TBA Round Up Round Up
by shooter
Most publications have their TBA picks, highlights, or complete guides. There's lots of good info out there, so I thought I'd round up all the TBA round ups I could find. Now, you can make an informed decision about what you want to see!The Portland Mercury's Destination Fun is a list of highlights for the next few days, and their amazingly thorough guide to the entire festival is one of the best resources out there.
The Portland Tribune talks about Mike Daisey and Kenny Mellman and Bridget Everett .
The Oregonian mentions Antony and the Johnsons (we are going to that tonight and are VERY excited about it) and Neal Medlyn (who is hysterical). Here's a link to our previous post about Neil along with a link to a video. Brian Libby talks about visual artists at TBA.
Willamette Week's T.B.Ah-ha! is their highlight list, including that important list of FREE events.
Ultra talks about Sojour

Summer Arts on Main Street
by nancy
Free arts activities for kids in the center of downtown? Sign us up. How about a weekly family field trip, meeting at Isobel's Clubhouse and going together? Even better. See you at 11:00 on Wednesday! The Oregonian blurb says that families can enjoy arts, crafts, live music, food and free hands-on activities including paper crafts, hand puppets and the ubiquitous face painting. Main street is blocked off between Broadway and the Park Blocks... sounds like that nice festival street in front of the Portland Center for the Performing Arts , which is the sponsor of the event. Being mistress of the obvious, this events takes place right next door to the Wednesday Portland Farmers Market , so it's also a chance to picnic in the park, with your packed lunch augmented by some fresh, seasonal, Oregon fruit and berries. Northwest Professional Dance Project will present a special free performance for the launch of Summer Arts on Main. Their

Pedalpalooza Splash Dance
by shooter
If you were wondering what the music, dancing, and bikes were all about this past saturday it was Pedalpalooza's Splash Dance. The mobile dance party hit the major fountains in the central city for some good wet fun. In the afternoon, they stopped by Jamison to get their groove on. As you can see a good time was had by all ages. Mobile tunes provided by CrankMyChain! Cycle TV Tree Bike? I think burning man is somehow involved. Rallying the troops to move to the next fountain. Head 'em up... Move 'em out!

Fashion Rocks OTCT
by souk
Old Town groovy quotient rising. Thanks eROI for a great party on Friday night. Creatives and techies of Old Town descended upon eroi's new digs for a kinda fashion dance party (some of us shaking our booties more than others). Not on the list this time around? Just go over to their new offices above Compound Gallery and hound them a bit until you're added to play in '09. You can tell them souk sent you. Ha! We'd love to see more of sartorial stumptown coming out next year.
