"At the time of this column's filing, I am 12 weeks postpartum, potty training a three year old, and exclusively breastfeeding a three month old. As someone who's already overwhelmed with the happenings of my inner world-while also being aware of the atrocities, injustices, genocides, wars, fascism, and disenfranchisement happening globally-I don't have much of an appetite for music "news" these days. Just give me the good stuff, slam it straight into my veins."
"Lollipop Shoppe owner Elizabeth Elder recently put out a call for financial help on social media, explaining that the venue is on the verge of having to close its doors due to financial reasons, appealing to Portland's dense music communities for support. In both an Instagram post and on Lollipop's GoFundMe page, Elder urges the venue's fans, and members of the music community to pay them a visit soon,"
I am 12 weeks postpartum, potty training a three year old, and exclusively breastfeeding a three month old while feeling overwhelmed by global atrocities, injustices, genocides, wars, fascism, and disenfranchisement. The priority for September is choosing quality over quantity to maximize joy and process the emotional shift of a three year old starting preschool. Three local music developments may provide catharsis, including the hip-hop showcase The Thesis featuring Majik9, Wavy Josef, [E]mpress, Dissimilar, and DJ Verbz. Lollipop Shoppe owner Elizabeth Elder appealed for financial help as the venue faces closure, urging visits or donations via GoFundMe or Venmo. Lollipop Shoppe remains a longstanding Portland music gathering place since Dig A Pony opened in 2011.
