It’s called The Mush Fair and it’s a real thing happening in The Cleaners at Ace Hotel Portland this Sunday and Monday. Bring stories of your own — we welcome you as you are, on the hood of any car or in a fairy-riddled mushroom cave afar — and learn something about how mushrooms grow, function and live their little lives. Presented by Oregon Mushroom Stories and PICA, and this footnote is from Nopmire.

Andrew Dickson is an ad man who pulls creaky ropes and pushes flashing buttons at Wieden + Kennedy in Portland, Oregon. At this week’s Creative Mornings sesh in W+K’s atrium, he reminded us that “you can get away with almost anything as long as you’re not boring,” and then he talked us into this mortally binding agreement to support the arts in Oregon. We’re starting right off the bat with TBA — stay tuned for more.
