend.
Unfortunately, the scraping it proving more difficult than I'd anticipated. The wall is large (two stories) and I'm a little awkward on a ladder. Plus, I haven't really got the best tools for the job.

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with a local painting company that could come over in the next day or two and scrape all that old paint off for $150 bucks or so.

Perfect Toast Soldiers
Ok, so this is pretty random, but has anyone ever seen a "Perfect Soldiers Cutter" (http://www.perfect-soldiers.co.uk/) for sale anywhere in the Portland area? I'm sure I can find one to purchase online, but I was hoping to get my hands on one by Friday morning...

Stream?
So, I've heard some good, some bad things about stream. Thus I turn to you damnedportlanders. Whom of you have worked there? Was it a typical call center? Was it worth your time? Oh yeah, and how accessable is it by bus?
I will admit that I am getting pretty damned desperate for employment, so I might just apply and take my chances.

Help me, fair librarian.
I'm looking for a book. And I can't find it. I go through this every two months. Help me out. Here's what I'm looking for:
  • in Spanish (doesn't matter from what country)
  • NOT magical realism
  • set in modern day

In case you don't have any book ideas, then...ummm...solve this equation:

(12x + 3)(x - 5) = 7

Jobs for a Chemical Engineer
My ever so nerdy boyfriend is finishing up school for his Chemical Engineering degree come June and I want to move far, far away from the NE so I am wondering: is there work in the Portland area for a Chemical Engineer? He's looking for Pharmaceutical Companies (research and development). Company names would be awesome so he can check them out.

Thank you in advance.

there are roller derby tickets left for saturday's bout at the expo center
At midnight Friday night/Saturday morning Ticketswest will be selling around 100 Rockstar seating tickets (guaranteed seats $25).

since the bout is sold out, tickets will NOT be on sale at the door on the day of. i'd repeat myself, but some people are going to forget regardless of how many times i tell them. so spread the word if you care to.
