Shameless Self Promotion

There was a lot of me to be found this week in the local media, which is fine by me since, as my good friend, Matt, puts it, I have a gigantic ego.

First, I was interviewed for the Flying V and the Lost Secretarial Arts website. I had the opportunity to discuss topics such as my involvement with Northwest Noise and my rabbit, Petey. Here is just a taste from the interview:

So JP, I hear you have a super cute bunny named Petey. Would you care to tell me more about your precious little guy and how he came to love the ladies so much?

You heard correctly, my bunny is super cute. Petey is definitely his father's son: he has big ears, no chin, is kind of hairy, and he loves beautiful women. Of course, he has a much easier time getting them to rub his belly. He certainly has good taste in ladies; he adores my friend, Clarissa, and is a big fan of singer/songwriter Jasmine Ash. I feel very blessed to have the little guy in my life, though I had to promise him that I would cease to eat rabbit meat. He really hates when I joke about throwing him in a crock pot, which I tease him about often. That little guy always puts a smile on my face.

If you want to read more (and I know that you do) , you can check the rest of the interview here.


I was also interviewed for a segment featuring my good friend, singer/songwriter Debra Arlyn, for the show PDXposed, filmed at the Bite of Oregon over the summer. PDXposed is a local arts, travel and entertainment TV show, featuring the Portland metropolitan area and beyond and was recently nominated for two Northwest Regional Emmy Awards by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

You can catch the show on KGW Newschannel 8 (local NBC affiliate) on Sat. Oct. 4 at 7PM and again Sun. Oct. 5 at 9:30PM. You can also watch at their website here and as soon as the clip is online, I will post it on here.

Finally, I was invited to participate in the filming of a Live From PDX DVD tonight featuring my friends, Tea For Julie. TFJ put on a great set last night for the Oh Darling CD Release show (the Darlings were, needless to say, amazing as well). If you are interested in joining me this evening, please send me a message so I can get you all the details.

Have a great rest of the weekend, everyone, and Go Ducks!
