Bend on David Letterman
In the opener for last night’s Late Show with David Letterman, Bend was mentioned twice. Is Bend all that bad, Letterman? First, when Letterman joked that he was from Bend, after saying so he made a face that looks like someone just gave him a swift kick in the pants . Here’s the video, quip…

The New Rave
A decade ago, electronic dance parties lurked in the shadows of mainstream music. Perhaps better known as raves, they were one-off events, organized and attended by a kind of secret society that would make Dan Brown blush—held in abandoned warehouses, marketed by whispers and built on a desire to create a different reality, one centered…
Fire Us Next, Sisters!
On Monday, longtime Sisters City Manager Eileen Stein resigned (read: was removed by a new city council elected last November). According to former Sisters city councilors, this wasn’t the first time the city council there had considered ousting her for issues of trustworthiness and competency. What is baffling, though, is that the terms of her…

Letters 4/3 – 4/11
SXSW IS AUSTIN A drunken trip to SXSW that results in a self-indulgent story is not the same as actually being in Austin. SXSW is 300,000 people descending on Austin to hear a bunch of bands that come from somewhere else. It's an expensive mob scene that sane Austinites and smart visitors stay far away…

(April 8) UPDATE: The forest service has confirmed that no appeals were received by mail. Mt. Bachelor is officially free to move forward with improvements beginning Monday, April 8.

Eating away the winter blahs
As winter recedes, and birds return for springtime, it is a good time to give consideration to a group of birds that thrives during the cold months, but welcomes back the other birds of spring: the accipiters, otherwise known as "bird hawks." Their downy under-feathers keep them warm, and small birds that flock together in…
Evil Dead Remake is Gory
In 1981, Evil Dead was released and capped a golden era of gore films, which had started eight years earlier with the release of Exorcist. It may be difficult to believe now—after those original films have been obscured by their ridiculous sequels—but The Exorcist was nominated for 10 Academy Awards in 1973, including Best Picture,…
Forget the Sequels and Go to the Source
With the disappointing remake of Evil Dead, stay home, roll back the clock to the Golden Era of horror films, forget that these films spawned any sequels and stream one of the originals. It is easy to forget that The Exorcist (1973) isn’t actually just about heads twisting 360 degrees and vomit splatter, but actually…
Neverwinter shaping up as a dynamic free-to-play MMO
We don’t often do stories about beta releases of games, particularly not massively multiplayer online games. Why? Because the game can change from the betas to the release version. Neverwinter, a pending game from Perfect Worlds is a game based on the Forgotten Realms, which in turn is a license property of Wizards of the…
Call the Pot Cops!
Do you like to smoke marijuana? I DON’T! Now don’t get me wrong… I’m totally fine with YOU smoking marijuana—as long as you don’t speak to me directly, operate circular saws, or try to give me directions—but marijuana affects me in various unfortunate ways. For example, after smoking dope I may temporarily lose my hearing.…
Bend’s Blues
Video poker machines light up the back of the room, and a deep-fryer chugs away filling the air with the smell—and feel—of grease. Sandwiched between beer signage, neatly framed autographed Michael Jordan and John Paxson jerseys hang on the wall. On a recent Tuesday night, two of Bend’s most seasoned musicians, the incomparable Bobby Lindstrom…
Sound City
Sound City Roswell Films In a scene late in the newly released documentary Sound City, Dave Grohl, the former drummer for Nirvana, is focused. He pounds away on the drums, lost in their echoing tribal rhythm, his long black hair flying in his face. It’s almost as if he thinks finding the right combo of…
Out of Town 4/3 – 4/11
portland Jeff Bridges & The Abiders sunday 7 Fortunately Jeff Bridges has a gravely, zen-like speaking voice—it means his singing voice is a whole lot like that, too. In Crazy Heart, a 2009 film about a fallen country music star, Bridge showcased that rugged voice. Since that film, he has collaborated on covers of Bob…
Still as Sweet?
The question for the new Sweet Saigon downtown: Would pho by another name taste the same? I have come to love Pho Viet, an urban hole-in-the-wall oasis on 3rd Street. Despite being—or because it is—the kind of place where diners stuff napkins under wobbly tables, the Vietnamese restaurant holds a special place in my heart.…

Bend Car Crash Rates Higher Than Other Oregon Cities
