DJ Barisone is Leaving Town
After years of providing the backbeat to some of Bend’s best parties, DJ Barisone told me this morning that he’s leaving Bend for Portland, where he will continue to pursue his DJ career.
Just last month, Source readers voted Bryan Barisone “Best DJ” in our annual Best of Central Oregon issue, a distinction he’s definitely earned.

A Sports Icon Fondly Remembered
Years ago when I aspired to become a professional tennis player, I worked at a Colorado resort hotel’s tennis facility. My job included cleaning the place, gathering balls for the pro during his lessons, playing with resort guests who needed a partner and stringing rackets.
Go see “Cabaret” immediately
The entire Source staff headed to the Tower Theatre last night for the opening night performance of Cat Call Productions’ performance of Cabaret. All I can say, is go see this musical.
