All's busy today getting ready for Pulse, tomorrow evening's unique art auction and party to benefit the Oregon Chapter of the Children's Heart Foundation. My spouse is involved on the food end of things, and I can tell you that wonderful donated goodies are coming in from all over, including Fife, Grolla, Gravy, Higgins, Il Piatto, 3 Doors Down, Finouile, Farm, JaCiva's Chocolates, Nuestra Cocina, Portland Brewing, and Cha Cha Cha. An ocean of good wine has been donated by Ponzi Vineyards, DePonte Vineyards, Columbia Distributors, and Everyday Wine.

The event will take place at Staver Locomotive, an industrial building over back behind Montgomery Park near Portland Brewing. The festivities start at 5 or 7, depending which level of ticket you buy. There's still time to buy tickets; go here. Please do. I hope to see you there.

Thirty-five artists. Eight hours. One cause.
