I WAS THE ARTS EDITRIX

Get the facts straight! LOL
Addendum: this is referring to an article I vaguely recall writing eight years ago. I have no idea what it said (when the WW's weird publisher mentioned this article to me at a party a couple nights ago I didn't even remember that the director of a major national music festival had written me a letter telling me to "fuck off" hahaha). I do, however, remember what I titled it: "North By Northwest: Au Revoir to a Load of Crap." No what did I really think of it? GREAT KICKER, 19-YEAR-OLD VERSION OF JSHEP. [shut up, my industry age is 27. i just turned it.]

Oh yeah: I'm in Portland. I'm mostly twittering from shows and sending my friends BBMs with inside jokes about Portland hip-hop and Birkenstocks but there will be blogs both here and the old official spot on el FADER dot com. I saw some band called Starfucker last night that I was pretty ehhhh on but yo, No Age and Deerhunter on the same day, okay. The only thing that would have made it better as far as band bills go: Lizzi Bougatsos. Tonight is TVOTR, which I am pumped about because oh p.s. their NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING. And a load of other PDX bands with cleverly spelled names.
