Ladies Home Butchery: Basic Pig Butchery for Women Only,
So when I hear butcher I tend to think of a man in a white apron AKA sexism is still alive and kicking. However, PDX Meat’s workshops happen to feature excellent women instructors. And this week French-trained PMC founder Camas Davis and former-Pastaworks meat cutter Tray Satterfield will be the two women teaching this women-only Basic Pig Butchery course.
I love how when you transition from town to forest all of a sudden the gray disappears into the green canopy of 100000 different shades of growing. To get yourself out of the house (or coffee shop) and into the green, here is an awesome opportunity to volunteer at Forest Park.

Why I Must Be Careful, Raider and Swahili @ The Know,
To see Why I Must Be Careful is a once in a lifetime experience each and every time. They’re explosive, they’re jazz, they’re experimental, they’re one of a kind, they make me think about how no two humans are alike and how incredible humans are. They’re rad. And they’re playing at The Know with Raider and Swahili.
