CTT: Portland vs. Pizza

Pizza?

As you can see from the orangey-red spot right down there near the tip, this is not a “white” pizza, this is supposed to be a normal slice of cheese pie cut in half. I’m finding that not only do small towns tend to like their pizza to be triangles of cheesebread, but so does Portland.

SO IF you are in Portland and like sauce on your pizza, I’ve found that the best I’ve had (so far) is:
Escape From New York Pizza on NW 23rd and Hoyt. It is indistinguishable from Stromboli or St Mark’s style New York slice.

The Dandy Warhols Holiday Shows 2013

NO SHOWS WHAT?

We had such a great time last year that the folks at McMenamins brought us back again for one of our fancy pants dinner and show nights. Saturday, December 14th, at the Mission Theater in NW Portland it’s The Dandys Dinner and Show Show. This year we’ve got a five-course dinner created by Black Rabbit executive chef Kenny Giambalvo, with accompanying wines chosen by Mr. Courtney Taylor-Taylor. And then after the dinner, it’s a silent film presentation with live score by The Dandy Warhols. This event is strictly for ages twenty-one and over and your dressing your best would be greatly appreciated.

Then, Haaaappy Biiiirthday! Who’s ready for some spankings? Oh, we are. We’re turning the big two-oh in 2014 and we’re celebratin’ early with our annual holly-day shindig Sunday December 15th at the Crystal Ballroom – who just so happens to be celebrating, too – one hundred years! Yes, like the Cure song. Join us, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Modern Kin, and Bloco Alegria on the Crystal’s bouncy-bounce dance floor as we toast the holiday season with mirth and music. Then, after the show, join Zia (DJ Rescue) downstairs at Lola’s Room for a 21+ dance party that’s probably going to be pretty ridiculous. (all-ages/$20adv.)

TICKETS
12/14 – MISSION DINNER + SHOW (21+) SOLD OUT

13 Songs in 13 Places Video Premiere October 27th

tdw.hollywood-theater.102613-01

 

Last spring The Dandy Warhols kicked off the celebration of the thirteenth anniversary of their watershed album Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia by performing each of the album’s thirteen tracks in thirteen different locations around downtown Portland. These stripped down guerrilla street performances were filmed for posterity by Into The Woods and will premiere Sunday, October 27th at the Hollywood Theater in NE Portland.

The evening is set to begin with acoustic performances of Dandys tunes by friends of the band (to be determined), followed by the video premiere, and finishing with a Q&A session with The Dandy Warhols.

Plus, one lucky fan will have an opportunity to perform a Dandys cover live on-stage. Fans can record their most interesting Dandys cover – from 1995’s Dandys Rule OK all the way through to 2012’s This Machine. To enter, post your cover song link on the Dandys Facebook timeline (at ) with the hashtag #TheDandyWarholsCoverOK. Anyone can enter, but to win one must attend the show at Hollywood Theater October 27th. Because the prize is playing the song, duh, if you’re not there how can you even win?

Tickets for the show are $12 and are available at the door. This event is all-ages.

Zia Won, Hurray

Zia Won

gnathonic (næˈθɒnɪk)

— adj
literary deceitfully flattering; sycophantic

[C17: from Latin gnathōnicus, from Gnathō, such a character in the Eunuchus, Roman comedy by Terence]

Zia won the OnPoint Community Credit Union Celebrity Spelling Bee last night, spelling “gnathonic,” which is such a damn fine word I wonder why I have never used it, such a cartoon villain word. (My dumb computer dictionary thinks it’s spelt wrong. Oh yeah, MacBook Pro, how would YOU spell it?? Oh, no suggestions? I thought so.)

Anyway, the bee brought out such Portland luminaries as Killer Dave, the president of the Blazers, and the new mayor Charlie Hales. This event was to benefit Schoolhouse Supplies, an award-winning nonprofit that supports public education in Portland by giving students and teachers free classroom supplies. Please check out their site, and if you can, please donate.

Celebrity Spelling Bee Tonight

I’ve never been a strong speller but I’ve been studying and will do my best for this good cause of providing school supplies for schools, teachers and students in need.

Wish me luck!

via schoolhousesupplies.org:

The Onpoint Community Credit Union Spelling Bee, presented by Comcast, will bring our community of supporters together to celebrate Schoolhouse Supplies and our growth and success over the last twelve years. This evening of intelligent fun, held on Thursday, January 31, 2013 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Portland Art Museum, will bring together past Spelling Bee winners, along with new challengers, all vying for the title of Portland’s Spelling Champion.

With the help of local businesses and the support of the community, this has become one of Portland’s most anticipated events. In addition to the Spelling Bee, a silent auction, raffle and special appeal help raise vital funding for Schoolhouse Supplies.

Portland Fluoride Protests

For Portlanders: we wanted you to be aware of a couple of citizen actions taking place in Portland in protest of the city’s decision to enrich our clean and delicious Bull Run water with fluorosilicic acid.

Zia reports that there is a protest happening today (5th Sept) at Portland City Hall at 5pm. Information on this Wednesday protest can be found HERE.

Tomorrow, Thursday 6th September, there is a rally starting at 11am which proceeds the Portland city council open meeting on the fluoridation issue. Information on this Thirsday protest can be found HERE.

Information on water fluoridation we find appalling HERE (pdf).
