Also, hope you had a chance tonight to join me at the Maine Audubon Society in Falmouth for The Green Carpet: An Eco-Chic Fashion show put on by students from PATHS. As host I plan to use my best Project Runway voice. Although I don't think I've watched more than five minutes of that show.
Look for updates on the Twitter Wire.
Gabe FM is back with more flavor for your crunky soul tonight at the White Heart. You would think that was a poor play on words, but truly, the man loves crunk, hyphy and just about anything coming up from rappers down south. Show starts at 9 p.m. and as always, it's free!
The North Star Cafe also turns one this weekend, and well done to the crew on the hill. Friends of the North Star Vanessa Torres and Touching Ground along with Monique Bidwell, Putnam Smith, Sean McGovern and Bullyclub are part of a big line-up tonight. If you've got love for the hill, the North Star or any of these bands, stop on by starting at 8 p.m. It's a $5 entry.
Ye olde lads of drunken destruction and rocking good times,The Pubcrawlers are playing with Tommy and the Terrors and Scar tonight over at Geno's. If you're in the mood for beer and have restless fist syndrome, you'll find the Pubcrawlers downright soothing. Show starts at 9, cover is $6.
Finally, here's the weekend video send-off. If you're a fan of what's going on in rap right now you'll recognize Akon and T-Pain. If not, let's just say these guys love using the voice coder (the thing that makes you sound like the "Computer Love" guy).
Anyway, see what happens when these two pals decide they'd like to go out for a bite.
Justin is a former newspaper intern and has the scar tissue to prove
it. Justin has been a staff writer for the Portland Press Herald/Maine
Sunday Telegram since 2003, and in 2004 began writing a weekly column in the
Monday Magazine.
If he had to pick a label, the column would fall under "youth culture,"
covering everything from high school dance etiquette, dealing with college
debt, the resurgence of Roller Derby and Portland's one-of-a-kind music
scene. This of course has not stopped him from answering letters to Santa
Claus or writing about his experience riding shotgun in a drift car.
Justin is an export from the Midwest. He is a graduate of the University of
Missouri and is originally from Minnesota. He enjoys bacon, cheap beer,
redheads, Burt Reynolds jokes and wondering what the soundtrack to his life
would sound like.
When he grows up he wants to be an international art thief. Or Captain
America.
Until then he'll be bringing you dispatches about "the young people" and
what they do.
