Where My Wish List Overlaps With PICA’s

Randoseru Bag at OFFICE PDX

Tomorrow would be a very good day for you to buy me the red shiny Japanese schoolgirl bag (resized for a grownup) that I’ve always wanted. That’s because tomorrow, OFFICE PDX (2204 NE Alberta), where you’ll find this bag, is giving 20% of all proceeds on Wednesday, December 12 to the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art (PICA).

And it will all tie together into a Higher Order of Things as the desire for the bag was stoked to new heights by the Yubiwah Hotel performance at PICA’s TBA Festival a couple of years ago.

PICA > TBA > Yubiwah > bag love > OFFICE PDX purchase > PICA. See? Poetry.

OFFICE PDX is calling the 11-7 shopping event, Pencils, Portfolios, and Paper (and we’ll add “red shiny bags”) for PICA. Oh, and you have to purchase in-store, not online, for PICA to get their share.
