WEDNESDAY 6/18 Rocking with William Shatner & Neil deGrasse Tyson (SCIENCE) Beam us up, Scotty. Actor William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk in the Star Trek franchise for over 25 years, and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson are sitting down for a cosmically candid convo, spilling stories "from Earth, space, and their recent Antarctic journey." I had no idea these two were buddies, but it honestly tracks. And, their matching jackets are pretty sweet.

Hi, everybody! I’m Lindsay Costello, and I’m excited to introduce myself as the Portland Mercury’s new staff writer. I love covering all things arts-related for the Merc, and couldn't be happier to take on this role. I moved to Portland from central Florida in 2014 and attended the Oregon College of Art and Craft, where I studied textiles, book arts, and took an arts writing course that got my career rolling.

WEDNESDAY 6/11 Finn Wolfhard: The Objection! Tour (MUSIC) The kids of Stranger Things are a talented bunch: Millie Bobby Brown has her own fashion and beauty lines, Gaten Matarazzo stars in Broadway musicals, and Joe Keery sells out venues with his synthpop project Djo (ok, he's 10 years older than the rest of them). Vancouver, BC-born Finn Wolfhard (who plays Mike Wheeler) also makes music, but it's more of the fuzzy-indie rock variety.
