Catlin Gabel Rummage Sale

If you're ever in the Portland (Oregon) area during the first weekend of November, you should swing by the Catlin Gabel Rummage Sale. Each year, the Catlin Gabel community, a private day school, donates their odds and ends to benefit the financial aid annual fund. Generating around 300 thousand dollars, the sale occupies more than 100,000 square feet at the Portland Expo Center. The sale has everything you could imagine; from go-karts to vintage fishing equipment and Prada shoes. Check it out, you wont be disappointed.

Mark Knopfler's Style

Mark Knopfler of the Dire Straits has an amazing sense of style. Here is a picture from the early 80's of him wearing a red, black and white cowboy shirt. Note the color coordinated headband and armband. Here is a video of a live performance of Sultans of Swing. Note the same red, white and black color scheme and the coordinated arm and head bands. Stinking to what he likes.

Halloween Movie: Canibal Holocaust

This movie is so fucked up that after its release in 1980, the director, Ruggero Deodato, was arrested and the film was subsequently banned in over twenty countries.

Cannibal Holocaust depicts four anthropologists trip deep into the Amazon rain forest to film documentary on a local indigenous tribe. When the anthropologists go missing, a search party follows their trail and finds their cameras full of exposed film. Cannibal Holocaust is an archetypal example of the grind house or exploitation genre popularized in the last couple years by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino films Grind House and Death Proof.

I can't think of a better movie to watch on Halloween.
