EDEN DAWN is the former award-winning style editor for Portland
Monthly. She's a beloved personality in the community, often seen
judging drag queen pageants, emceeing fundraising galas, performing
at storytelling events, and hosting Fashion in Film at the historic
Hollywood Theater. ASHOD SIMONIAN is a creative director and
designer known for advertising campaigns and packaging projects for
Focus Features, Columbia Sportswear, and Peet's Coffee, among
others. He is the co-owner of Imaginary Authors, and author of Real
Fun, a book of photography and stories documenting his decade spent
touring the world in a variety of indie rock bands.
Together, Eden and Ashod run the activism-based nail polish company
Claws Out. The Seattle Book of Dates-just like their previous
best-seller, The Portland Book of Dates-is a natural extension of
their adventurous, overextended lifestyle. They wrote this book
from their slightly creaky 100-year-old Portland home.

Praise for The Portland Book of Dates, A Pacific Northwest
Booksellers Association Bestseller
"We definitely recommend buying the book for yourself—there are so
many more places to explore than we could possibly fit here, and
the illustrations are gorgeous."
—Portland Mercury
"This book is adorable. It is so cool. It's hip, it's trendy, and
what I love about it is it's not your average guidebook. The
illustrations and the maps . . . make it so entertaining to
read."
—X-Ray FM
"It may take on greater importance as a historical text, the same
way Chuck Palahniuk's city guide Fugitives & Refugees did in 2003—a
snapshot of Portland as it was just before it changed forever,
again."
—Willamette Week
