Wotta night

I live on the north side of Mt Tabor and I love it.

btw yall, Nate is quite the awesome dude

Aw, shucks.

Having a Still-Untitled British TeeVee night at the Low Brow on Tuesday the 20th. 7pm til 10-11 or so. Free, all invited, bring your friends, etc.

Figured we'll start with some easy picks(Doctor Who, Blackadder, Jeeves & Wooster, whatever else we can find on Region 1 dvd) and go from there.

For Columbus day, I have the amazing OvO (from Italy) playing at Tube (18 NW 3rd) tonight. BTW, every monday I Dj there; it's Heavy Metal Ladies Night ($2 Hamms & well drinks for the ladies).

This should be a really good one. Come one, come all!

I'll take "Sentences that you read and think: Portland" for $1000...

"Prosecutor Eric Zimmerman told Judge Eric Bergstrom that Harris plans to get a memorial tattoo of the fish and wanted Fite to pay for it."

The judge ordered Fite to stay away from Harris, but said he could have contact with fish.

Butthole Surfers at Crystal Ballroom tonight!

cats and dogs tbrr

btw I somehow miraculously found a job and start on monday

it's actually in a convinient location, too. just 2 stops down the max from my place

Congrats!

Also YOU TOOK OUR JOBS

I'm proud of taking your jobs.

Gloat if you like. You earned the right to. Jobs are hard to find now.

My nissan had an alternator die on thursday night, and i got the thing as far as the garage two blocks away! So i'm car-less(again) assuming they get the part in on tuesday...

in better news, they're showing a Gordon Liu kung-fu flick tonight at the Hollywood at 7:30!

My parents brought a bunch of stuff down, so now I have a bike, stereo, dresser, musical instruments, among other things. We had lunch at the Thai Peacock and explored Powells. Luckily the weather decided to clear up for us.

Kingfish, do you live in the Hollywood area? That's where my new office is.

i live about 1.5 miles NW of it, just south of MLK park.

See Reverend? Things work out here. It's awesome :)

foie gras profiteroles at le pigeon?

lol

my budget right now is more like top ramen at le home

Food stamps man. Then you can be like me and buy nice cheeses and peppered salamis and organic produce.

Naw, I'm eatin' a little bit better than that, but still very much on the cheap. More like pickin' up Colby instead of Cheddar because it's 2.20 for half a pound rather than 2.50 is where I am. No matter, money should start rollin in by the beginning of November.

I had a great time in Portland this weekend:

Laurelhurst Market was delicious as was my second visit to Le Pigeon. The PSU farmers market is incredible and the Applefest had more apples than I'd ever heard of. Also, I got absolutely drenched on Saturday afternoon but at least it was never cold.

Avoid Beaker and Flask, though. Ugh.

I just want to rep again for Vintage on 79th and SE Stark. That's a cool (tiny) cocktail bar. vintagepdx.com

In that case, I'll rep again for The Country Cat next door. I'm addicted to this place. Dinner is a bit spendy, but their brunch menu is reasonable.

Darin, I figured you guys would never go back after you ate that deep-fried head cheese and thought it was a hush puppy.

The deep-fried head cheese is great, btw.

My annual music festival Fall Into Darkness is only 9 days away. 3 nights of heavy, artful music at Berbati's Pan 10/29-31. Earth, Agalloch, and YOB headline.

Gonna finally catch Chariots of Rubber tonight. And Hump tomorrow. Yay!

Zombiewalk is on Saturday the 24th, starting at 3:00pm at the south park blocks. I'll be there.

Wish I was going to that fest Nate

It was amazing. I'm still tired...

Hosting another British TeeVee Night at the Low Brow Lounge this tuesday(12/1), 6pm til whenever.

Dang, is it cold.

Hooray for subfreezing temps. I got a cold from Saturday's santacon event, and the weather since hasn't helped.

29º in seattle right now! sheesh, they told me seattle was moderate!

I wish I had a thermometer so I could confirm that it is about 40 degrees in my apartment atm.

the rooms in my house other than my bedroom are completely uninhabitable

haha the thermostat (only tells me deg in increments of 5) was btw 55 and 60 when i woke up this morning (heat off all night but some sun coming in the window!).

if I turned my heat off while I was asleep I would surely perish.

36mph wind gusts are a special kind of bullshit

Heat is out in our office and it's freezing! I can barely type.

No space heater. No heater heater. Basement bedroom is brrrr.

it is nice to not have to keep beers in the fridge upstairs tho

fuckin' freezing down here in Eugene as well.
