Yes, I know, I know my faithful readers (even though you never leave comments) it has been a while since the last post. No need to be alarmed! A new blog post is in the works even though my servers reliability lately has been shoddy at best due to upgrades(AHEM) *GLARES AT I.T.* My co-accomplice and I are working our “Best Portland Cocktail Locations” post. As you can imagine, this requires extensive research and consumption of volumes of liquors of varying varieties.

You may ask, why so much research? Well, I would never want to lead my readers astray. I want you to be informed! (I’m concerned like that)

Anyway, down to the point. Have any ideas for best Portland cocktail spots? I want to hear about them, so lay them on me!

Blogging again soon,

There’s a great movie rental place in Portland, Movie Madness. It seems every Portlander knows about them. They’ve got more movies than any Blockbuster/Hollywood you’ll ever find. They’ve got every type of movie from Action – Zombie and everything in-between.

I recently saw a movie that I’m claiming as my new Holiday Favorite, Make the Yuletide Gay.  It seems that all of the holiday movies generally have the same story line. Make the Yuletide Gay certainly does not fit the typical. A brief overview (I’ll be vague as to not spoil anything), Gunn (the main character) comes home from college for the holidays. Gunn is out and proud in college and his parents have no idea that he’s Gay. To his surprise his boyfriend shows up on his parent’s door step the day after Gunn returns home. The movie does have those cheesy cliché romantic and awkward gay moments that we all know (provided you’ve seen any GLBT movies). Gunn’s mom is hysterical, you’ve got to love those Midwesterners don’t ‘cha know! It was nice to see a coming out story that wasn’t tragic like so many of the movies out there. Despite the cliché’s it’s generally a great movie with quite the funny ending!

So if you’re in the mood for a holiday movie and don’t want to see the typical holiday business, visit Movie Madness and rent Make the Yuletide Gay!

BTW – I streamed mine online from Netflix on my PS3 but I confirmed that Movie Madness carries the movie. It should be in the new release section in the front of the store.

Remember to Make the Yuletide Gay!
