Upcoming Comedy Shows to Benefit Local Causes

Posted on by

MESSAGE FROM
Curious Comedy Productions

Hello Curious Comedy Community –

Curious Comedy Theater has been growing by leaps and bounds. But, today we are asking for your help to keep thriving. We need to raise $10,000 by the end of 2010 to pay for a railing the fire inspector is requiring us to install on our mezzanine and related expenses. Luckily, the finished railing will also serve as the first step in completing and opening our mezzanine balcony. Please give what you can. Every donation large or small makes a huge difference. You can make your donation on line here at the longest link ever: https://robot.boxofficetickets.com/800-494-TIXS/WebObjects/BOTx2005.woa/wa/inspectSubprogram?id=881935&passKey=c154bd10a7
But we don’t just want to ask for things – so we are also giving back this season through our many partnerships. All shows are at 8pm, doors at 7:15pm. See www.curiouscomedy.org for more details:

Report Issues via iPhone, Android Phones

Posted on by

The City of Portland is pleased to announce the release of PDX Reporter, an application (app) for Android based smart phones. Now residents who use Android phones can report and request service calls to City assets and publicly maintained infrastructure. The decision to create an open sourced Android app follows the successful release of a similar iPhone app in February 2010, and is aimed at increasing transparency through open data and improving communications with Portland residents.

“This is a way to instantly connect with your City. If you see a problem in your neighborhood, you don’t have to wait to report it. You can make a report instantly. I encourage Portlanders to download the PDX Reporter app and send us information on the issues you see around your community,” says Mayor Sam Adams.
