Today is Blumesday. Happy Blumesday. What is Blumesday? Blumesday is the much-needed holiday invented by a couple of Portland writers that celebrates the writings of Judy Blume and the all things that angsty teenage girls fret over. Reading from some of the famed tomes, such as Blubber, Forever, Deenie and the seminal Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, will be Melanie Hutsell, Jill Soloway, Carrie Aizley, Maggie Rowe and Ronna & Beverly.
