Sorry, King Magat, we're most out here eating açai bowls, doing park yoga, reading books, and riding our bikes/unicycles.

Picture of the Unipiper, a Portland-based performance artist whose work regularly combines unicycling with playing the (flaming) bagpipes and wearing a Darth Vader helmet. A Portland staple.

Picture of the Unipiper riding across a parking lot with the sign Keep Portland Weird in the background. His bagpipes are shooting flames.

Houseplant love. Soil refresh, leaf wipe and polish (!), gnat traps, snazzy new pots, and grow lights. ☺️
