Little Beirut is my home.

So the other day I just found out Portland's nick name is Little Beirut. Due to the uproar that people cause every time Bush senior or junior tried to visit the town. I love that name, Little Beirut, sounds cute. I might name my blog that. My friend Kim and I also recently discovered this band called Beirut (talk about coincident!), beautiful music. A nice vocal with great mixture of Bohemian and marching band jazz style to it.

My friend at work is also playing in a band called "days", with another band that is from work, called "soft tags". Come check it out! indie styled good night this saturday 9pm at The Bitter End bar over on Burnside and 20th ave. Also, the SE Artwalk of Portland is coming up in March 1st and 2nd (Saturday & Sunday). I'll be getting my first debut of my own gallery space in Portland. I can't wait! It is a bit informal but please do show up anyways. I'll be there mostly on Saturday and Sunday morning from 10am to 1pm. My friend will be helping me with the curating from 1pm to 5pm. Its gonna be shown at the Clinton Street Cafe. Here's one of the piece I'm working on.

I'm also involved in another group show in Astoria, Oregon, at the Lunar Boy Gallery. This time I will be attending the opening. Also, when I was in Toronto I met this guy named Jeremy Laing. He is an amazing fashion designer based in Toronto. He told me how he is filmed by some website that is documenting his spring collection designs. I was like... yeah, whatever, sure. And then later I found it through some blog. Yet again, I am a fool. His designs are amazing, beautiful, and definitely sophiscated and high end. I'm embarrassed to doubt him.

He's the guy on the right. Serves me right to judge someone else before really knowing who they are.
