Viva Las Vegas is a Portland, Oregon, based writer and performer who is currently drinking whiskey and listening to the Rolling Stones and thinks you should be, too. While you’re here, you might as well check out her writing in the ARCHIVES, her band’s ROCK’N’ROLL, the FLICKS she’s appeared in, and buy her fabulous memoir MAGIC GARDENS. There’s lots of nudie pics here, too, and if you’re not 18 or don’t like art, you should come back when you are/do. If you’d rather see Viva bare it all in person, check UPCOMING EVENTS. If you’d like to know the minutiae of her daily life, the BLOG might interest you. Come back again soon, y’all!
Hi Viva, I’m the fellow writer who met you a few years back one afternoon at French Cafe in NYC and we chatted a while. I am in Portland for about 24 hours, arriving Wed mid-day. Would love to meet for coffee, drink etc if you are around. Cheers, CM

Here is the boy with the adorable lisp you loved and who bought your book at the East End. It was good. I enjoyed it, because it took me back to a period in Portland that I always heard about but never got to live through. I usually hate memoirs(sp?) just because I don’t approve of self addvertisment, but your book was very entertaining. Bravo!
would love to hear you read. am starting Gray Skies Reading Series in Olympia, WA – interested in spreading, no pun intended, your words in our small port town?
oh yes, you have my undevided attention ! Look forward to 2 days of getting to know you x x mdc

I enjoyed your reading tonight!
I loved that this wasn’t a memoir of victimhood – not from what you read, anyways.

Hey, maybe Coca Cobra and the Killers could provide the sound for a post punk version filmed at Dante’s?
