Upon reading this piece in VICE (It’s Not Your Imagination: Millennials Are Poorer Than Their Parents, Investigation Finds), Sabrina Volante made the same mistake I make time and again due to it being an occupational hazard in proximity to my trade—she read the comments. She then broadly commented on the matter on her Facebook page. […]
Donald Trump is coming to Portland tomorrow and so us savvy bloggers likely try to use this opportunity to earn some quick and easy traffic for our blogs. For my part, I have considered using this opportunity to write something polarizing about the candidate and his stances (or, more specifically, his lack thereof). This really fires people up. Those who agree with […]
A colleague recently asked me to offer advice or insights for young Portland-based creative professionals looking for internships, entry level jobs related industry experience.

I recently stumbled upon this glorious archived Reddit post in which Mainers offer advice on how to survive a winter in Maine. Here I have pulled some of the best nuggets and tried to organize the advice around categories so that it is a bit easier to sort through. Should you have the time, though, […]
In the article 15 Great Albums You Didn’t Hear in 2015, Armies, an endeavor of Anna Lombard and Maine rock veteran Dave Gutter, got some love: With Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin’s duets in mind, their voices blend perfectly on an excellent set about characters that are sad, vengeful, seedy, sneaky and jealous.

That’s Sunday, not sundae. THIS IS A NO PUN ZONE. Anyway, my very favorite ice cream shop, Catbird Creamery, will be on Unique Sweets at 10p this Sunday. Unique Sweets is on the Cooking Channel.
