The Rumble is a national rock show that recently branched out to Portland. My band played the last event, and it was a blast. The shows are always free, although this next one says “limited space” so get to Cravedog early.

Cute, Deadly Portland Cream
July 29, 2009 8:38 am by Lauren Hudgins
Between his accessible book Reading Comics and delightfully sophisticated reviews, Portland writer, Douglas Wolk, makes comics fun even for intellectual snobs.
Douglas carries a sketchbook around with him, especially to conventions (such as the recent horrorshow of San Diego Comic-Con) and asks artists to draw in it. I have to share this recent work by Portland comics artist, Indigo Kelleigh, featuring the Portland Cream by Voodoo Doughnuts.

You can see other sketchbook masterpieces at one of Douglas’s blogs, Lacunae.

Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley
11:30 am by Lauren Hudgins
Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls) is in town. The night before last she invited fans to go with her to the strip club Mary’s via Twitter. Last night she welcomed anyone who wanted to join her for a ukulele concert in the north Park blocks.
Around 70 people got the word and joined her in the grass. I arrived for the last three songs which were a sweet piece about her childhood home, a cover of Two-Headed Boy (by Neutral Milk Hotel), and a cover of Creep (by Radiohead). Just as she was singing “You’re so fucking special,” a woman in a long green floral dress and a beaded antler headdress waltzed into the crowd.

Amanda later wore the headdress in a photoshoot with Jason Webley on the stacked-elephant statue. She and Jason performed “Elephant, Elephant” from their joint music project Evelyn Evelyn on top of the elephant.
Amanda Palmer has created a book with Neil Gaiman. (The two were introduced by Jason Webley.) Amanda collected staged photos of her death and Neil wrote stories to go along. Who Killed Amanda Palmer: A Collection of Photographic Evidence is available on her website. After the music in the park, Amanda put Neil on speakerphone for her admirers to hear. One fangirl was so overwhelmed with multiple nerdgasms that she turned bright red and hyperventilated.
