Savor Portland Debuts on PDX.FM
Savor Portland, a weekly show dedicated to a Portland-centric exploration of every facet of growing, manufacturing, creating, marketing, and exploring the things we consume day in and day out, debuts today (Tuesday, February 2nd) on PDX.FM at 4pm.
Every time you taste something new, we want you to Savor Portland.
So yeah, seems like there’s a new show on PDX.FM every few days lately, and I don’t blog about each one. But the host of Savor Portland, Devlyn Swenson, is a friend of the blog. And, most importantly, Heather and I are the guests on her debut show!
With Devlyn, we will be exploring every facet of growing, manufacturing, creating, marketing, and exploring the things we consume day in and day out, but mostly we will talk about poutine, and PortlandPoutine.com. Tune in at 4pm to hear us ramble on (or is it prattle?) about raisins, cheesecake, anchovies, and of course french fries, cheese curds, and gravy poutine sauce!
February 4: Gems & Giants
Gems & Giants: Only the Finest in Soul and Funk, returns to the Jade Lounge (2342 SE Ankeny) Thursday, February 4 at 7:30pm.
Our bi-monthly social therapy / weekend jump start brings you back the beautiful and slept on Jade Lounge.
Settling nicely back in to our big comfy Thursday chair, we continue our work bringing your ears their fix of all things funky and soulful while you get your stomach and head right from the Jade’s ridiculous Happy Hour Menu. Budget Party like whoa.
Change your clothes, call some friends and meet us after work for a drink or three.
See you there.
And congratulate Katie and Justin while you’re enjoying the finest in soul and funk, as their Hall of Records dream is coming to fruition! Last week they signed the lease; in a few months, where It’s A Beautiful Pizza (3342 SE Belmont) was until a few days ago, Hall of Records will be opening.
February 18: Portland Premiere of The Waiting List
The Portland Premiere of The Waiting List, a foul-mouthed, sex-obsessed, back-stabbing comedy about preschool enrollment takes place Thursday, February 18th at the Hollywood Theatre (4122 NE Sandy Blvd).
This is the first feature film from Portlander (and friend of the blog) Mike Vogel. He made the film for less than $1500 over three weekends at an elementary school where his brother teaches first grade. The story is based on an actual experience he had waiting overnight to get his daughter into a preschool, and it stars local actors Jayme S. Hall, Audrey Walker, Bryce Flint-Somerville, Amanda Englund, Teresa Decher, and Mercedes Rose.
Heather and I have had the privilege of seeing it already, and we can attest, it’s a friggin funny movie. You’ll never think of Disney princesses the same, also it will make you not want to have children.
And Mike promises the Portland premiere of The Waiting List will be a freaking event, Portland style:
We’ll be promoting other Portland movies, web series, blogs, artists, podcasts–basically anyone doing their own thing–prior to the screening (more on that in a few days). After the movie, there will be a Q&A with some of the actors. Your admission ticket will also enter you in our speed raffle to win stuff, like being one of the first people to own the DVD. This is not just a screening of some local indie movie you’ve never heard of… this is going to be a freaking event!
Admission is only $5, and show time is 7pm on Thursday, February 18 at the Hollywood Theatre (4122 NE Sandy Blvd).
