Friday Mixtape! Sasquatch Past
Here are some past performers from the Pacific Northwest’s premier outdoor music festival.
Letters 2/12-2/18
In reply to “Mt. Bachelor Bustin,” (Opinion, 2/13) Your Responsibility Code governs behavior at all ski areas in the USA. As such, guests must: “Observe all posted signs and warnings,” and “Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.” Mr. Elliott entered closed terrain and arrived 45 minutes prior to Outback opening. Like all…
Down the Doughnut Hole
To accompany our feature about Bend police, we took our own tour of duty to Bend’s doughnut shops. Luv’s Donut (10 NW Minnesota). A new addition to downtown, Luv’s seems a bit incomplete. The space is brightly lit and feels more like an half-empty going-out-of-business store at the mall than a new boutique shop. Asked…
Outside the Box
The Deschutes County ROCKS Boxing workout facility is sandwiched between a traffic-heavy parkway and Silver Moon Brewing on Greenwood, looking more like an industrial warehouse space. But this makeshift gym is full of mismatched punching bags, plywood-enforced walls and weathered posters of Muhammad Ali to Sylvester Stallone. Coach Richard Miller, with bowling ball buzzed head,…

friday 21 Sassparilla MUSIC—This band can’t be boxed in.

A part of the Volcanic Theatre’s One Year Anniversary Celebration Weekend. 9 pm. Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Dr., $7…

Last Tuesday, Pacific Power announced that it intended to patch its leaking Newport Avenue dam and thus avert low flows and limited recreation on the Deschutes River this summer. The Mirror Pond Ad Hoc work group lauded the move a day later during a public meeting. “I think we really made some headway yesterday,” said…
No, This is Not Your Grandpa’s Police Department
No, this is not your grandpa’s Police Department In recent months, the Bend Police Department has been rocked by a mid-level scandal: In January, The Bulletin reported that the Public Information Officer had been having sex with three female city employees over the past several years—sometimes in a squad car and reportedly in the police…
Flat Tire
By noon last Wednesday, the Les Schwab station on Franklin already had four customers who had blown out tires at the roundabout at Galverston and NW 14th where gapping potholes were hammering tires—potholes, ironically, caused by the roads being chewed up by the very studded tires meant to keep drivers safe. And that is just…
Vertical Integration
So many of life’s best things originated in Europe: espresso, beer, Nutella. Add ski mountaineering to the list. Long popular in Europe, both casually and competitively, ski mountaineering has been slowly gaining traction in the U.S. The winter cousin to mountain biking—you go up, you go down—is an efficient way to cover snowy terrain. Using…
Move Over, Sundance
Over the past few decades, kayaking has evolved, with boats from the ’80s seeming more like relics belonging in the Smithsonian than in the river; so why shouldn’t it be expected that kayaking films also have matured into sophisticated and sleek art pieces as well? “Cascada,” one of the short films that is bundled as…
Film Events 2/19-2/27
Capote Tribute Philip Seymour Hoffman was perhaps the greatest actor of his generation. Seriously. We will fist-fight anyone who says otherwise. During his two-decade career, he emerged from that-guy-who-is-in-every-film to the marquee actor, creating dozens of indelible characters during his all-too-short career: rock editor Lester Bangs in Almost Famous, reform-minded priest Father Flynn in Doubt,…
Jewelry Box Guitar
Sassparilla never intended to play on a stage. Seven years ago, the band was busking on the streets of Portland, and it is still that intimacy they prefer, ending each show by crawling into the crowd, accordion wincing inches from listeners, harmonica solos unplugged but still wailing, and a cigar box guitar chugging through stumbling…
Touched by a Legend
Dizzy Gillespie has been gone for over two decades now. Thankfully, the trumpeter’s rich and bright legacy lives on in the teeming numbers of jazz musicians who worked with the legend. In fact, it is difficult to find any notable jazz musician who has been kicking around jazz clubs for a while who lacks a…

seattle thursday 20 Hot Tuna Spun out from the propellers of Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna has been singing the blues since the late 1960s and, though perhaps with a few more pounds on the waistline and fewer hairs on the head, is still going strong. Loyal fans since the first strum of Jorma Kaukonen’s guitar,…
