PICA's TBA festival has been shimmying its wonder all over Portland the last few days and will continue to do so until this coming Sunday morning. I generally have loads of energy for this annual incomparable festival of goodness, but the mammal inside of me has kept me from being quite as involved (I'm a tuckered tomato with all this extra blood rolling around) this year. I was able to see a wildly inspiring performance tonight - Zoe | Juniper's A Crack in Everything Installed, and a couple nights ago checked out the sort of entertaining but mostly forgetful Rude Mech's Method Gun. Tomorrow my friend Mr. Oswald is putting together an all-ages anything goes variety show Whoop Dee Doo, a hoot of an event that I'll surely attend.
