Mel Blanc Day
Wednesday, June 29
7:30 p.m. | FREE | All Ages

Lincoln Hall on PSU Campus

“Today Is Yesterday & Tomorrow Is Today” was the motto for the KGWs “Honorable Order of Hoot Owls Roosting In The Oregonian Tower”, the radio show which gave Mel Blanc his first paid employment as a voice artist.

The Hoot Owls was a weekly hour and a half long show with more than one million listeners. It had been broadcasting for four years when Mel Blanc joined the cast in 1927. He moved to KEX, a KGW affiliate in 1933 to write, produce and star in his own hour long daily (Monday through Saturday) show, “Cobweb & Nuts”. After two years of this exhausting schedule, he moved to Hollywood, well prepared for everything he found there.

ANDAZ is such a Portland institution it is mentioned in the travel guides Best Places Portland 8th Edition and the Moon Handbook Portland; fitting recognition for Portland’s longest-running monthly dance party.

Sprokettes at Multnomah County Bike Fair
SE Portland, Oregon

Portland’s Pedalpalooza events are wrapping up this weekend, but one of the best events is still to come–the Multnomah County Bike Fair. It appears to have moved from the traditional location of Colonel Summers Park to “12th and Alder”…which I guess means Washington high school. Here is the description from a few years back:

HOT DAMN, WE’RE HAVING A FAIR!
And you’re going to want to be there! The Multnomah County Bike Fair brings 1,200 people together to celebrate, in bicycle mayhem-fashion, the close of Shift’s Pedalpalooza.Come to visit fun booths, vendors, and bicycle crafts. And do partake in the competitions because competing is free and it’s about the fun, not the winning you know.
