This may be the coolest new addition to our household: A cross-stitch of a quote from Tina Belcher from Bob’s Burgers. Props to Beka Bryer, a colleague of Megan’s for making us such a thoughtful gift.

Here is an advertisement for Day’s Jewelers and Appliance store from the late 1960s. Days is still running in Portland today, though they only sell jewelry now. Back then a color TV was $379.95 while a diamond ring was $150.00

Holy wow. It was an exhausting week filled to the brim with great new plays. Standouts include Dolphinephilia, a trippy farce based on the true story of Margaret Howe Lovatt.

In sorting through some old files I found one of the first posters I designed after graduating college. It was a much different time for Megan and I.
