On tonight's Out Loud, Carla talks with Clay Neal from the City of Portland. We discuss the Portland Plan and invite the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning community to give their input to the Portland Plan on Monday April 12 at 6:30 pm at the QCenter.

Music break by local lesbian musician Heather Perkins.

On tonight's Out Loud, we hear from Heather Perkins about Electrogals, the all women and all electronic event happening June 27th at 8pm at Disjecta, located at 8371 N. Interstate Ave in Portland.  The concert will showcase female electronic music performers from Portland and the West Coast, featuring synthesists, sonic explorers, deep listeners, circuit benders, and beat manglers. The performances will cover a wide range of styles, from beat-heavy song forms to abstract noise-generated soundscapes.

Tonight's show features live music from Play/Start. At the start of the show, they play Leave It.

Next Carla welcomes Janette and Holli, from the Urban Farm Collective. Their updates include how to get involved in their gardens, an invite to their weekly barter market, and some encouragement to grow your own food.

Play/Start played Righteous Way.

Jacob Anderson-Minshall spoke with Jen Coleman, Outreach Director for the Portland-based Oregon Environmental Council. They talked about OEC's new publication, Eco-Healthy Homes, how Jen's environmental work is influenced by gender, and whether lesbians are naturally green.
