Public Water Public Vote Event October 7 in Portland

Written by Zia McCabe on . Posted in News, Off-Topic, The Dandy Warhols, Zia.

I have worked my tail off bringing bands together for something I feel very strongly about. In the last week I’ve organized an event that will bring together 17 bands and 3 DJs to stand united in support of democracy and our right to vote. Our right to make decisions collectively as a community and a vibrant independent city. This event will represent Portland in her truest form, and send a message to our government that the artists and citizens of Portland are willing to stand up to them when they are not serving our city and her people they way they should be. Besides that, it’s gonna be one helluva fun mini festival! Tons of music and performance artists, food carts, raffles and all kinds of creative, good spirited, family fun!

Cost: $10-$20 sliding scale donation
ALL AGES (outside stage & Branx)

Who: This event is being organized by Zia McCabe with The Dandy Warhols in cooperation with Clean Water Portland PAC. Clean Water Portland is leading the campaign to qualify the Portland City Council’s water fluoridation decision for a public vote. The campaign is working to gather the 20,000 valid signatures needed to qualify the referendum measure that will give the public a chance to vote.

What & Why: An all day, three stage concert to promote the public’s right to vote on the controversial water fluoridation decision recently announced by the Portland City Council. The event is aimed at highlighting why the City Council’s decision, which was directly contrary to three previous public votes in Portland opposing water fluoridation, should be put to voters once again through a citizen referendum. Petition signatures will be collected and all funds raised will be donated to Clean Water Portland for their signature gathering effort.

Donate To Help Keep Portland Water Clean

Written by Zia McCabe on . Posted in Off-Topic, Zia.

I’m not sure if you are aware of the recent city council decision to fluoridate Bull Run, Portland’s and other surrounding cities main water supply. It was done very sneakily with no debates and only one city council hearing in the middle of the day while most folks are at work. By time this hearing happened, the 5 city council members, after only hearing from pro fluoride speakers, had already decided to vote for fluoridation.

I believe an issue with so much new information and one rife with controversy should be put to a public vote. Knowing it has been voted down the past three times also makes the city council’s behavior quite suspicious.

I’ve decided to volunteer to collect signatures (we need 20,000 valid ones in 30 days, we are already half way through that time, to get a referendum to block the city council decision and get this issue on the ballot where it belongs), organize events that raise money and awareness and last but not least I’m now taking a break from those two things to do some direct donation fund raising.

Yep, I’m asking you to make a contribution. As I’m sure you know, the other side is very well funded and they’ve hired one of the most powerful lobbyists. I’m standing up for democracy and clean water. I’m reaching out to you because I assume you feel the same as I do.

My goal is to raise $1,000 today, I’m over half way there.

Please go to www.cleanwaterportland.org to make your contribution. Every little bit really does help this movement keep moving.

Thanks so much for you time and your support.

Sincerely,

ZIA MCCABE

Our Water, Our Vote

Written by Zia McCabe on . Posted in Off-Topic, The Dandy Warhols, Zia.

“OUR WATER OUR VOTE!”

This is the current sentiment being expressed by Portlanders outraged over the city council vote to fluoridate Bull Run water supply behind our backs and fast tracking the legislation, depriving the citizens time to educate themselves on this personal and  controversial matter.  Democracy has been completely stepped on here! Booooo!

Quote from Fluoride Free Oregon site:

“Portland, it’s time to take a stand on what it means to really and truly care about what our citizens think and feel about water fluoridation. It is our time to do more than just throw toxic and cheap band-aids at issues and call it equity. This is our time to show the world, who is indeed watching, from Malaysia to Australia to New York and Phoenix, that Portland’s water is world-class and that we don’t believe in jumping off fluoride bridges, just because so many other states are doing it.”

Anywho, as soon as Portland City Council voted to approve fluoridation of Portland water, Clean Water Portland PAC filed a citizen referendum to repeal that ordinance. This referendum gives Portlanders 30 days to collect 20,000 valid signatures from registered Portland voters. A successful referendum will put a hold on the implementation city council vote, and allow citizens of Portland to vote on whether or not to add fluoridation chemicals to our drinking water. If you would like to collect signatures, here is the link to download signature pages: cleanwaterportland.org/download/
Aaaaand, Fluoride Free Portland has three times coming up to educate people on how to most effectively get the signatures we need. Meet here: 408 SE 6th Ave, at the Corner of 6th and Oak, Friday, 5:30pm is the 1st one & the 2nd one is at 7pm then Saturday at 10:30am. Yours truly will be there at 7pm tonight along with many other awesome volunteers to help train and inspire you. : )

There are more rock n roll related events in the works to support democracy and protect our water. I’ll keep you posted on any developments with those.

Portland Fluoride Scam

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney.

Did our MAYOR of PORTLAND actually just sign up our whole city to put POISON in our WATER? WTF?

I’ve heard that making beer with flouridated water concentrates it to the point of causing illness. So is this gonna mean that our brewpubs have to go away?

A Brita filter won’t get it out of our tap water so I’m really wondering if bottled water companies go around bribing city officials to sign up their citizens? I’ve also been told that heavy industry creates this crap (as a side effect of destroying our environment) so they also would then want to sell this and thus the big flouride scam of the 1970s.

We have had 2 rreservoir poisoning incidents in the last couple years. Could this be done to scare people into buying into this?

Is anyone looking into this?

Warriors of the Wasteland

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney.

Wow. I saw these people do “Warriors of the Wasteland” last night. (A very lo budge Italian Road Warrior) and it was totally genius and utterly hysterical. They’re doing it again tonight at the Hollywood Theatre but of course you’ll all be on mushrooms watching us play the Enchanted Forest.

Check out this one they have coming up. Here’s the trailer:

There’s No Place Like Home

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols.

Last night’s show was pretty great. There’s no place like home. Probably a good thing that’s the end of the tour, because last night would be pretty hard to top. Wow, what a great crowd.

The Dandys want to thank all the great crowds who took planes and trains and busses and found parking and got baby sitters and worked an extra hour or two just to come see us in 2010. Hope you had a blast. It might be the most fun we’ve ever head. But I bet we have more fun in 2011. It’s always more and more fun. How does that even work??

Farewell to Satyricon

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in News, Shows, The Dandy Warhols.

Portland rock club Satyricon , dubbed by some as CBGB of the West Coast, will be closing its doors forever in October, but not without a month-long send off for a quarter century of service to the Portland rock community.

When The Dandys were asked to participate in this send off, we said “of course.” Some of the band’s most memorable moments from its formative years took place between Satyricon’s graffitied walls. It was a no-brainer to ask Swoon 23 and Sugarboom, friends and Tim/Kerr label mates, to join us. Yeah, that’s a pretty legendary line-up.  But then we thought, huh, what’s missing from this picture. Well, it turned out that missing piece was Eric Hedford. So, for the first time in over twelve years, Eric Hedford, drummer and founding member of The Dandy Warhols, will be performing with the band.

I know it sounds too good to be true. And if you were born before 1979, it is.  See, we thought it that since this is kind of a scene reunion show that we have the party be for ages thirty-one (31) and over.  Even worse news, I’m sure there will be no smoking allowed.  Have you ever seen a clear Satyricon? I haven’t. Seems wrong.

How does one go about getting tickets? Lee has the answer:

So here’s the deal…

There’s a total of 240 tickets available for the 10/16 Satyricon gig and 2 ways to make sure you get tickets.

1st way – We’re reserving the first 140 tix for Pre Sale starting 9/21 at Noon PST. Access to the presale will be given to anyone who purchases Pre Sale [see below — g.] tickets to our 12/12 Crystal Ballroom show. Put simply. Purchase Pre Sale tickets to The Dandy Warhols Crystal Ballroom gig on 12/12 and you’ll get the first chance to purchase tickets for Satyricon.

2nd way – On 9/23 at Noon PST we’ll release the last 100 tickets to the general public. The ticket link will be live on dandywarhols.com.

UPDATE: Ticket Pre-sale 09/23/10 2PM PDT CLICK HERE YO.
