This is Portland, we do what we like. This is Portland, we do what we like.

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

That reminds me. I'm hosting a special Christmas Edition of Jeremy's Cleverly Titled British TeeVee Night at the Low Brow next week. Tuesday, 12/15, 6pm on.

fuckin' freezing down here in Eugene as well.

walked the 6 blocks from the max to my house with groceries (i.e. I couldn't tuck my hands into pockets) and my fingers were completely stiff by the time I reached my door

Get yourself some gloves, Rev!

While I was able to bike around during the heat wave, I don't think I can tolerate biking in this.

tonight! 6pm at the Low Brow downtown!

snowing imo

The snow's piling up here, just south of P-town. Today's offical forecast: afternoon rain and a high temp of 40.

Took me 1.5 hours to get back to NE from the Lego Store at Wash SQ.

Currently on a way-off-course #9 bus heading south on MLK, which is cool since it will take me straight by the Low Brow.

Rev -- best place to get affordable gloves (assuming you boycot Walmart) is Andy & Bax. It's the army surplus store next to the delicious Nicholas Restaurant down on SE MLK. Go!

Also, people in this town need to learn how to drive in snow, or stay home. I had to do a lot of illegal passing to get to my house because all these stooges were stuck on a hill. Stay home retards!

Stomping home thru this shit whilst listening to Neu '75 is an interesting experience, one I haven't had in years since living in Ann Arbor

Already bought gloves $3 at the Portland Closeout down the street.

Stay home retards!
