Max Stinson was among some of the artists at MilePost 5 to have his work chosen to hang in Mayor Sam Adams's office in Portland, Ore. The three pieces hanging can be seen in his Portland Accord Gallery. They are titled: "Just Get Us There," "Mama Zuma's Revenge," and "Red Shards." His work is proudly hanging in the employee break room, between the OSHA posters and the angry post-it notes about eating fellow employees' food from the fridge when it is clearly labeled. We say well done, good man! And hands off my spaghetti!

Jessica Anthony is a hell of a writer and a lunatic and the Portland Accord would like to express their love for her by declaring an immediate and instantaneous moratorium on all activities which do not involve chaotic drinking, notwithstanding mandatory socio-biological requirements pursuant to the perpetuation of life systems (i.e. energy-production) and legalistic jargon. Jess is single-handedly causing global climate change by being so hot... and yet so cool. Her novel The Convalescent appears in June. Buy it. It will surpass even the grilled cheese + tomato sandwiches at the Tastee 29, and that is the highest form of praise.
