When I was 16 or 17, Lene Lovich played the Pterodactyl Club in Charlotte, and I was underage and car-less as far as making it happen. Tomorrow night she's playing the Alberta Rose Theatre (PDX), and I'm excited to aright that earlier injustice. ✨🎵✨

The Yoshida Chizuko (Japanese, 1924-2017) show at @portlandartmuseum.bsky.social is worth a visit!

Up the hill from IcE, we are having nightly helicopter-flies-in-circles-for-4-or-5-hours-above-us terrors.

"Wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?" - the President of the United States of America

www.kgw.com/article/news...

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'

President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

I just discovered it a few years ago! Glamour goth before 'goth'.

The "chaos" in Portland right now.
Some basement organizing and cleaning, spreading outside into the garden.😵‍💫

Nice!

They did have a separate release from the box set of the full version - it's what I got. But still probably good to get an edited version for those that missed that earlier buying opportunity.

Finally grabbed this book on my wishlist from a saunter through Powell's yesterday. Gilbert Adrian, along with Edith Head and Orry Kelly, was one of Hollywood's great 20th-century costume designers. Gay, his lavender marriage of many years to Janet Gaynor fooled few.

I've been following you since Fake or Fortune, and for some reason I had no idea about this podcast until your posts this week. I'm starting from the beginning (ep 1 down!), despite the triggering lock-down mentions.😆✨

Andrew Bird and Patrick Wolf shows within the same week - yes, please! I don't go to shows often as the anxiety of parking and too many people makes me want to just stay home. But once these guys started their thing, I forgot all about that and gave in to their magic.🎵✨🎵

The offending picture-window. Great to look out of, though.😆
