Actor and comedian, Tom Lenk (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Transformers, Broadway’s Rock of Ages), is giving Stumptown what she really wants – an alternative comedy/storytelling show live in Portland! Packed full of all new, mortifying and crazy tales, Lenk recounts his recent mis-adventures on and off the Broadway Stage. Take that Portland! Audiences have described his onstage shenanigans as “A one-man comedy spectacle of awesome!” “An irreverent, sometimes moving, always funny tour de force” and “The best way to spend a Saturday night other than getting laid!” His hodge-podge, prop-tastic, show and tell, song and dance, audience interactive, out of left field, Bob Ross inspired stylings are sure to give you laugh induced abdominal soreness…..

This one night comedy event is the fist stop on Lenk’s grass-roots, semi-national tour. Thanks to requests on Facebook and Twitter, Tom Lenk is bringing his live show to the very cities that have demanded to be Lenk-invaded! Be warned, if this show were a movie, it would be rated R! Strong language and adult content! Get the kids a babysitter and and mosey on down to the Thea-tah! Come have some laughs before you go to that hip downtown Friday night loft-party you were planning on…no one shows up to those things ‘til 11pm anyway.

Running Time: 1 hour 45 min. plus intermission.

This week: It’s all about The Harvey Wallbanger…..The Harvey Wallbanger was brought to international prominence by then Galliano salesman, George Bednar. Legend has it that the drink was named after a Manhattan Beach surfer who was a regular patron of Duke’s ‘Blackwatch’ Bar on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood during the early 1950′s.

Join us on Tuesday the 27th at 9:15 am the Morning Submission crew will be sucking down a Harvey, or two, or ten live on PDX.FM.

Acoustic Minds, the five-piece folk rock band fueled by twin sister harmonies and deft exploration of contemporary acoustic musical styles, have released their second CD, Live at Mississippi Studios. The CD is the follow-up to last years studio album Time, and has already made a splash on Garageband.coms Folk Rock charts as well their Blues, R&B, and Jazz top picks. Its rare to find a band versed in so many styles and able to bring something fresh to the mix, but this is exactly what sets Acoustic Minds apart from the crowd. They can burn up a stage with Indigo Girls-like power anthems (24 Years), acoustic jazz/blues picking and smoldering gospel-like testifying (Stuck), or sophisticated rhythms and adult contemporary singer-songwriting (Then Ill be Smiling). The 13-track album is a perfect introduction to the raw power of their live shows, allowing listeners to enjoy their tight musicianship, soaring vocals, and, inventive style.

Acoustic Minds features Jenni and Amanda Price (vocals), Nathan Milton (acoustic guitar, vocals), Franklin Gallwas (percussion) and Nathan Carver (bass). Live at Mississippi Studios was recorded at Portland, Oregon’s renowned acoustic cafe Mississippi Studios by Jim Brunberg, and mastered by Ryan Foster. It is available through CDBaby.com or at live shows and Portland-area music stores.

Acoustic Minds began as a three-piece, with twins Jenni and Amanda Price sharing their love of singer-songwriters like Sarah McLachlan and Joni Mitchell with acoustic guitar. They found like-minded artists around the Portland area and eventually filled out their sound to a full band. Their first CD Time was released in 2005, and launched a national 59-city tour. They currently keep to a demanding local performance schedule including a busy summer of outdoor performances.

WHAT:

Jurassic Park is probably the closest Spielberg has come to the thrill-ride heights of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Some might say that nothing he’s done since Raiders has come close to that masterpiece, but let me ask you this: Did Raiders of the Lost Ark have friggin’ DINOSAURS in it? No, it did not. And in a world where we’re inundated with schlock like Dinocroc, it’s nice to be reminded that at one point in the early 90′s, someone knew how to make these things look nice and scary. The people in the movie ain’t too bad, either: Richard Attenborough, Samuel L. Jackson, Laura Dern, and nerd heartthrob Jeff Goldblum at his smarmiest.

Many haven’t seen this spectacle on a screen bigger than their TV. Those lucky enough to have done so, probably haven’t seen it in a theater since the summer of 1993. Now’s your chance to relive those days (for the first time, in some cases) at one of the finest beer theaters in the entire country, McMenamin’s Bagdad Theater on SE Hawthorne Blvd.

Pre-show entertainment will be a blast of 80′s nostalgia: An episode of 1980′s TV series “Amazing Stories” will play while people work their way through the concession line and settle in for a long night of prehistoric mayhem. The chosen episode is “The Mission,” directed by Spielberg, starring Kiefer Sutherland, Casey Siemaszko, and Kevin Costner.

Admission is, as always, 3 dollars. The doors will open at 10pm, the Amazing Stories episode will start shortly thereafter, and the movie will begin at 11pm. A commentary, featuring Mike Russell (The Oregonian) David Walker (BadAzzMofo.com) Erik Henriksen (The Portland Mercury) and Dawn Taylor (Cinematical.com/pdx.fm’s Ham-Fisted Radio & Legion of News) will be made available for download the day before the screening so viewers can, if they choose, load up their iPod/mp3 player and bring the conversation in with them.

Portland Arts Watch is an independent Portland, Oregon-based journalism website that looks at the arts, design and culture in the Northwest. Its impulses are historical and observational. It seeks to build open-ended descriptions and open-minded arguments and believes that both are improved by the responses of its community. It respects creative activity and civil discussion wherever it finds them. Portland Arts Watch accepts queries, stories, criticism and essays in text, video and audio media.

The editor of Portland Arts Watch is Barry Johnson, a freelance writer and editor. My professional history includes stints as arts editor, arts columnist, visual arts critic and theater critic at The Oregonian during the past 26 years. Before that I was the arts editor and a columnist at Willamette Week in Portland, and my journalism career began at the now-defunct Seattle Sun, where my various jobs included classified ad manager, dance critic and publisher. I also worked as a freelance sports stringer for the wire service UPI in Seattle. I have written catalog essays for art exhibitions of work by Portland artists Carl Morris, George Johanson and William Givler.

In the past few weeks we have drank some unusual concoctions, most of which you, our listeners have suggested. They’ve included: Cement Mixers (along with some curdled Bailey’s), candy infused vodka, fruit punch flavored vodka, and tequila and pickle juice (which was a favorite).

We invite you to send in your suggestions to weird drinks that we can make and try. Send an email to info@morningsubmission.com with your recipe and we will see if we can knock it back.

— From her MySpace Page —

Portland based singer/songwriter and winner of the 2009 Effigy Award for Best Folk Song of the Year for her song Free, Krista Herring has been called “the best secret kept in the music industry.” After countless hours of work in several studios, she has just released her impressive debut album, “Lay It Down.” Her songs are soulful, elegant prose set to the beat of her acoustic guitar and delivered by powerful, captivating vocals. She is usually accompanied by her band of talented musicians who bring a great dynamic that is a pleasure to witness.

Some believe that the soul and spirit of this generation’s music has been lost to a void of propaganda-driven, money-hungry, industry-manufactured musicians and bands, meant to spoon-feed people what, they are assumed to want to hear. However, it’s safe to say that any listener with an open heart and soulful intellect will find that the lost spirit of this generation’s musical paradigm has been resurrected in the illustrious talents of new musicians and artists such as Krista Herring.

About 7th Planet Picture Show

7th Planet PIcture Show is an MST3K-inspired live celebration of cinematic camp, taking place twice a month at the Mt. Tabor Theater in Portland, Oregon. Will Radik and 2 or more hardened camp cinema veterans will face down some of the most ridiculous, awkward, and tasteless films born unto this pitiless earth, with only microphones (and probably alcohol). Audience members are not only allowed but encouraged to shout at the movie themselves and leave their cell phones on.

Though the live commentary is the heart of the show, it doesn’t stop there. At the end of the film, audiences may want to mill around the luxurious and dark Mt. Tabor lounge, perhaps discussing the finer points of the cinematic piece they’ve just viewed. At this point, Will may show clips or behind the scenes footage pertaining to the film, ridiculous clips of just about anything else, trailers, or even another movie. Beyond the main film and commentary, 7th Planet Picture Show is, well, like a bo-. Never mind.

Did I mention there’s a bar right in the back of the lounge where the movies are shown? Well, there is. You can even watch it from a barstool. Isn’t that grand?

7pm, 21 and Over, Free Admission. Suggested donation $5 (entirely optional)

Quite a few listeners of PDX.FM’s Morning Submission have requested that we offer up our own Emily Gibson to enter the Women of Radio Co-host for a Day Search — basically, Emily would take the place of Kelly on Live with Regis and Kelly for a day. What could be better? So, here’s what YOU can do — go to the link above, nominate Emily, and keep your fingers crossed. Better yet, track down other nominees and hobble them, Tanya Harding style … what could be more Portland than that?

New episodes of the following will be airing at their regularly scheduled times:

INDEPENDENCE DAY (1996)

Maybe the most obvious Midnight Movie pick we’ve ever made, and yet, sometimes the obvious choice is the right one. And hey, if anyone wants to let Leverage Producer Dean Devlin know that we’re showing this thing on Friday, July 2nd, please do. He might like to see it on a big screen with a hungry crowd for the first time since 1996. You might want to, as well. Lotta you haven’t seen it the way it should be seen since then. A lotta you haven’t EVER seen it projected on a giant screen in 35mm. Rectify that.

3$ Admission. 21 and Over. Doors at 10pm, Film at 11pm. Tell your friends. Don’t let them miss the glory of Randy Quaid giving a spaceship an airplane enema. The power of the most badass macbook of all time. The awesome leaping power of a pole-dancer’s beloved pet. And of course, Will Smith saying “Hi” the best way he knows how.

Hope to see you there.

BIO: Matt Hana Mount has worked at House Spirits Distillery since the Summer of 2006. He learned the art of distillation the traditional way of passed down knowledge from Master Distiller/owner Lee Medoff. With several years of spiritmaking under his belt, Matt has created many of the limited edition, single release spirits in the Apothecary Line, most notably the Oregon Ouzo (unsweetened and a touch spicy), Uchi no Kami Shochu (rice based Japanese-style spirit) and the locally inspired House Spirits Coffee Liqueur. He has produced and MCed last 3 years of now famous House Spirits Distillery Holiday Booze Bazaar, the largest annual spirit party in the Northwest. You can find him guest bartending every week shaking and stirring drinks at a different bar or restaurant with their RPM Wednesday program.

Before becoming a full time distiller, Matt worked at Paley’s Place for 3 years as bar manager (and bartender), floor manager and in their cocktail menu development. He has worked in restaurants and bars since he was 15 years old and has been bartending for the last 10 years.

From the Redoing Media site:

I’m in awe at how this former broadcast terrestrial radio professional has reinvented himself after leaving his most recent FM radio gig at KUFO. Here, a mere handful of the projects Bobby’s involved in:

• Co-hosting the Cort & Fatboy show Monday-Friday at 10 am on pdx.fm
• His freelance writing gigs at print publications like the Portland Mercury or online-only outlets like Cracked
• The events he co-hosts, whether it’s Lost screenings at the Bagdad or the midnight movies there (this month, it’s T2 on June 4th)
• Or his stage performances, whether in Road House: The Play this weekend or in an upcoming performance of Trek in the Park II: Space Seed.

…and if that’s not enough?

• His Geek: Remixed musical pleasures (including the intro he’s graciously allowed me to use for the Redoing Media show, no less)

We’ll touch on all of these ventures, along with the super-special “major announcement of the future of Portland media” bit Cort & Fatboy have planned for June 9th on their own show.

There, we said it.

Even so, three of the four PDX.FM Morning Submission hosts smoke regularly. Robert, Sabrina, and Emily are all slaves to the Evil Corporate Nicotine Dick™ and Unibash Radio’s Jay Mackin has had enough.

On Wednesday, June 2nd at 8AM, join Jay Mackin as he and Portland hypnotherapist Shirley Kimmell attempt to break the rest of the crew of their nasty habit and save what’s left of their pink little lungs from drowning in black tar hell.

Maybe Emily’s throat will finally clear…? Stranger things have happened.

Listen to Morning Submission live right here on PDX.FM every weekday morning at 8AM, or on iTunes or Stitcher Radio, shortly after the live broadcast.

Now, you could say “Forget it” and wander off to a multiplex where you’ll pay about 4x as much cash to see that new Ashton Kutcher flick, or the one where the tubby dude from Superbad has to get the Yahoo Serious lookin dude from Forgetting Sarah Marshall to a concert. OR – you could plunk down 3 bucks, enter the best beer theater on the west coast, and experience what many consider one of the best action movies ever made. AAAAAH! at all the pretty state-of-the-art-1991 Effects. OOOH! at Arnie’s physique. EWWWWW at Linda Hamilton’s physique. YEEEAAH! at the sheer amount of destruction onscreen at any given moment.

Tickets are $3. Must be 21 or older to attend.

And, to kick it off, on Wednesday, June 2nd, we will have a live interview with Ms. Two-At-A-Time socks herself, Melissa Morgan-Oakes. We will talk two socks, 1 set of needles.

John’s Bio:
A checkered past; semi-checkered present. In previous careers have fed 1,000 rhesus monkeys a day, played in rock ‘n’ roll bands, washed dishes at Janesville’s fanciest supper club, owned a motorcycle shop, built computers, restored motorcycles and more. At the O, I was a music critic for years and a features writer until I took the buyout in December of 2009 to pursue a — wait for it — varied career as a freelancer/motorcycle mechanic/oil painter.

I started writing about Oregon beer almost 20 years ago when I pointed out that to write about Portland, we had to write about beer, and everyone else in the room — wine drinkers and mojito swillers all — said, “fine. you do it.” So I did, which was my entree into the coolest community I could’ve imagined: Oregon brewers, publicans and beer drinkers are some of the best people I’ve ever met, and I’m privileged and honored to write about ‘em and share the odd pint with them.

The Portland Zine Symposium includes workshops, panels, discussions, and raffles. As well as tables upon tables of creative folks trading, buying and selling zines. Admission is free.

Through workshops, panels and discussions, Portland Zine Symposium explores the role and effect of all types of zines.

There will be also be social activities in the evenings during the PZS, more on those as they develop..

Here’s a bit about the production:

Flash Gordon had Flesh Gordon.
Frankenstein had Rocky Horror Picture Show
Little Shop of Horrors had, well, Little Shop of Horrors!

Pets In Need (PIN) is a nonprofit no-kill adoption shelter. Pets In Need’s humane work is made possible by donations. PIN has no city or county contracts and receives no local, state or federal tax money. Last year, 89% of PIN funding was donations from individuals and organizations who care. One percent was from charitable foundations. Ten percent was from fees for services such as Adoptions and Canine College.

Pets In Need (PIN) was founded in 1965 by Jean Mahoney and Alice Hodges to help lost pets get home and to provide information about pet care to people. Most of all they wanted all dogs and cats to have loving homes.

In 1993 Pets In Need entered a new era of service to our community’s animals with the purchase of a plumbing supply warehouse and retrofitted it to be an adoption shelter.

No animal suitable for re-homing is ever put to death… no matter how long it takes. PIN is committed to finding homes for each animal in the shelter. Every dog or cat is spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

Pets In Need is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and is not funded by a city or county animal control contract. PIN’s humane work is only made possible through the generosity of people who care.

At Pets In Need, we see the very worst and the very best in our fellow man, but what we really see is how these wonderful creatures that we domesticated to share their lives with us continue to provide us with absolute unconditional love and ask for nothing in return. We are raising the status of our companion animals to that of family members.

Tune in Tuesday May 11th at 3:00PM to find out who throws up first.

From the Robot Uprising website…

If popular culture has taught us anything, it is that someday mankind must face and destroy the growing robot menace.

In print and on the big screen we have been deluged with scenarios of robot malfunction, misuse, and outright rebellion. Robots have descended on us from outer space, escaped from top-secret laboratories, and even traveled back in time to destroy us.

Today, scientists are working hard to bring these artificial creations to life. In Japan, fuzzy little real robots are delivering much appreciated hug therapy to the elderly. Children are frolicking with smiling robot toys.

It all seems so innocuous. And yet how could so many Hollywood scripts be wrong?

So take no chances. Arm yourself with expert knowledge. For the sake of humanity, listen to serious advice from real robotics experts. How else will you survive the inevitable future in which robots rebel against their human masters?

From the Kaijucast Website:
In general, Kyle Yount does not like to speak about himself in third person. So that’s why I’m switching to ye olde standby for this bout. Hi, folks! My name is Kyle and I love Godzilla. Not just the king, either… I take pride in being able to enjoy all of Japan’s giant monster films. Am I an expert? Not by a long shot, but that’s kind of the point with this podcast – I want an excuse to learn more about Godzilla, his friends, his foes and the men and women who have created this fantastic genre! I used to run Henshin! Online with August Ragone, Bob Johnson, Keith Aiken, Aaron Cooper and may others (I was just the webmaster). I also have a little website called The Shrine of Gamera. In 2004, I put on the 50 Years Of Godzilla Film Festival here in Portland, Oregon at the Hollywoood Theatre. I’ve had a really great time learning about and sharing my love for Godzilla.
