Mario Cart Bike Lane

All around our biking city today look for these Mario Cart Symbols in the bike lane.  NWT loves them, it is a good reminder that creativity isn't just in the paid gigs and the day-to-day responsibilities - but can be found many other places.  Though illegal these definitely show pride in our biking culture and brings a smile to our faces.  Bikes, good-natured vandalism and Mario Cart - we love them all.

Check out BikePortland.org for the full article.

We're pretty busy.

Today NW Transplant turned in two proposals for the Women in Film Faerie Godmother Grant (We are 50% female owned). One is a documentary about Sasquatch, or “Sassy,” as he likes to be called, showing how the presence and search for our loveable Wookie-esque neighbor impacts the Pacific Northwest. We also are gearing up and looking for funding for a children’s web series about the Universe, “News of the Universe.” “Cause we love science, space, educating kids, and having a million projects on our plate. Wish us luck!

Tall Beers and Short Shorts!

Did we mention our Music Video for Pink Martini, check it out here, is going to be playing at the Tall Beers and Short Shorts Film Fest in Seattle at Re-Bar on July 29th?  If you are around, stop in and grab a beer while watching a selection of short films.  The goal of the Fest is to find new audiences for short films and bring short films out of the art house theater.  So if you love shorts, want to see our kick-ass video in a short-film setting, or just want to see something new – drop in.

Embrace the Change


The most beautiful thing I have ever seen?
Portland has always led the nation on environmental policy. Now we are planning a way to ween Portlanders off plastic bags.  Fred Meyer has decided before Portland bans the bags, the chain store is opting out of using plastic bags at all of their stores in Portland.  NW Transplant loves it!  Rest assured, citizens of Stumptown - we never package our great videos and media campaigns in plastic bags!  Lets embrace the change, and get rid of these eyesores that use oil and create dangerous waste.

"Zombie" Car Crash in Portland

We love Portland for many reasons: the variety of restaurants, the laid-back attitude of the inhabitants, the... ZOMBIES?!

It seems a car crashed the other day on I-84 near the Lloyd exit (and close to NW Transplant HQ). The passengers inside were horribly disfigured, oozing puss, showing signs of severe trauma. In short, they were zombies.

Okay, so they were just a group of people dressed like zombies for a party (they were all treated for minor injuries and, as of yet, are not really animated corpses). But in Portland, you never can be too sure.

In the meantime, stay sharp, Portlanders. If there ever is a Zombie Apocalypse, it might go unnoticed here... at least for awhile.
