The PROmotion game

So I'm learning a lot in the first few months of owning my own PROmotion company and I must say that it's a blessing to be involved in such an influential industry. I truly look forward to working with local artists, musicians, and other promoters trying to help Portland on the map.
There is a reason why the Merc joked that everyone here is an artist, or a musician and rides a bike. If you are, or know someone who I might help get their talents out there please contact me through my website http:www.reppdx.com Good luck to everyone trying to survive and help one another through these tough times.

Don't blink! I mean do go there!

blink just hooked me up with new specs for Portland Fashion Week next Wednesday. Everyone there is dope. Dr. Armstrong, Blakely, and especially Kevin who picked out my frames on the first try. Love em!

Bend me over

So I have just returned from Bend, OR where I must say that I was less than impressed. The "promotion" company (and I use that term lightly" failed to pack the house meaning that at the end of the night my artist did not get paid even though he blew the stage and upstaged the headliners.
Come out and show some love in Portland, ORE and let's show Los Angeles how RIP CITY does it. It's going down and REP PDX is putting local talent on the map. Stay tuned...

THE MIGHTY MIGHTY ARBOR LODGE!

So this chump (and I do mean CHUMP) Dan Jordan thinks that people who live in Beavertron can actually hoop? Like after they drone out at their desk jobs with their ties on all day that they can get in their gas guzzling SUV in the City vehicles and drive 2 blocks to the nearest gym (stopping off at Starfucks for a triple soy vanilla latte with non fat milk or some other bs) to put on their designer workout attire and play basketball?
NO! We're kepin it ghetto and we're bringin the streets behind us out to the BURBS where we are going to whoop up on some suits! I guarantee victory! You heard it here first!

OREGANIC APPAREL

So it's official like a referee with a whistle (thanks E40), OREGANIC APPAREL is a live, healthy company. www.oreganic.org is the temporary website that will be expanded once venture capitalists have been secured.
It's a bit odd sitting up here on the 15th floor of the NINES Hotel with all of these D Bags, but the help is good, the drinks can be made properly, and well, you can't beat the view! Speaking of the help, I really do believe that everyone hired here must have been selected on experience, knowledge of the industry, and being effing HOT! The uniforms the wait staff and the hostesses wear is right off a fucking runway. Let's not get into thw women wearing them!
On the downside of things the clientele are nothing short of rude, D Bag, tools. Everyone is straight out of a magazine and they even talk like it. Civilization clearly escaped these humans (if you can even call them that). Loud, obnoxious, drunk, silver spoon sucking corporate American drones. Polo shirt wearing, khaki pants, tucked in collared shirt, braided belt wearing fools.
The worst part of the whole thing is that people like this reproduce. It's not even that they think they're cool. It's that they just don't get it.
Well, it makes for some great people watching. Between the hotties passing me by and the b.o.d's I wish would just leave, I guess that I will have to keep coming here.

EPIC 31st Birthday Party Recap

So it has been a long time since I really took my birthday seriously and this year had to be the exception. I went all out in a sense. I made a concert type poster detailing out how my party would be held at a local Bar/Club the GOODFOOT where every last Friday of the month is FUNK night. It would start at 10pm since I had to work until 9pm and would be a dance/pinball/beerfest! The after hours party was set to be the Hawthorne Carts (a series of food carts outside on Hawthorne and 12th).
Here's the recap: Left work shortly after 9pm and began skating south towards the GOODFOOT on 28th and SE Stark. My common sense got the best of me and I realized that I wanted a celebratory beer a lot sooner than the GOODFOOT and so I stopped off at the Florida Room where a regualr customer Heather hooked it up! Tuna Melt with Cheddar cheese and tots washed down with ice cold pints of PBR! So good, much love Heather!
This random blond Stephanie was ordering a drink atthe bar where I was eating and commented on my tator tots. After giving her some we continued to flirt and then she got her drink and left. I was in a hurry, but decided to look around and give her the rest of my tots. Found her in the back room with some cute girlfriends and just handed her the basket to which she said "you" with a cute smile. I smiled back and told her "I told you I wouldn't finish them" and walked out with her friends saying goodbye to my back (always leave them wanting more).
Back on my skate it was off into the darkness and bombing south on Vancouver. After reaching the Rose Garden Arena I had pretty much decided that this would be a skate crawl from fave bar to fave bar until I reached the GOODFOOT.
