Dear Loyal Readers,

You may have noticed wweek.com has been a little (OK, a lot) sluggish the last week or so. We've sent a batch of interns to the basement to help shovel coal and speed things up a bit. As of now, things are running smoothly. If you notice a hiccup or two over the next few days, most likely we've given one of them a 10-minute smoke break.

Please don't break up with us over this disruption in service. We're still writing some bitchin' stuff: Porn! Tacos! Scandal! F Bombs! And we are working out the kinks to make wweek.com a better place to find all your information for news, politics, music, movies, restaurants, reviews, events, and everything else in Portland.
