“This winter event held February the 4th and 5th 2011 is a celebration of all things Oregon, but most specifically our wonderful Oregon seafood and wines. Scheduled in the quiet of winter, and smack dab in the middle of the Dungeness Crab season, it promises to be a popular event in Portland, the gateway to the Oregon coast and the Oregon wine country. The event will be a very upscale yet festive event at the Oregon Convention Center, promising a climate-controlled facility with lots of on-site and surrounding parking”. -Via Portland Seafood and Wine Festival

“People of every continent on earth have celebrated the beauty of natural indigo in their art and their textiles for everyday life since ancient times. From simple woven farmer’s pants, elegantly dyed handmade writing paper, noren shop curtains, and dynamically patterned summer cotton yukata—indigo is the color of choice in Japan. According to indigo textile artist Shihoko Fukumoto, “Indigo is the color of my dreams.” Achieving a color as deep as what is referred to as “eggplant blue” is no easy task, and neither is re-interpreting traditional Japanese dye techniques for the 21st century audience”. -Via Portland’s Japanese Gardens.

I stepped out last weekend and found myself in delight while attending a performance at Hip Bone Studio. What a joy it is to find yourself watching a performance that takes you to another time and place, one of modern magic mixed with tradition. “Tommy Schroyer’s charming comic character is a descendant of Chaplin’s Tramp, but with routines about such modern concerns as meditation classes and vibrating cell phones”. -Via The Oregonian.
