Issue 121: PDXLR8R!

For this year’s special City Issue, Portland's weirdest and finest tell us about their music, their art, and their uniquely Pacific Northwestern lives. We catch up with Panther, Valet, video artist Matt McCormick, Decemberist/designer Carson Ellis, Glass Candy mastermind Johnny Jewel, and tour the town with Strategy, Reverend Shines, and a host of others. We do our best to keep it real, and the weirdness just flows.
