I went to the Portland Social at the Alibi. Even if there hadn't been the
SubBabes there to gawk at, the restaurant-bar itself has a Tiki decor that
can't be beat and some very, UHHHhhh, talented Karioki regulars.

Ahh, that guy didn't even mention any of the best parts. It was a wonderful devival. Hell, Dobbs showed up for the first time in 15 years! And nobody shot him! I threw up, though. Seriously, I threw up into the trash can in the dressing room after having to sit in the limosine and listen to DOBBS tell ME that I owe HIM MONEY!! And then I ended up buying a Tums from him for like $250!! But that actually felt so GOOD, you see. There was a woman with a TALKING VAGINA at this devival, Vagina Jones, giving interviews. (I love them Jones girls!) Onan and Nenslo both sang their greatest hits; even the MOST HATEFUL NENSLO had the WHOLE AUDIENCE stomping and clapping to "Take Me Off to Space" -- with NEW LYRICS incidentally! After hearing the Duke of Uke's cover of "L.A. Woman," on his ukelele, I can't imagine a devival without that! The mighty Rev. Crawford Smith managed to offend literally every person in the entire place WITHOUT EVEN MEANING TO.(You know how those Smith boys are.) Popess Nikita displayed the OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION from the International Star Registry which names a certain stellar object "CONNIE 1999 PDX"!! Nobody was killed! I made up for my abysmal Seattle performance! The backstage limo frappy was INCREDIBLE and HEALING! And DOCTOR HOWL howled all night long! And none other than Rev. Donna Kossy was drafted to be main Sales Table Swaggart! And the HOT Devil Girl, Rev. Mauly Cauddle, made sure EVERY PREACHER made it to the stage in an excited state! IT WAS A FITTING "LAST DEVIVAL BEFORE XX-DAY" INDEED!

Now THAT'S an unbiased review of a devival, Dr. Legume.

Now I am home and hit the ground running... 2 weeks before we LAUNCH OFF FROM DALLAS 4 XX-DAY!!

Lemuria Rising Featured in Portland Alternative Newsweekly

According to...

http://www.wweek.com/html/musiclist.html#5

... LEMURIA RISING, the Portland Devival, required its own category of
'entertainment' (they listed us under "Quasi-Religious"), made us a Pick
of the Week, and had this to say...

LEMURIA RISING
Somewhere between stupid and serious lies the Church of the Subgenius.
Many wacky events have been held under the banner of this parody
"religion"; one scheduled in Boston last month gained national attention
when it was canceled after rumors that the church was in some way
connected to the Trenchcoat Mafia. The ACLU is investigating. Now, a
group of Portlanders brings church icon J.R. "Bob" Dobbs to town for an
evening dedicated to the reemergence of "Lemuria," a mystical kingdom
these freaks claim existed on the very soil upon which we now stand.
What? The Rev. Ivan Stang, Onan Cannobite, the Duke of Uke, Nikita
Gardner, Howland Owl and Crawford Smith are a few of those turning out
for this evening of weirdo music, alien-worship propaganda, preachings
and healings. Brilliant and subversive or ponderous and self-obsessed?
You be the judge. When local rock stars A nat HEMA, also scheduled to
perform, were contacted about the occasion, they didn't seem to know
what the hell was up with it at all. They pleaded ignorance, simply
stating, "We're just doin' an '80s tribute, man." (JF)

I like that. But why so "EITHER-OR"?
