Monday’s edition of The Oregonian has a column in its How We Live section written by the feckless Art Scatter correspondent who addresses you now. Which would be me. It’s highly entertaining! And it’s available as part of a blog, called Portland Arts Watch, that I’ve started on OregonLive. Also posted there: an encounter with Mead Hunter and Patrick Wohlmut that I had last Monday when Patrick’s play Continuum received a reading at Portland Center Stage.

My hope is that you’ll include Portland Arts Watch in your regular surfing sprees. I’ll be doing a lot of basic arts reporting over there, and save my more speculative (and off-topic, off-color or just plain off) posts for home base here at Art Scatter. At least that’s the plan for the present. Don’t worry, it won’t be all archaeology all the time… promise. Commenting on OregonLive can be a bit of a pain at times, but it’s far easier than it used to be, and I’m hoping some of you make the jump and start up some good conversation over there.
