I’ve never seen more than a single episode of Buffy (at a friend’s insistence) and have never exposed myself to any other of Joss Whedon’s creations. I had long ignored his Astonishing X-Men run until I was recently flipping through a trade paperback collection and found myself drawn in by John Cassaday’s artwork. I love [...]

Last Friday’s Oregonian A&E ran an article raving about the new Indian restaurant in Hillsboro called Chennai Masala. For years Anjali and I have always had to answer questions about where to eat the best Indian food in Portland. Other than the Chaat House cart downtown or the Chole Bhatura at the Kalga, we’ve always [...]

So I could tell a long story about my history with Ed Brubaker but I’m not up for it right now. Let’s just say that I never thought I’d see the man write a mainstream superhero comic, much less a huge chunk of the Marvel Comics line. So in addition to Daredevil and Captain America [...]

Tonight I’m scheduled to play a party in honor of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the most recent incarnation of the Portland Wobblies. According to the host, Lil’ Pete will also be DJing tonight. The joke is that I owe my DJ career to Lil’ Pete and I’ve never even seen the man [...]

My Hyperbole catches up to me in print

Anyone who has spoken to me knows that my speaking style involves a great deal of exaggeration, over-dramatization and hyperbole. I have such a fondness for this way of speaking, perhaps because I don’t often see my words in print. In this week’s Willamette Week article on this Saturday’s Atlas three year anniversary party I [...]

We just got back from DJing Shringara in Seattle, a new night dedicated to “Seattle’s new Asian sound.” An Asian underground night that Anjali is infinitely qualified to DJ and I thought,”I’ll come up with something.” I’ve been following the Asian underground sound since the ’90s but I’ve never found more than a few [...]
