Eugene Weekly - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Subscribe to EW's new music podcast Signal:Noise ! hosted by Mr. Chuck
I am not exactly the Eugene Weekly, the once-a-week newspaper published in Eugene and distributed in Lane County, Corvallis and Albany. If you want the real thing, go here .
What that means is that I can't take care of your Eugene Weekly needs. (This means that messages meant for EW staff will not be replied to! I REPEAT: DO NOT SEND MESSAGES VIA MYSPACE IN HOPES OF CONTACTING EW STAFF. The EW staff contact page can be found here .) However, I can help you do your thing through Eugene Weekly.
To read the brand-spankin'-new EW blog, click here .
To beg the almighty calendar editor to include your event in the What's Happening Calendar, send email here .
To harass, insult, plead with, haunt, terrorize, bootlick, or otherwise attempt to influence the editor, send email here .
HELLOOOOO! PLEASE TO BE NOTING :
This MySpace has recently changed its "friending policy," which is a b.s. term but hey, sometimes you gotta have one. The Eugene Weekly MySpace only friends people/bands who are
a. Oregon residents
b. from Eugene or the surrounding area originally (and if your profile doesn't list your hometown, how are we supposed to know?)
c. clearly (as in, your show dates are listed) coming through Eugene soon
THAT'S IT. If we remove your friendiness in error, please let us know!
If you are going to leave a comment, please follow these guidlines :
Do not embed flash/java objects
Please, no music/video
If placing images, add width="280" to the img src tag. This constricts images to 280 pixels wide, which is the default MySpace comment box width. Feel free to link off the smaller image to your larger image!
Comments which are in voilation of these requests will be removed. Also, dated materials will be removed after the event has passed (i.e. concert flyers will be deleted after the show is over).
Thanks. With your help, this MySpace can be quick-loading, and easy to view!

My Interests

I love everything, except one thing:

I really hate it when people start me on fire.

I'd like to meet:

I like people who have too much time on their hands. You know the saying: "Idle hands are the devil's playthings." Well, I've got things for those layabouts to read, and tons of activity ideas for them to go do.

Music:

This is where we would list local bands, but there are too many, and we would hate to disappoint.

Movies:

Best of 2006, in alphabetical order: Borat. Brick. Casino Royale. Children of Men. Dave Chappelle's Block Party. The Departed. Half Nelson. Hard Candy. Inconvenient Truth. Infamous. Jesus Camp. Little Miss Sunshine. Marie Antoinette. Mutual Appreciation. Notes on a Scandal. Old Joy. The Painted Veil. Pan's Labyrinth. The Prestige. The Proposition. The Queen. Shut Up and Sing. Stranger Than Fiction. Thank You For Smoking. Tristram Shandy. United 93. Wordplay. Also, not-so-secretly, Jackass Number Two. For serious.

Television:

We hear some guy from the area is on Bones, but if David Boreanaz isn't playing Angel, we're not interested. We are presently watching Weeds and Battlestar Galactica (yes, we're a little behind), and still mourning the demise of Veronica Mars. We are speaking in the royal we, and we acknowledge that.

Books:

You need some books? I got some books.

My Blog
