From left to right, Ryan Stively, Van Pierszalowski and Cambria Goodwin.
Port O’ Brien came to Portland in February and were kind enough to stop by and share some of their dreams with Mim & Honey. What a sweet bunch of folks they are and funny too – it was an instant bro-down and a fun day! Port O’ Brien is currently touring the states and beyond on their new album Threadbare, check their website for tour dates and shows near you & check out the awesome video for their song “My Will is Good”…it is one catchy song and the video has some sweet double dutch action. Now onto the dreams! We’ll kick it off with Van’s dream which involves the Apocalypse, the Cookie Crock Market and a house full of scary enzymes.. then Cambria’s dream featuring angry domestic plants & animals and a group hug with a Kodiak bear! Finally we have Ryan’s dream..and folks, it is damn funny. Ryan was super non-chalant about his dream and even threw out a disclaimer “My dream isn’t very specific..it doesn’t make sense”..and then he went on to totally kill it! In his dream President Nixon breaks up a schoolyard fight, the band plays the Noise Pop Festival in Poland and there is a boarder crossing iguana- plus a tiny dirty bit…wooohoo! You will hear all our laughter if you can hear past your own.

After a long week and the loss of our sweet Olivia we needed some peace and restoration so we drove out to the central coast of Oregon and rented a little place right on the beach. We hiked around and checked out tide pools, went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium and tucked into an early eve to cook dinner, drink wine and have a Scrabble showdown with the waves crashing just outside. Eric cleaned up with a 128 point word! The man rules at Scrabble. Sometimes it’s good to get away if only for a day or two. It can bring perspective and renew the spirit.
Thundereggs are Oregon’s State Rock.

My little soul mate Olivia passed away on Saturday morning. She was by my side for 18 years and by Eric’s side for six. She was truly a wise and loving soul who’s energy in our lives will never be replaced. Olivia, our little Booba, we will always miss you.

Tim Rutili of Califone and I sat down recently and talked about dreams. He has a lot of strange ones, as I suspected he would..but recently he has been having a series of dreams where he inhabits a group consciousness which is fascinating stuff. Besides creating incredibly compelling music, Tim has written and directed his first movie, All My Friends Are Funereal Singers starring the band members of Califone, Angela Bettis and their longtime friend and Chicago local Reid Coker. All My Friends Are Funeral Singers recently screened at the Sundance Film Festival to great reviews and the movie is described on it’s official site as such, “Zel is a fortune teller and shares her home with a group of ghosts who help her remove clients’ aches and pains, advise gamblers, and channel cranky spirits to check on their loved ones. When a mysterious light appears in the woods and the ghosts realize that they are trapped, Zel is forced to come to terms with the origins of these spirits and let go of the only family she has ever known.” After seeing the beautiful trailer, I am eagerly anticipating seeing the film in its entirety. It is gorgeous to look at..beautifully shot and accompanied by a Califone soundtrack, which for me equals awesome perfection. Tim creates dreamlike music and film – so I wondered what might dwell in his real life subconscious. Of course, it turns out to be just as strange and compelling as I had hoped.

A trip through House is a visual treat..
and a walk home along the rainy streets refreshes me.
I count the Monkey Puzzle Trees
and think about those beautiful books.

Every once in a while I like to put up one of my “classics”. I’ve always really liked this photo. Here we have my little niece on the first day of her first dance class. That little room was a whole unknown world to her and she was so nervous! For me, the wrinkly little tights just seal the deal.

The incomparable Joan Hiller Depper, owner of Riot Act Media and one hell of a girl, shares her dreams. For those of you who know Joan you’ll understand why I simply let the tape roll and let her do her thing! Welcome to a land of translucent pincherless crabs emerging from “Oprah Mud”, spaceship semi trucks and more. So without further ado, welcome to Joan’s subconscious.
Listen to Joan:
I think my favorite dream is the Oprah dream! What’s yours?
