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

Okay, flight was canceled, am now waitlisted for next flight later in morning. This ought to be interesting, but i'm bringing my laptop and iphone(w/ aux batteries), so i should be set.

Woo-hoo! Made my flight and the one afterwards(standing around by the desk = the most literal "standby" i've done in a while). Managed to escape the city and am here at parents house in Knoxville. Whee.

Is it snowing? Is it raining? Any of you drunks near Alberta st tonight?

I'm at the Nest.

Snowing in the Seattle area!

looks like we got maybe a quarter/half inch or so then it turned to rain.

And back to snow

Twitch/Stirmonster from Optimo in Portland tonight just FYI

Tuesday January 20th - Portland Holocene (Twitch)

OH SHIT! Any Seattle show?

'fraid not bld - LA tomorrow (which i was going to spam too but i don't know if there are LA regional threads or how to look for one).

At bagdad for new bsg ep tonight. They actually let people in early tonight.

Are they doing that every week now?

yeah, every week til the show ends in mid-March

so, uh, anybody know anybody who needs a place to live? The other two rooms in my house in the King neighborhood in close-in NE are empty, and landlord is getting increasingly desperate to fill them. Here's the CL advert:

Seems like those rooms should be easy to fill. I passed the link along to someone I know...

carpetted

apparently only idiot space cases have been applying, so there ya go.

xp yeah, he did that a coupla times

We Fight for the Users
(MOVIES) Listen up, Hollywood: Movies shouldn’t cost $10. We don’t care if they have fancy computer graphics. We want what all Americans want—cheap thrills and beer. The Bagdad Theater agrees, and is hosting a weekend with the greatest computer-graphics movie ever: Tron. Screenings are $3, but if you attend the 11 pm show on Saturday, Jan. 31, and say the phrase “Copy Blue Leader,” you’ll get in for $1.50. Same deal with Double Indemnity on the Bagdad’s $2 Tuesdays—mention WW on Tuesday, Feb. 24, and get in for a buck. Oh, and don’t forget that weekend matinees at the Mission (currently showing that new Bond thing) are always $1. Bagdad Theater, 3702 SE Hawthorne Blvd., 236-9234. Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan, 223-4527.

Weather!

Ah great, i get to drive up Bull Mountain today.

thankig u!

^_^

CLASS ACT

When are you going to visit? If you time it right, you can be here during the next Urban Iditarod

hit me up on the AIM at 'Senor Funkapus', I should be able to provide plenty

Shucks it's no thing, really. Just hit me up on webmail or somethin' before you head out this way.

Smoke weed and go to Powell's.

ah, kingfish, i will miss the iditarod. will bein seattle 3/19-3/25, not sure which day(s) i will go to portland yet (definitely not 20 or 21 though).

Monday, March 23: Philadelphia 76rs @ Portland Trail Blazers

awesome
xpost

Get here by mid-march and you can come watch the last ep of BSG with us at the bagdad.

Anybody up for wandering down to Pioneer Square to laugh at the Teabaggers today? Apparently they're going to be there at 6pm on...

well that was depressing. I need a drink now.

haha

anything noteworthy?

1000 different versions of 'FUCK YOU / GOT MINE' on placards, held up by suburbanites, chanting either USA or 'Our Voice will be heard,' b/c holding your demo in a city that voting overwhelming for the democrats in power and turned out for Obama to the tune of 75K in May makes obvious sense.

KPAM was there to provide rightwing vitriol and a PA.

Handful of counter-protestors, but the whole vibe was horrible so I had to relocate to the Low Brow for booze and to play with the new wireless toy here.

Photos to come. These people are pathetic & infantile.

I will probably be at the trail blazers rally at the same location tomorrow afternoon. It promises to be a little bit more fun than today's shenanigans.

Okay, several beers at the Low Brow and now home and I'm doing better now.

Still need two housemates, so, like, if y'all know anybody, gimme a holler.

Anybody going to the Stumptown Comics Fest this weekend? I'll be there helping out.

Might be doing if i get back into town on time

Warm day finally. Taking a break from Stumptown for nap run. Place is filled with people, and the Wondermark guys are here.

I'm in LA for the weekend. Sounds like I didn't miss much. If I was in town, I'd go see Spinal Tap acoustic at the Keller tomorrow.

Jesus Christ. We finally have warm days here and what happens? Some lady goes shopping at Bridgeport Village and leaves her pug in her SUV. Oh, but she leaves the window cracked a few inches!

The results were predictable, and here's the kicker:

She then covered the dog with a carpet and went back to the store.

Well, 39th Avenue is now officially Cesar Chavez Blvd!

Glad to see we have our priorities straight. Unemployment is at 12.4, second in the nation. And we have the added perk of having the 25th worse traffic in the United States.

Thanks Portland!

I wish they wouldn't have named it that; 'Cesar Chavez Avenue' has a much better flow to it.

God this really happened? I'm so glad I live on Mt Tabor.... hope it erupts soon and lays waste to you all!

Trek in the Park starts today at 5pm! Woodlawn Park in Northeast, where they're doing a live production of "Amok Time"

Also, today is the Mississippi Street Fair, and it'll probably thunderstorm! hooray!
