Exo (Korean: 엑소; stylized as EXO) is a South Korean-Chinese boy group based in Seoul. Formed by S.M. Entertainment in 2011, the group debuted in 2012 with twelve members separated into two subgroups, Exo-K and Exo-M, performing music in Korean and Mandarin respectively. Exo's first album XOXO (2013), which contained the breakthrough hit "Growl", was a critical and commercial success, winning both Disk Daesang at the 28th Golden Disk Awards and Album of the Year at the 15th Mnet Asian Music Awards. It sold over one million copies, making Exo the best-selling Korean artist in twelve years.[1] Subsequent albums and EPs continued with strong sales, and Exo were ranked the most influential celebrity by Forbes Korea for the year 2014[2] and 2015.[3]
In May 2014, Kris filed a lawsuit against S.M. Entertainment to be removed from the group.[4] Luhan followed suit in October 2014.[5] In April 2015, Tao suspended his activities and subsequently followed suit in August 2015.[6] Following their departures, Exo carried on with nine members. In July 2016, it was announced that the lawsuit between Luhan, Kris, and SM Entertainment had been settled: the two idols will maintain their contract with SM until 2022, SM Entertainment will contract out their work outside of Korea and Japan—i.e. to their current Chinese agencies—and they will "share related revenues with SM Entertainment."[7][8]

2011: Formation
In May 2011, at a Hallyu business seminar held at Stanford University, Lee Soo-man spoke about a strategy of debuting a new boyband, in which they would be divided into 2 subgroups, promoting the same music simultaneously in South Korea and China by performing songs in both Korean and Mandarin.[9] After several changes,[10] in December 2011, the group finalized their name to Exo, taken from the word exoplanet. They are divided into two subgroups, Exo-K ('K' for Korean) for South Korea and Exo-M ('M' for Mandarin) for China. They debuted their first televised performance at SBS's annual Gayo Daejun event on December 29, 2011.[11]
2012: Debut and Mama
Exo-K and Exo-M's prologue single "What Is Love" was released on January 30, 2012, in mainland China and South Korea.[12] The single peaked at number 88 on South Korea's Gaon Single Chart. On March 9, the group released their second prologue single "History",[13] which was written and produced by Thomas Troelsen and Remee. The single peaked at number 68 on the Gaon Single Chart and number six on China's Sina Music Chart.[14]
A concert for the group was held in Seoul's Olympic Stadium on March 31.[15] Approximately 3,000 fans from 8,000 applicants were selected to attend.[16] A second concert was held in the Great Hall of the Beijing University of International Business and Economics on April 1.[17]
Exo-K and Exo-M released their debut single, "Mama", on April 8[18] followed by an EP Mama, on April 9. The two sub-groups would be promoting the album separately in two countries. On April 8, Exo-K performed on South Korea's music program The Music Trend, while Exo-M made their debut in China's Top Chinese Music Awards on the same day.[19] The mandarin version of Mama reached number two on China's Sina Album Chart, while the Korean album peaked at number one on the Gaon Album Chart[20] and number eight on the Billboard World Albums Chart.[21] The mandarin version of "Mama" music video reached number one on Chinese streaming websites, while the Korean version reached number seven on YouTube's Global Chart.[22] In late April, Exo-M performed as a guest act for Super Junior's Super Show 4 concert tour in Jakarta, Indonesia.
In November, Exo won Best New Asian Artist Group at the 2012 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Exo-K received three nominations at the 27th Golden Disk Awards, winning the Newcomer Award. Exo-M received the Most Popular Group Award at the 2013 Top Chinese Music Awards.[citation needed]
2013: XOXO, commercial success, and Miracles in December
The group's first studio album, XOXO was released on June 2013 with two versions, a Korean-language "Kiss" edition and a Mandarin-language "Hug" edition. Unlike Mama era when Exo-K and Exo-M had separate promotions, XOXO was jointly promoted; mainly in South Korea. Exo recorded together for the album's lead single, "Wolf", but the rest of the album tracks were recorded separately. The two versions collectively peaked at number one on the Billboard World Album Chart a week after release.
A repackaged version of XOXO, titled Growl, was released on August 5, 2013 with three additional tracks. The reissue's lead single, "Growl", was released on August 1, 2013. "Growl" achieved 10,554 points on The Music Trend charts, setting a new number one record on the show.[23] "Growl" reached number one on all four of Korea's major music programs, winning a total of ten trophies in three consecutive weeks. The single peaked at number three on Billboard's Korea K-Pop Hot 100[24] and number two on the Gaon's Singles chart. As of December 2013, all versions of XOXO have collectively sold over 1,000,000 copies,[25] making Exo the first Korean artist to sell over a million copies of one album in twelve years and breaking the record for being the fastest-selling K-pop act. XOXO was named Album of the Year at the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards, making Exo the youngest ever boy band to win the award. XOXO is the best selling album in South Korea of 2013, winning the Disk Daesang Award at various award ceremonies like the Golden Disk Awards and Seoul Music Awards.[26]
Exo's second EP Miracles in December was officially released December 9, 2013 as a special winter album through South Korean commercial outlets and online music stores.[27] Exo jump-started album promotions through their reality show Exo's Showtime, which premiered on November 28, 2013 on the cable channel MBC Every 1.[28] Baekhyun, Chen, and D.O. performed the EP's lead single, "Miracles in December", at M! Countdown on December 5. Luhan also joined the trio on stage for the lead single's promotions on other music broadcast programs.
Exo ended 2013 with six albums in the Gaon's Yearly Top 10 Best-Selling Albums, including all their 2013 album releases in both the Korean and Chinese version as well as their debut EP Mama.[26]
2014: Overdose, Kris' and Luhan's lawsuits, and first solo concert
Exo's third EP, Overdose, was released on May 7, 2014.[29] Originally scheduled to be released on April 21, the album was delayed due to the Sewol Ferry Accident on April 16. Overdose was promoted similarly to Mama, with Exo-M promoting primarily in China and Exo-K in South Korea. The album reached 660,000+ preorders before its release, making it the most pre-ordered mini-album in history.[30] The Korean edition also peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's World Albums Chart, and No. 129 on the "Billboard 200", making Exo the highest charting Korean male group act on the Billboard 200.[31][32] Overdose became the best selling album in South Korea of 2014 and was the first mini album to top the yearly charts and win the Album of the Year Award at Mnet Asian Music Awards.[33] By the end of the calendar year, Exo was Japan's biggest-selling K-pop artist of the year.[34]
On May 15, 2014, S.M. Entertainment confirmed that Exo-M's leader, Kris, had filed a lawsuit against the agency to terminate his contract, stating violation of human rights as the main reason.[35] On October 10, Exo-M's Luhan also filed a lawsuit against S.M. Entertainment to nullify his contract, because of health issues and being treated differently than the Korean members, therefore having no promotions.[36][37]
S.M Entertainment announced that Exo would continue to promote with 10 members. The group held their first solo concert "Exo from Exoplanet #1 - The Lost Planet" starting May 24 at the Seoul Olympic Gymnasium.[38] Tickets for the concert sold out in 1.47 seconds, breaking the record for the fastest sold out concert by a Korean artist.[38]
2015: Exodus, Tao's lawsuit, Japanese debut, collaboration with Star Wars, and Sing For You
Exo's second solo concert was announced in January 2015 entitled Exo Planet #2 - The Exo'luxion. Five concerts were held in Seoul at the Olympic Park Stadium starting March 7. 1.2 million fans had attempted to buy tickets online.[39] On February 4, 2015, S.M Entertainment filed a counter-suit against Kris and Luhan for illegally continuing their promotions in China. The lawsuit was to stop their acting and advertisement under the use of the S.M trademark.[40]
Exo's second studio album, Exodus, was released on March 30, 2015 in both Korean and Mandarin versions.[41] Domestic pre-sales for the album surpassed 500,000 within 24 hours, setting a new record for pre-sales.[42] The title track "Call Me Baby" was released early on March 27, due to leaked versions of the song.[43] The music videos were released 4 days later, with the Korean version later becoming the most wached K-pop music video in the first half of 2015.[44] Exo also starred in their own mini drama series titled Exo Next Door, which became the most watched Korean web drama in 2015 until later being surpassed by member Xiumin's web drama, Falling for Challenge.[45] "Call Me Baby" proved to be successful winning eighteen times on music shows, making it the second most awarded song of all times. The album's Korean version also broke records after staying at number one on the album chart for four consecutive weeks.[46] Exodus eventually went on to sell over a million copies, and is the group's second album after XOXO to do so. It was named Album of the Year at the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards, making this the third consecutive win in this category for the group since 2013. In May, Exo broke the record on U.S. Billboard 200 as the highest ranking Korean artist, topping at 90th place.[47][better source needed] Exo also entered the Canadian Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 98, making them the first K-pop group and second Korean artist to enter the Canadian chart.[48][better source needed]
On April 22, member Tao's father posted a letter through Weibo expressing his sentiments for his son to withdraw from the group and return to China; due to lack of support concerning individual career developments and health issues.[49] Tao had previously sustained several injuries which had not been properly treated that worsened[49] and caused him to be absent during promotions for the group's second studio album Exodus.[50] On April 23, S.M. Entertainment released an official statement saying that they would be "seeking a solution in a developmental direction" by negotiating with Tao and his father.[51] Tao later confirmed that he had left SM Entertainment and after failed negotiations, Tao filed an official lawsuit against SM Entertainment on August 24 for the termination of his exclusive contract.[51][52][53]

They would also be performing in the Tokyo Dome for three consecutive days as part of the "Exo'luxion" tour. Exo performed for 145,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome from November 6–8, breaking the record for the shortest amount of time since debut to hold a concert at this venue.[55][56] On November 4, Exo released their debut Japanese single Love Me Right ~romantic universe~, which contains the Japanese version of their Korean title track "Love Me Right" as well as an original Japanese song "Drop That".

Reality TV Shows
Legal issues
On May 15, 2014, S.M. Entertainment confirmed that Exo-M's leader, Kris, had filed a lawsuit against the agency to terminate his contract for violation of basic human rights by treating him like a product rather than a person, disregard for his health, unfair profit distribution and restricting his freedom.[101] The same law firm that represented Han Geng of Super Junior in his lawsuit against S.M. Entertainment also represented Kris.[102]
On October 10, 2014, Luhan filed a lawsuit against S.M. Entertainment to nullify his contract, mainly because of health issues and for being treated differently than its Korean members. The same law that represented Han Geng and Kris in their lawsuits against S.M. Entertainment also represented Luhan.[103]
On August 24, 2015, Tao filed a lawsuit against S.M. Entertainment for termination of his contract and is being represented by the same legal team as Kris and Luhan.[6] SM Entertainment responded to his legal actions by stating, "Our company plans to use everything in our power including both Korean and Chinese legal professionals and partners to respond legally both in Korea and China in a multi-faceted manner. We also plan to take legal steps to respond to Tao's illegal promotions and actions.".[104]
On the 5th of January 2016, SM entertainment won one of their counter-lawsuits against Tao following the ruling of the Intermediate People's Court in the Qingdao, Shandong, in China.The agency sued Tao over his failure to repay the company after his departure. They released an official statement saying "SM has ongoing lawsuits against Exo members Wu Yifan (Kris), Luhan, and Tao for violating their exclusive contracts and partaking in illegal promotions in China. Among these lawsuits, SM filed a lawsuit against Tao for failing to repay SM on October 13, 2015. An intermediate court in Qingdao, China made the verdict that Tao is to repay SM Entertainment as well as interest for the delayed payment."[105][106]
In July 2016, it was announced that the lawsuit between Luhan, Kris, and SM Entertainment had been settled.[8] The two sides settled during their third court-mandated arbitration, the previous two being in September 2015 and June 2016, with the court "sett[ling] the case with recommendation for reconciliation."[8][107] The two idols will maintain their contract with SM until 2022.[8] SM Entertainment will contract out their work outside of Korea and Japan i.e. Kris and Luhan's Chinese agencies will "share related revenues" with SM Entertainment for activities anywhere but Korea and Japan (where SM Entertainment has exclusive rights per their contract) because SM Entertainment is technically "contract[ing] out management" for their non-Korean/Japanese activities until 2022, when their contracts with SM Entertainment expire.[8]
Other ventures
Early February 2013, Exo began promoting a South Korean clothing brand, Kolon Sport. The band shot a commercial ad for a new pair of sneakers named after them, MOVE-XO.[108]

In 2015 Exo participated in "Smile for U", a joint SM Entertainment and UNICEF project that aids music educational charitable work for children in Asia.

Like most poker players starting out, I also dreamed of making it big in the Texas Hold'em poker tournament world and quitting my day job. However, after a sour dose of reality in the form of inconsistent results and a severely depleted bank account, I decided to sit back and re-think my approach. This book details how I devised a statistical system of bankroll management that would keep me profitable in the long run, how I went about upgrading my actual game-play skills, how I analyzed my performances at the table, and finally, how I adopted a psychological system of thinking about this little career of mine from my day trading experience... all without having to quit my day job!
The book is divided into four parts. Each part deals with a specific phase of my journey:
* PART 1 - MENTALITY AND OBJECTIVES, deals with my beginnings. Most novice, intermediate, and even some advanced poker players might find a lot of parallels with my journey.
* PART 2 - THE PLAN: [Contains the framework for a statistical approach to bankroll management in tournament play, online or at live tables]
I drew on my derivatives trading experience to draw up a logical statistical model as to how I would approach the game in the long term.
* PART 3 - EXECUTION AND GAME-PLAY: [Contains actual sit-n-go tournament performance data as per the theory laid out in Part 2]
My assumptions were clear and my expectations realistic. After a while I realized that my actual decision-making at the table needed to improve. This required poker theory education from external sources and assigning some structure to my thought process at the table - topics which I have not covered in great detail because it would be overkill, as there is so much related information out there in the poker print-media. I have referenced some great sources of information as relates to each category, however. Once I began to see some profits over a string of games there was no looking back, but the journey was still very rocky.
* PART 4 - PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND MENTAL ASSESSMENT: [Contains an adapted model of psychological assessment of a typical poker career.]
Finally, I realized that a key part of improving my game-play and identifying my strengths and weaknesses was going to come from tracking how I played. I began tracking various types of data during and after a game. After a while, I adopted and modified a psychological system of assessing where I was in the poker career from my derivatives trading regimen.
It is my hope that this book will be able to help the budding poker tournament/sit-n-go enthusiast by serving as a guide to effective bankroll management and a disciplined approach to long term tournament play, be it a part-time or full-time pursuit.
This book is NOT for people who are looking for a "get rich quick scheme" or some sort of a "killer strategy" that will guarantee a win in every tournament. For more details, refer to the "Preface" by downloading a free sample first.

Good, but... I have used this app for years, on multiple different devices, including: Droid X, HTC Rezound, Moto X (2013), and Droid Turbo 2. The app has been a lifesaver as an avid mountain biker, especially using Acuterra Topo maps. Now for the bad...This app requires downloading hundreds of thousands of tiles for offline availablility. This causes storage to lock up frequently, creating a serious battery drain. If you plan on cleaning saved tiles, expect to wait 24-48 hours...Phone, or USB 3 card reader.
Useful but ugly Please make UI design handy. At least fonts under Android M. Thanks.

In recent weeks, many Democrats seem to be finding their voice when it comes to the Iraq War. Republicans have reacted by slandering people like Vietnam war hero Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA) as a "coward" after he courageously said its time for a serious exit strategy and withdrawal. In resorting to this kind of McCarthyism, Republicans are digging themselves deeper and deeper into a hole that they will never be able to get out of.
Sadly, however, there are still some Democrats who, in their own self-absorbed states, seem willing to help the GOP's attacks in different ways. One is Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), who chimed in after the GOP attacks on Murtha by publicly reiterating that Democrats have no position on Iraq, and won't have one until he deems it politically opportune - a move that unnecessarily reinforces the idea that some Democrats are still governed more by tactics than conviction, even on issues of war and peace.
Now, after finishing reading In These Times new cover story, I see that another Democrat is making a new kind of destructive, pathetic, and deliberately dishonest claim. As the magazine reports, Ohio U.S. Senate candidate Paul Hackett (D) is attacking his Democratic primary opponent Rep. Sherrod Brown (D) for supposedly supporting the 2003 decision to invade Iraq. How could that be, you ask? Didn't Brown vote against the war, aggressively organize opposition to the war after the invasion, challenge Secretary of State Colin Powell to provide answers about the President's lack of national security credentials, and support legislation demanding an exit strategy? Yes, he did. But according to Hackett, Brown supported the war. Here is his positively outrageous and slanderous claim:
"Hackett says that because Brown voted for the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, which expressed 'the sense of Congress' that the United States should 'support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq' and 'promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime,' Brown voted for the war...[Hackett said] 'Sherrod Brown voted for regime change; he voted for military intervention in Iraq.'"
The author of the article, Christopher Hayes, goes on to point out just how slanderous a statement Hackett is making. He notes that the Iraq Liberation Act "explicitly contradicts that logic" because the bill specifically said "Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize or otherwise speak to the use of United States Armed Forces" with the exception of training and weapons for Iraqi opposition groups. In other words, the bill specifically went out of its way to make clear it was not endorsing U.S. military action against Iraq or a U.S. invasion of Iraq. That's why anti-war heroes like Reps. Bernie Sanders and Dennis Kucinich voted for the legislation in the House, and why it passed with unanimous consent in the Senate, meaning people like Senators Ted Kennedy and Paul Wellstone supported it.
Yet, incredibly, Hackett's comments mean he is actually claiming that anti-war heroes like Sanders, Kucinich, Kennedy and Wellstone supported President Bush's 2003 invasion of Iraq. No matter whether you support Hackett or Brown in the primary, there is no debate that Hackett's comment is a disgusting lie that every progressive should be outraged by. How dare anyone make such a slanderous claim. How dare someone insult the intelligence of progressives by trying to pawn off such a ridiculous, patently dishonest lie for his own political purposes.
What is so troubling about Hackett's statement is the deliberate, premeditated nature of the dishonesty perpetrated against a progressive movement he claims to champion. This is not a misstatement. It is not an accident. The guy actually went out and looked for a way to attack his opponent on the Iraq War, despite his opponent's stellar record opposing the war from the beginning. And when he came up with nothing, he made a conscious decision to deliberately lie. This lie was not only patently dishonest, but destructive to his party as a whole, in that it echoed the same B.S. right-wing talking points about all Democrats always supporting invading Iraq because they said in the late 1990s they didn't like Saddam Hussein (even the very logic of this lie is ridiculous - you can clearly support regime change without supporting a military invasion - just ask any Member of Congress who wants to see various dictators like Kim Jong Il deposed through economic/diplomatic/political sanctions, but clearly aren't ready to support an invasion of countries like North Korea). And yet Hackett is peddling this lie all while trumpeting himself as a "straight-talking, straight-shooting" candidate.
But, then, that seems to be more and more the norm with Hackett - a guy who swaggers around like a straight shooter, but can't give a straight answer even on the biggest issues. Remember, Hackett has continued to change his position on the Iraq War every time it suited him politically. When he was running in a conservative congressional district, he was against withdrawal, using President Bush's language in likening withdrawal to a "cut and run" strategy. Then, when he announced he would run in a Democratic primary for Senate, he claimed he was for a timetable for withdrawal, even sending out an email through Democracy for America urging folks to sign a petition demanding a timetable. Now, though, as In These Times notes, he is calling a timetable "absolutely ludicrous." In short, the guy says different things to different people about his positions, raising very serious questions about how he would vote and what he would be like in elected office. Regardless of what he says to any given audience at any given moment, does this guy have any clear positions on any issues at all that we as progressives can rely on?
Remember - the point of noting this kind of disgusting lie is not to go after any one candidate in any one given race (there are things I actually happen to admire about Hackett). The point is much bigger - namely, to remind progressives that we should always be on the lookout for candidates who trumpet themselves as progressive champions, but who are quietly trying to have it both ways when it comes to all sorts of important issues. We've been duped before by candidates who promise to be the next great progressive leaders, only to watch them become serial capitulators and not stand up for the progressive agenda when it might be politically risky.
Ohio is just one of a number of Democratic primaries where we have an obligation to demand the candidates tell us where they actually stand on issues, and reject candidates when they regurgitate dishonest right-wing talking points, or try to fool us with insultingly dishonest tactics. These primaries, in other words, are opportunities to find out who these candidates really are, and rather than shy away from that exploration, progressives must engage in it wholeheartedly. And while it may be easy to simply focus on candidates' charisma, style, coolness and flair, ultimately we must remember that these folks are running for office - and no matter how great they look, or smoothly they talk, the only thing that ultimately matters is how they will vote.
In Ohio, there is one candidate, Hackett, who continues to flail around, unable to articulate where he actually stands on issues while lying about his opponent's very clear record. And there is Brown, who has one of the strongest progressive records in Congress. The choice for progressives in this race, then, should be clear - and we should strive to make it equally as clear in every other race across America. Democratic primaries during mid-term election cycles provide progressives a particularly powerful opportunity to hold all candidates' feet to the fire on the issues - and to reject those who are willing to sell out or lie about issues for their own personal ambition. That is the way you build a long-term ideological movement for the future.
P.S. One note - I don't work, nor have I ever worked, for either Brown or Hackett (Some - but certainly not all - of Hackett's supporters like to spread wild, hysterical lies about anyone who actually substantively questions their candidate on the issues). And whoever wins the primary will have my support against Republican Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH). That said, the reason it is important to analyze these candidates - and expose their inconsistencies - is because it is absolutely critical to expose candidates actual stands on issues before we give them our support. If we as progressives don't do that, then we truly have no real convictions undergirding our movement.

The best.

Comments about Bose® SoundLink® Bluetooth® Speaker III - Silver:
I've owned probably every packable sound system ever made and this is better hands down. Fantastic sound. Great battery life, goes anywhere. My only complaint is that you can't pair a whole bunch of these things in some great Wall of sound daisy chain, I would like some kind of connecting bridge and then I would buy a few more.

Good sound, really poor battery
By Corey
Sound is good, problem is battery goes dead in a week of non use if you don't leave it plugged in. I have li-ion batteries in drills that I can leave for months without charging. Another problem is Bluetooth needs to be re-synced almost every time. For the price I expected better. I wouldn't buy it again.

Fantastic piece of kit!
By Holmesy
I bought this after trying the new B&O A1 and A2 both of which didn't come close considering their status and higher prices. Tried the new KEF muo which gave very good high pitch quality but struggled to fill a 3x3metre room also had no bass at all. The bose will easily fill a 6x3m room with clarity and a decent kick of bass at a loud enough volume to enjoy. Bluetooth range on my samung s5 has covered up to 25m with a workshop in the way.

Beautiful sound with annoying tendencies
By nhmtnbkr
The sound of this speaker is absolutely beautiful, as tends to be the case for the Bose products I've owned over the years. Its sound is well-balanced through the ranges of tones, with crisp, clear sound and deep bass. The biggest problem I have with this unit is the Bluetooth connectivity, and the lack of an app or other interface to manage the devices. I've had significant issues with getting it to connect with either my Macbook Pro or Windows laptops, and altogether too frequently have to reset the Bluetooth devices or the entire unit. It also has an annoying tendency to connect to the wrong device, even when I have a device streaming music. If this had better management abilities of the devices connected, this would be a hands-down five star rating.
Battery Issue
By Alby
I bought this a few months back and there's an issue with the battery? Usually when I plug the charger it would make a sound and blink yellow. Now, it just makes the sound and does not give that yellow glow.
Bad battery and music keeps cutting out
By Susan
I purchased 2 of these and they both gave me the same problem. I LOVED THE SOUND, but it was very disappointing that the battery wouldn't hold a charge and the audio kept cutting in and out

Long-life Battery
By FKivan
I love, that last hours... another featurings also good, but the best is the battery life XD
Good but not great
By lambda
I've owned Generation I and II of Soundlink as well as SL Mini, and when this model came out I instantly added it to my BOSE family. Unfortunately, this turns out to be a huge disappointment. For a normal speaker I couldn't be happier about the sound---netrual, balanced with a hint of warmth towards low end, yet this is bose I'm talking about: any BOSE PRODUCT isn't supposed to sound this thin and lifeless especially when compared to SL I and II. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.

Outdoor use
By Sandman
I bought mine a year ago and use it frequently for expanded sound range for outdoor movie showings. Plugs into the projector and does a fantastic job. Deep base and clear sound. Plenty of power to listen outdoor. Absolutely love this speaker.

Many, many years ago I met the guy that turned out to be my husband. At that time I had no desire to ever be married. I had no desire to plan a wedding. Something strange happened to my very unromantic soul in dating my eventual husband. While I am still pretty sure that he is as happy as I am in the choice to marry, I am not sure he was prepared for what the planning of the wedding awakened in me… a love for weddings that would just NOT die.
I'm excited to be participating with a team of some of Portland's very best wedding vendors to create a wedding space at the upcoming The Toast Wedding Showcase hosted by Elli.
When I say the very best in Portland's wedding vendors I mean it! I've been inspired and incredibly excited by the ideas and work coming from my teammates for this event. We have a 10X10 space that we are creating with our inspiration coming from selected stationary provided by Elli.com.
I'll be creating a DIY wedding backdrop that I'll eventually share here on the blog. In addition I'll help with the styling of the space. Our rental company Something Borrowed Portland Vintage Rentals is bringing out all the stops with some really fabulous vintage rentals… including a brand new custom built item that will see its debut in this show! Lane' will also be helping us style the space. The food elements are being put together with a custom menu by local northwest-style catering company, White Pepper. I've seen the custom menu and can't wait see how it all looks! No wedding is complete without some gorgeous floral elements and our florist, Intimo: An Intimate Occasion Florist in Portland, has designed something truly spectacular. Local calligraphy artist Kelsey Malie is lending us talents to help really put the icing on this oh-so-gorgeous cake.
This event won't only be a great way to gather inspiration and DIY wedding tips, but it also be a way to connect with wedding vendors in Portland that truly care about your event and their craft. In addition to seeing all the cool curated wedding spaces designed just for this event, attendees will also get:

Disclosure: Powell & Mahoney shared a complimentary bottle of their Limited Bloody Mary mix for review purposes. All opinions are my own. Links may be affiliate links. Purchases made from affiliate links help support this blog. Thanks for reading!
Anyone else have the realization that this is the last weekend before the crazy hits? Just me? Couldn't be.
This weekend is my prep weekend to make it through the next two months. On my calendar I've got 3 parties, two photoshoots, 1 fun holiday blog series (with 12 free printables!), holiday visitors, holiday gifts to buy… well, you get the idea. Today is all about prepping the house, the blog, and my holiday gift/card lists. Bring on the bloody marys!
Sometimes I like to take the time to make my own bloody mary mix. I enjoy trying different spices and ingredients. However, I'm a big believer in making life as easy as possible while preserving the tastiness… so, when I find a good bloody mary mix I stock up to bring out as needed. This Siracha Bloody Mary Mix by Powell & Mahoney is exactly what I'd make for myself…. without all the work!
The holiays are surrounded by days where a quick bloody mary bar will be welcome to all involved. Having the family over for a day of cooking for Thanksgiving? Set up the bloody mary bar and a coffee bar for a fun way to start Thanksgiving. Lots of adults trying to stay awake on Christmas morning? Make the early morning wake up easier by setting out your favorite bloody mary mix, some Vodka and/or Tequila and some easy garnishes. DONE.
Lately I've really been digging Bloody Marias instead of my normal bloody mary. What's the difference? Tequila!
Disclaimer: I was provided with complementary tickets by Portland Center Stage so that I may experience Dreamgirls before sharing my experience with you here on the blog. All opinions are my own. Keep reading for a discount so that you can see the show as well!
A little tidbit about me that you might not of known… I've ALWAYS been interested in theater. I love watching the lights go down, hearing the hush of a crowd, and being delighted with the talents of people that have prepped and worked all towards that performance. There is just nothing like watching live theater. I've never really been someone to act in a play. I auditioned once in college… let me tell you, an Irish accent is NOT easy. Though I was never really quite right for the onstage talent, I loved participating in the creation of a show and watching how everyone worked together to change reality for the course of a show. So, when Portland Center Stage asked if I wanted to check out their production of Dreamgirls I jumped at the opportunity. I'm so glad I did!
I had never seen Dreamgirls before, either on stage or in movie form. I knew that it was a musical about a trio of women loosely based on The Supremes. But, that is about it! Now I want to see the movie and any and all productions of this show going forward. It was such a treat, and not for the reasons I originally assumed it would be! If you are in the Portland area, and like musicals, then I'd highly recommend this production! But, don't let your location stop you from reading on… you can always watch Dreamgirls the movie!
I expected to go into the show and be wow'd by some spectacular female voices. And, while I was wow'd by some pretty talented women (get to that later) I was unexpectedly blown away by some beautiful and FUN male-led songs! The beginning of the show the ladies didn't quite have their voices yet. (Little did I know, because remember I had never seen this before, that was part of the plan!) I enjoyed the first number with the women being introduced to the stage. But, when Calvin Scott Roberts playing C.C. (Claridge Conrad) White and Rodney Hicks playing Curtis Taylor, Jr. began to sing Cadillac Car with David Jennings playing Jimmy (James Thunder) Early– WOW. I loved each and every song that these three men sang together. Each had great stage presence and really sold their characters all while hitting their songs out of the theater.
In the beginning I wasn't entirely impressed with the songs that the women were singing. Little did I know… that was part of the play! As the show goes on the women really start singing. While they clearly had talent in the beginning, they just hadn't hit their groove as a group! They had me hoodwink perfectly. At the end of the first act when Nattalyee Randall playing Effie Melody White belts out "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" I had tears in my eyes. All the women brought it on stage and I wasn't disappointed by a single performance. The most exciting performance, for me, was by Mary Patton playing Deena Jones. (I don't want to give much of the story away just in case you, like me, had never seen anything about the show. I want you to be as surprised as I was!) When Deena, one of the background singers of the trio is given the opportunity to step up as a lead there is a lot to discover. Patton plays demure, quiet and sweet Deena Jones so well in the beginning and hides her powerhouse of a voice during her first song as lead so well that I honestly didn't see how this fictional group would ever be convincing as a popular musical trio. As she starts to take hold of her inner diva (just a bit) her voice suddenly takes over the entire room. It is gorgeous and powerful.
