Nearly every little girl dreams of being a Disney Princess.  For some girls it was Snow White, while for others it was Cinderella.  For me, I wanted to be Ariel so badly.  Maybe it was a product of growing up in Florida, 5 minutes from the beach, that made me dream of being a mermaid - and one with red hair that could sing?!  Amazing.  Either way, as a kid, I personally went through three (yes 3!!) VHS tapes of "The Little Mermaid" because I watched the movie so many times.  I can still...

This week at the Rose Quarter we had the last home preseason game for the Trail Blazers (Tuesday, 10.20.09, 7pm at the Rose Garden) and Disney on Ice presents Worlds of Fantasy (Thursday - Sunday, 10.22-25.09, times vary, at the Rose Garden).    

So, from previous posts, we can deduce that I work here at the Rose Quarter.  It's myself and my co-worker that work closely together; we make videos, post blogs, create contests and promotions, as well as keep you guys updated on what's going on at the Rose Quarter.  We do other things too, of course, but this is a huge portion of our job. Yesterday, I was working with some TV crews who were getting footage of FrightTown for their Friday evening newscasts.  In the afternoon, I watched...

Part of the band’s appeal is that all of the members look like they...

This week at the Rose Quarter we have Slipknot ft Deftones (Tuesday, 10.13.09, 8pm at the Memorial Coliseum) and STAR WARS: In Concert (Wednesday, 10.14.09, doors open at 6pm at the Rose Garden). Now, I must confess, I've never seen a single Star Wars movie in my life -  I could pick Chewbacca out of a crowd though.  With this in mind, I can now also confess that I am super excited about STAR WARS: In Concert.  After watching other YouTube videos about it (see the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AL8MDmQitU)...

Don't forget to grab your tickets for The Killers for this Thursday at the Memorial Coliseum.
