this boy is the calm in the storm ~*~
March 26, 2004
Who is that boy surrounded by all those cute scantily clad girls? Portland's #1 "go-go wrangler", Mr. Gilbert. He can really whip those girls into shape, and unlike me, he doesn't even use a whip.
Seriously though, it is always a pleasure to work a show that Paul is running -- this is because I know that no matter how crazy things get backstage my crew will be taken care of. He's not half bad at billiards either.

about me
Seriously. Calm in the afternoon. Sometimes can't sleep. Always 10 minutes late. Sometimes can't wake up. Easily swept off feet. Daytime night-person. Lives with a cat. Tends to undercook eggs. Serious, but loves humor. Practical, but loves foolishness. Pool shark. Nice to sexworkers. Doesn't hate Sacramento. Pass the arsenic. Enjoys sight-seeing from a cafe table. Fills in most but not all blanks. Doesn't have a lot of answers. More of an eye-roller than a shoulder-shrugger.

This Saturday night DJ Piaf'll be stumbling onto the airwaves an hour early to host the show he's wanted all along and finally getting, now that he's leaving.
I'll just say it now: "Merry Xmas Mr. Piaf."
I say "stumbling" as I'll have just finished stage-managing the Invisible's Fashion Show at the Devil's Point which is a bar, which is where I will have spent the last seven hours stage-managing Invisible's Fashion Show (that show starts at 6:00 PM sharp!).
Here's the schedule of Saturda...

I need more work than I can spend the time doing sales for.
I've been sign-making / window painting for many years now.
Can you think if there's anything you know of:
a shop in your neighborhood, a boutiqe, a salon, a restaraunt/cafe,
your friend's business or maybe where you work
that needs window painting, sidewalk signs, new menu boards, banners, that sort of thing. Maybe a peeling neon sign that needs to be repainted.
My work, either hand painted (as pictured above - Avant Gar...
