Moon­al­ice poster by David Singer

Accord­ing to Moon­al­ice leg­end, Port­land has more nick­names than any other major city. Rose City, PDX, Stump Town, P-Town, Lit­tle Beirut, Rip City, Razor­blade City, Bridgetown are excel­lent nick­names. We had a con­test to see if our fans could come up with another nick­name. They did. It was an embar­rass­ment of riches. Out of respect for the city of Port­land, we will not go further.

Accord­ing to Moon­al­ice leg­end, today is the 173rd anniver­sary of the first com­mer­cial use of the tele­graph. It took place in Eng­land. The mes­sage read, “Dude, did you take my lighter?”

Accord­ing to Moon­al­ice leg­end, on this day in 1965 Bob Dylan went electric.
