Friday night was 2Everything2Terrible2: Tokyo Drift -- the Portland stop on Everything is Terrible's Quest for the Magick Crystal Tour. As an experience, it was nearly indescribable; even if you're a fan of EIT's niche schtick. It was two hours of mind-melting found (VHS) footage blended together into dada oblivion. Or something like this...




Complete with stripping motivational speakers, alien overlords, and an altar of Jerry Maguire VHS cassettes.

Tomorrow (Monday) night, photographer/Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner will be at Powell's, along with Zachary Lipez and Stacy Wakefield, to present the new collaboration, Please Take Me Off the Guest List.
Zinner's photographs, Lipez 's essays, Wakefield's book design.

Zinner is a fantastic photographer, so it's worth checking out for the photos alone. But Lipez's essays are pretty great too; and short, so they're easy reads.


a few of Zinner's photos, not necessarily from the aforementioned book
