I hail from Indiana (BOB KNIGHT IS GOD!) and graduated from Indiana University with a degree in getting through college in four years! I moved to Portland,OR five years ago. Started my own firm to help smaller labels and independent artists afford killer pr and radio. I was in a magazine once shaking my ass on a bar in Mexico (MAXIM), and since then thought everyone deserves that kind of attention. You can find me at dirty dive bars around Portland. I will be the one not smoking but chewing Skoal! Besides xo?I enjoy booking tours, writing press releases and reviews, and managing. Seriously! I'm Sick!

Worst person on T.V.: Tyra Banks

I've inhabited Montana, Oregon and the Czech Republic with an unfortunate 4 month stint in Spokane, WA ,tossed in there as well. I am pleased to call Portland my home at the moment and to be using English as my primary mode of communication again. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Anthropology & Business (a power combo if there ever was one) and headed to Europe. In January. For a month of traveling solo in Germany, France, and Holland (a sidetrip that required a bit more time than anticipated). I settled in Prague to teach English. I taught an entire lesson with my blouse unbuttoned. That incident pretty much defused my enthusiasm for expanding the reign of the English language abroad. In my opinion, the Multnomah County Parking Commision owes me $300 for tows and fines incurred in the month of July. I was innocent.

Worst person on T.V.: Chaunte on Maui Fever

I grew up in Colorado and moved to Portland five years ago. I love movies and music, all kinds of music. i love going to shows especially punk and ska shows but any live music is what i live for. I really miss the old meow meow. i spent a year in Florence Italy and became a wino because those little juice boxes of wine with the tiny straws are just tricky. I'm down to try pretty much anything..at least once. I love escaping into nature by going to the coast or wandering around a forest, it is really refreshing. i enjoy spontaneous roadtrips and even long drives alone, it allows you to play in your head for a while

Worst person on T.V.: Geraldo Rivera

I'm a typical Portlander, born and raised since 1990. I'm currently a junior at the now infamous Cleveland high school in SE. I thrive on the rain and worship Powells Books. I'm also not the most coordinated person and I trip a lot. I get most of my musical taste from my dad who, sadly, is more "hip" than I am. If I'm not telling random pointless stories that make people laugh at me then I'm quoting The OC which I'm hopelessly obsessed with. My favorite places on Earth are the Grand Canyon, Disneyland and Vancouver B.C I also enjoy discussing politics on Tokyo subways and debating Bill Gates' merits with Singaporean tazi drivers.

Worst person on T.V.: flavor flav.

l grew up in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Which was awesome, for about 18 years. I decided to move to Austin, Texas to try figure out what the hell I was should do with myself. I chose Austin mainly for the music scene, but there were some good schools around, which is important i guess, and it's still in the south (so there are plentiful sources of biscuits and gravy.) I once met a girl from the west coast who didn't know what queso was. To this day i refuse to believe that. Other than that, I'm pretty random. I visit Costa Rica whenever possible, I read like a nerd, I would lick Karen O's face if she let me, and I'm slowly trudging my way through business school and trying to learn Spanish at the same time. It's pretty que ridiculo.

Worst person on T.V.: Bill O'Reilley

I was born and raised in Missoula, MT I AM A HICK. I lived there for 26 1/2 years. I recently fled the big sky country and have adopted Portland as my new home. I am going to school at Linfield College for nursing. Good luck trying to wrestle the Montana Pride out of me though. I love pink peonies and orange tulips. I love to eat strawberries. I hate blueberries, or anything small and round like them (huckleberries, peas, garbonzo beans etc.). I consider myself a good cook and an amazing baker. I like to sew and enjoy quality fabrics. Some of my best memories involve hiking in the Bob Marshall, floating down the Blackfoot, camping at Rainy Lake, and sledding at Blue Mountain.

Worst person on T.V.: News Anchors

I may be little standing at 4'11 ½". Born and raised in Portland, Oregon and currently attending college over in Vancouver, WA. I'm rather sarcastic so don't take me to seriously. My expertise is parallel parking. I hate wearing pants; they are rather uncomfortable but I have to anyway. I like riding my bike, editing videos, taking photos, sewing and playing bass, piano, and violin. I fly like paper get high like planes!

I was born and raised in Portland, OR. I'm graduated from University of Oregon.. I love music, snowboarding, and putting random useless facts in my head. I am obsessed with Ultimate Fighting Championship and anything related to MMA (mixed martial arts). I would totally love to see one of my favorite bands play inside the octagon one of these days. I have food allergies including 90% of all fruits. Doesn't that suck??
