Last night I attended an event put together by the lovely people at Caterwaul Quarterly . You have probably never heard of this publication, but it is definitely worthy of your attention. The occasion was the release of the print editions of CQ. I had previously read a few articles online, but it was nice to have a hard copy. On the train ride home I tore through the first issue; I seriously could not put it down. If you’re still skeptical, read this article first – written by the Editor-In-Chief (and former student body president of my college) Daniel Denvir.
The event was emceed by Toby David. He was definitely a character and talked about bananas, creationism, and someone named becky who is his wife, but he pretended she was his sister… and so on and so forth. Hey Toby, if you want to emcee another event give us a call.
At some point Jeffrey Jerusalem came on with his totally danceable electronic jams. I guess he’s big in portland and if the shirt my friend gave me my freshman year of college is any indication, “Portland is the new Brooklyn”. So get on that band wagon before the entire west coast does.
The night ended with a performance by Bobby Birdman and his crew. Check his stuff out NOW. Better yet, if you are in nyc area you should see him live tomorrow night at the Bowery Ballroom with our girl MNDR and Yacht. Good times are pretty much guaranteed with the purchase of your ticket.
And this was bound to happen sooner or later, but last night as the train approached the station someone shouted “Hey everybody! Here comes the choo choo!” and I thought to myself… that is so Raven.
