And S.W. Conser welcomes veteran film and TV director Tom Chamberlin, whose local comedic soap opera Pillars of Portland presaged Portlandia by three decades.  Tom spins stories about his early 80's adventures working with such young crew members as Gus Van Sant, Eric Edwards, and Jim Blashfield, and trekking to the Rajneeshee compound to film scenes in which both cast and crew members worked buck naked.
