Hi everyone. Your editor has spent the past three or so weeks doing lots of shit – working in London, shopping, getting full-on stuck in London because of four goddamn inches of snow, then immersing myself in family and friends and food and FUCKING BOOZE for 10 solid days before finally, last night, giving up [...]

The city’s annual strip club awards ceremony, the Strippies, happened Monday. Several fine clubs/djs/performers won assuredly sexy and maybe provocatively-shaped awards (?). Here’s the whole list. Now you know where to cram your dollars, Portland. P.S.: If anyone has an actual picture of a “Strippie” award, send it over and we’ll put it up here.

You’ve assuredly seen the story making the rounds today about Eugene-area resident Doug Smith legally changing his name to Captain Awesome – a thing that happened last month at some point and made the national news this morning.

Even Disneyland has a secret bar that’s more “secret” than this. The most recent cool kid’s club, the “no name” bar (Central), by the dimly lit favorite Valentine’s, is by no means a secret. The article printed in OregonLive made sure of that. The sad thing about this place is that it had potential. I know of [...]

In case you haven’t seen it, this photograph exists. It is a mug shot of an Oregon man, who went shithouse nuts last week and tormented the peaceful citizens of Milwaukie for several hours. This included jumping on the hoods of cars, unwarranted muscle flexing and throwing rocks at a woman, just because she was [...]

It’s true what the sign says. Tasty and Sons is…tasty. I don’t know about the “and Sons” part, but I’ll find out and report back. I had a delicious happy hour burger. I mean it was finger licking good. The drinks were fun and the atmosphere was muy bien. I will be going back thank [...]

Last night, someone slashed the tires of five county department of corrections vehicles and then hosed the cars down with acid. Who could have done such a dasterdly thing? The Merc has a poll up now, suggesting it could have been anarchists or drunks or aliens or whatever. But there’s obviously only one guy who [...]

Famous footballer and typically-balding British dude Wayne Rooney is coming to Portland, for a week, to escape the sad rock in the North Atlantic where he is forced to spend the majority of his days. Do you know what this means, Portland? We don’t know either. Is the answer “something something something hookers?” No, we’re [...]
