Contest! EXTREEEEEME: Win Tickets to see the Nuclear Cowboyz!
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 11:42 AM
Our editorial meeting started out this morning with one question: HOW DID WE BUNGLE THIS "NUCLEAR COWBOYZ" THING? As clearly stated yesterday, the Nuclear Cowboyz motocross theatrical production is the most amazing event EVER, and we (idiotically, I might add) neglected to devote an entire issue of the Mercury to it. Check out this description from the Nuclear Cowboyz press release:
Nuclear Cowboyz 2012 features the legend of two powerful motocross tribes whose survival in their futuristic world is told through an action-packed narrative of fearless freestyle aerial feats, gravity denying stunts, and outrageous pyrotechnic displays synchronized to hard rock music.
There's not enough "bolds" in the world to fill that last description!! This thing is going to be fucking AMAZING, people. (Yes, I know I'm supposed to be promoting the Mercury's Malt Ball which is going down at the exact same time... but fuck that. NUCLEAR COWBOYZ IS THE SHOW TO SEE.)
That's why I'm giving away TWO TICKETS to one lucky winner to see Nuclear Cowboyz on Saturday night, March 24 starting at 7:30 pm at the Rose Garden! EMAIL ME HERE, put "EXTREEEEEME!" in the subject header, and provide a very brief description of how EXTREEEEME! you are (by noon tomorrow, that's Friday), and the best response will EXTREEEEMELY! win those tix!
Need further convincing that Nuclear Cowboyz is the greatest show ever to be produced on planet Earth? CHECK IT and DEAL WITH IT!

Contest! / Recipes / Food Free "Valuable Thing" Contest: Win a Frying Pan!
Posted by Chris Onstad on Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 10:59 AM
The Bialetti cookware company sent me two 12” nanoceramic nonstick frying pans. One was for me to futz around with at home, and the other was to be given away to readers. This sexy pan is a $40 value, and yours for the taking if you meet my Frugal Reader Cooking Challenge, as outlined below.
- Chris Onstad
- The Bialetti Aeternum Could Be Yours.
CONTEST: You can’t swing a dead cat in this town without doing so relatively near a Plaid Pantry (try it sometime). “The Plaid” is inexpensive, ubiquitous, always open, and stocked with a fairly consistent set of goods. Think up a complete sweet or savory dish using only edibles from this store, mail your idea (and perhaps photos of your experiments, if you actually test it?) to chris@portlandmercury.com, and we’ll test out the best-sounding ones. The winner will be announced here in one week, and then told to come pick up their fancy new pan.
The pan will just be in an area; there will be no ceremony.
