Just sayin hello fellow NW people....

24 Hour Comic Book Day is coming up. Is anyone here up to the challenge? Where do you go?

My old friend from Bremerton moved down here last year, about the time I did and I totally forgot! Well I thought I saw him skateboarding near my house yesterday, but his LJ is totally dead and lame. So if you know a guy named Mike, with the nick name "Cananda" with maple leaf tattoos on his chest also nicknamed "spider crack" with a spider tattoo, can you let me in on any other place I can contact him?
Thanks!

I want to supplement my income by trying to sell my art prints. I'm looking for the cheapest frames of, I believe, 11 by 16 (not sure if that was the size). I haven't printed any of the pictures yet, so the size is still flexible. But the point remains. At the Glisan FredMeyer's I found some cheap frames (clear plastic plate and a backing that was either plastic or cardboard, I forget which) held together by black plastic strips for $11.99. I'm going to check out other places, but if anyone has any ideas for anything cheaper, or places to look that I might have overlooked, let me know here please. Thank you for your time and for any help.

Hey all,

I just posted these listings to Craigslist, but basically I'm willing to give the fish away for free if there are no takers within the next couple of hours...

Pond Fish: $1

We need to drain/fill our backyard pond so alas, he little fish must go. I have 20-30 small to medium pond goldfish (they kind of look like koi, only smaller. They are NOT koi).

These are very hardy fish and winter over very well.

Please come with a bucket, we will give you a net and you can catch as many as you want.

We are draining our pond and the plant needs a good home. It's a large plant and has wintered well from last year. I think it may actually be two pots.

It's a great deal for someone wanting to add a bit of Egyptian flare to their pond!

Most random harebrained idea ever:

My friend and I would like to road trip to Salt Lake City to see Leathermouth play. The actual concert is about $15 and is all ages. We figured the gas cost and it'll be around $230. We really can't afford that so we decided to see if any Oregon fans would wanna go?

This is gonna be a slightly ghetto trip, i.e. Sleeping in the car and probably BEING in the car almost the entire time. (I'm bringing a sleeping bag.)

Anyone hardcore enough to hang with two, or more, strangers for two days to see the AMAZING LEATHERMOUTH?

We, me and my friend, are a 23 yr old gal(robot) and a 26 yr old dude(fagbot). Neither of us are threathening in anyway, we just have random crazy ideas that we try to make work.

The "plan" AKA CRAZYNESS will begin with our departure at 4am on Saturday morning, hopefully arriving around 3pm. The show starts at 6pm, we think, at Club Sound. Once the show is over we'll sleep in the car until morning then we'll drive back and arrive Sunday evening.

HELP US MAKE THIS WORK PLEASE.

Sidenote: please be 18+, have your $58 up front, and not randomly kill us. I'll have mace! We could also look into splitting a hotel room if all folks involved are interested.

Thanks!

Greetings, fine people of the PDX.

My name is Ainjel Emme. I'm a singer/songwriter from Austin, currently in Los Angeles "livin' the dream" (cause every girl dreams of waiting tables and living in a shoebox apartment, right?).

I have a special place in my heart for Portland, and I'm happy to say that I'm on the way up for a visit in late September. My music has made a few friends in your fine city, and they might like to see me play while I'm there.

I'm looking for a place to play on Friday the 26th, and I need your help in finding a venue. Know somebody? Playing a show and have some room on the bill for an opener? In-store? Cafe? House party? Street corner? ;)

My info:
MySpace
Facebook
Official Site
(you can ask me for my email if it's pertinent)


Anyone who can successfully put me in touch with a venue / contact / band, please come down to the show so I can buy you a beer. Or a scotch. Or a shirley temple. :)


Thank you so much, and have a lovely day.

Is Halloween your favorite holiday? Or do you just get a huge kick out of
dressing up and scaring the holy h-e-double-hell out of people? Then you
might want to hang out at FrightTown this September and October.

The FrightTown haunted house is the biggest and scariest haunted house in
the whole Portland metro, and we'll be reopening our doors at the Portland
Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, October 4, for a whole new season of thrills
and screams. Not too many people realize that all that horror is actually a
non-profit production by the 1031 Community Theatre - and every year about
this time we look far and wide for the best and scariest new volunteers we
can find. We have positions for actors, set decorators, set builders, makeup
artists, costume designers and more, for every level of experience from rank
amateur to polished pro. And since we're a local non-profit arts collective,
if your school or company has some sort of community service requirement, we
can help you meet it by scaring the crap out of people. That's a good deal.

Preparations have already begun and we'll be starting Scare School training
soon. Go to 1031theatre.org or frighttown.com for more details, or if you
want to sign up, click on the banner below.

Happy Halloween!
