Portland, Ore. – May 16th, 2008 – Why would Portland's most talented and creative painters, writers, sculptors and musicians go to a cracker box garage in the Foster neighborhood, knowing that they are expressly forbidden from actually selling anything?
Because Friday is the 6th D'Merde Salon.
A beautiful assassin serving absinthe, readings from legendary socialite and writer Viva Las Vegas, art from the inimitable Miss Mona Superhero, and live mural painting by Mayorga and Holdt will be among the 20 plus presenters on May 16th between 7:00p.m.-11:30pm. The events are strictly capitalism free, and there are no sales, only donations.
The previous salon in April boasted 8 publishing company reps, 9 film company reps, 8 illustrators, 23 writers, 34 artists, 19 musicians, 10 designers, and a film crew.
Reps have been actively recruiting Portland's most creative minds in what is quickly becoming a low pressure treasure trove of top notch material. The synergy created by absinthe, fire and these wild and high spirited parties have spawned multimedia projects, new events, and most importantly, have made the exchange of ideas exciting again.

Hi there,
Friend of one of your MySpace friends turned me on to your soiree tonight. Thought I'd pre-introduce myself: Lisa Alber, writer.
Check out my blog.

Looking forward to the salon (and the absinthe!). Cheers.
