Emerald City Con

Emerald city was pretty cool. There were tons of artist and almost no lines. I got tons of people to add to my sketch book including Xaime Hernandez. I only had to wait behind Nate Powell to talk to Xaime.

portland movie list

starting the list again.

Paranoid Park Before "Milk," Gus Van Sant set out upon another of his small meditations on youth and death and came away with this handsome, attentive and incidentally profound film. The technique is unsurpassed, the acting is sure, and Portland looks absolutely gorgeous.

Wendy and Lucy Another made-in-Portland story about a young person on the edge. But writer Jon Raymond and director Kelly Reichardt have something small and incidental in mind. Michelle Williams' amazing performance strikes deep emotional chords with offhanded poignancy and sureness.
