  • Awkward Author with Joseph Hulscher

    Joseph Hulscher was born and raised in Aberdeen, Washington, and began journaling the legend of this story as early as 2007. KCGB -The Boy From the Porch - My Dying Mom and Kurt Cobain is his first memoir. Joseph is the 2nd of 6 children, sharing the family home with four brothers and a sister. They are a part of this story as the memoir delivers an intimate retelling of interactions the famed grunge rocker, Kurt Cobain, had with our mother and siblings during a mid-1980s turning point in Cobain's life in Aberdeen, Washington. I was given a front-row seat to understanding Aberdeen and all the characters in this story, meeting Krist Novoselic in 9th grade at Miller Junior High School. As new kids at school that year, we shared the same road. There are many myths and legends concerning Kurt Cobain and his years living in Aberdeen, Washington, and many truths. The author spent his first 25 years living, working, and playing in the streets of life in town and has returned yearly on multiple occasions for 58 years. It was a different world back then. No internet, no cell phones, real conversations with real people. Grays Harbor will forever be recognized as my home away from home.

  • Awkward Listener with Kevin Johnson

    Kevin Johnson is the proud founder of 4EVRGRN. His roots run deep in the Pacific Northwest. It was only natural to name his brand after this incredible region, a place that means so much to him.

    Their goal is to shine a spotlight on the Pacific Northwest and all its wonders, from its amazing people to its soul-stirring music, mouthwatering food, thrilling wildlife, and awe-inspiring landscapes.

    For Kevin, it's all about giving everyone a voice. Kindness and respect should be extended to each and every person, and it's crucial for everyone to feel valued and loved. That's the foundation on which 4EVRGRN stands.

    One thing that truly sets them apart is their dedication to inclusivity. They've made it a priority to cater to people of all shapes and sizes, leaving no one out. Kevin couldn't stand seeing "hi-fashion" and "streetwear" labels limiting their sizes to just XL or at the most a 2XL, so he said, "Enough of that!"

    They've expanded their shirt sizes to include 4XL and even 5XL because everyone deserves to rock something comfortable.

    You know what else they value? Offering exceptional value without breaking the bank. Unlike some industry leaders focused solely on profits, their main aim is to make customers happy by providing top-notch products at wallet-friendly prices.

    So, join them on this journey as they celebrate the heart and soul of the Pacific Northwest, embracing diversity, spreading kindness, and giving you the best value in town. Let's make the world a little greener, together, 4EVRGRN.

  • Awkward Rock with Maria Wulf

    Maria Wulf is a professional drummer and educator specializing in Jazz. She can be seen performing in clubs and giving clinics throughout the Pacific Northwest. She has spent her life awkwardly navigating and succeeding in a male dominated field while overcoming feelings of self-doubt and stage fright. Performing music includes being put in the spotlight, often at unpredictable times and situations. The fear of failure has not stopped her from succeeding and reaching many of her life goals. She often uses the phrase Fail Often and Fail Forward. It’s through failure that we are given the opportunity to grow by addressing our shortcomings. Maria has overcome many roadblocks and failures on her musical journey and she attributes much of her success and consistent growth to her willingness to fail and learn.
