On Wednesday, I attended the Women of Influence Awards Luncheon at the Hilton. It was my first time in attendance, and quite the experience. What an inspiring event! To be in a room filled with so many successful and driven women was remarkable. While we were served a delightful salmon lunch, Craig Wessel from the > Click Here

Phoogoo attended the 2012 Rose Bowl in STYLE. Zach, along with six others, boarded a private jet at 9am, with Playmate coolers in hand. After a short and hydrating 1.5 hour flight, they landed in Burbank where a limo awaited their arrival. The day was exciting from start to finish. At some point during the > Click Here

This is why I love our building. Besides being within walking distance of Ground Control, Church of Elvis, Voodoo donuts and Backspace we have so many interesting creative people around us.

I was flattered and excited to be asked to DJ the Portland White Party on many levels. For starters, with as many as 400 people attending it looks like it’ll be a fun event. The event will subsume the entire Rontom’s space and will be sponsored by a number of great organizations including Forkfly, MergerTech & Urban Airship. Most important, > Click Here
I had a lot of fun spinning tunes for AM:PM PR’s first Birthday Bash. The party was held in the back lot behind their office in the historic fire station. Included among the participants were members of Distillery Row, Cascade Brewing, Zanzibar Cellars, Eat Your Heart Out Catering, and the creative minds associated with PoBoy > Click Here
I usually skip through previews when watching DVDs. But, in anticipation of watching Takashi Miike’s “13 Assassins” last night, my curiosity was piqued when I see a preview featuring a grizzled Rutger Hauer talking to a nursery of sleeping babies followed by a montage of over the top hobo on bad guy violence and mayhem. > Click Here
Wow, this video reconfirms that my DJ skills have a long way to go. I think even if I blew off work and did nothing but practice for weeks I would never come close to having the dexterity to bust out anything close to this live mashup by French DJ/producer, Madeon. Plus there’s the matter > Click Here
Seems like I’ve been in the musical doldrums lately. The sites and blogs I normally find good stuff on just haven’t had anything inspiring. But, here’s a little retro gem I found. Boney M – Rasputin.
These are some pretty clever pants from San Francisco-based clothing company, Betabrands. The inside pant legs have reflective strips. Turn the back pockets out and you have an 18-wheeler type reflective naked lady “mud flap”.

It’s late July in Portland and it’s raining. Summer is already half over and except for a few nice days people here are grumbling about being cheated out of a summer. I am increasingly unsure if I can handle another long Portland rainy season without something to break it up. My recent experimental month-long working > Click Here
