Further notes on the izVillage debacle...
Sat, August 4, 2007 - 9:52 AM"What happened was, I cornered Lock. This happened in July.
He told me that he gave the whole $12,000 to an Italian drug dealer, who disappeared to San Francisco and was never heard from again. I told him that I wanted the account password. And he gave it to me!
and the day, actually the week that we deposited our first contribution, which was about $3500,
the next day he took out $2000, and every day, he started spending it. He bought a $600 bicycle from Canada. And I want people to know that the bicycle that he's riding around is community property. He went to a concert. He went to sushi everyday. Random paypal stuff that he bought. And he took the bike to the shop and spent hundreds on it.
All the deposits are there, and it totals up, he spent $12,000 on random shit. And he was doing this since March 1st. Back in May, we were having lunch with him at the Red and Black, and it shows that he spent IzVillage money at the red and black on lunch with US. And Karina says, she looked at the account too, she says that she was with him some of the times that he spent money, HER money, while with her.
So he was just having a good-ole time wining and dining some girl, and a lot of the credits in the account were dinners for two in portland.
And we threw that event at the Recyclery, we had a benefit there, and there was a little back room, where only the performers were, the Sprockettes, SMTBBC, and Lock was one of those people,a nd there were TWO wallets stolen out of there. And we all thought, "who did it" - and I looked at his bank account, and the next day, those couple of days, and he was spending money in that same area where those people's cards were being spent, near the Tube in the north.
Everyone was baffled, because they were like, "this was family" - Nobody was back there.
And he's COMFORTABLY staying in NE portland, and I'm not promoting that he get his ass beat. I will definitely be happy if he does. Because people are losing their momentum.
By the way, there's a Judge Judy SHOW of this - Karina and Lock all went on Judge Judy."
And she talked about throwing a benefit at Watershed, and I explained that we don't do that, we don't support exploitation shows, and we got into a big discussion of whether izVillage itself was behaving unethically with its calls for money.

Pissed On, Pissed Off
I heard about what this guy did at a show at The Pink House months ago. It still makes me sick to my fuckin stomach. Who the fuck is this "Lock" guy!? I can't believe he did that. Is he a junkie? What he did is absolutely against all that the creative and independent thinking Portland stands for. This guy is a traitor to Portland. I don't necessarily want to fuck him up, but I think the town should banish him! He doesn't belong here. He's not one of us. "Lock of Portland" should live in infamy as a traitor to the local creative community. We should find a photo of him and post them all over town with the word TRAITOR underneath it. I'm not joking here. This really fuckin pisses me off.
ps Where can I watch the Judge Judy show? I would like to see it.. Is it on YouTube? -PissedOff |
