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
