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...

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.

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

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.
― kingfish, Thursday, 16 April 2009 02:50 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Clay, Thursday, 16 April 2009 05:50 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― kingfish, Saturday, 18 April 2009 01:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Might be doing if i get back into town on time
― bear, bear, bear, Saturday, 18 April 2009 04:25 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― Nate Carson, Saturday, 18 April 2009 22:22 (fifteen years ago) link
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!
― Darin, Wednesday, 8 July 2009 23:24 (fifteen years ago) link
I wish they wouldn't have named it that; 'Cesar Chavez Avenue' has a much better flow to it.

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

Move to Portland? Maybe? Good idea or no?
― cank sunny ade (The Reverend), Sunday, 12 July 2009 07:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah dude. Portland is great. I've lived here most of my life and have a hot and cold relationship with the town, but today I officiated an old friend's wedding, dj'd the reception, drank rad beer at the afterparty, then came home and walked to this amazing Korean taco truck in my neighborhood ($2 bulgogi tacos!) and am now drinking more awesome beer in my favorite bar. Good day that couldn't happen for me anywhere else.
― Turkoglu & Love Affair (Clay), Sunday, 12 July 2009 08:19 (fifteen years ago) link
I guess that's less to do with pdx and more me bein' like hell yeah life occassionally surprises you by being fuckin awesome but it's as good an argument as I can muster: sure, come to Portland because I had a great day.
― Turkoglu & Love Affair (Clay), Sunday, 12 July 2009 08:25 (fifteen years ago) link
rev, NO!!!
― tehresa, Sunday, 12 July 2009 08:26 (fifteen years ago) link
Portland is awesome, just go ahead and move here, you'll love it. But get a job lined up first. The market's a nightmare atm.
Also Clay I think my roommate was at that wedding.
― ENERGY FOOD (en i see kay), Sunday, 12 July 2009 09:05 (fifteen years ago) link
Korean taco truck
heresy!
I was planning on getting a job lined up before leaving. Thinking I want to get some interviews lined up for next week. That would be a good time to go down there.
So where do I want to live? Where do I not want to live? How's the weather compare to Seattle?
(don't you worry tza, I'll only be a few hours away)
― cank sunny ade (The Reverend), Sunday, 12 July 2009 09:32 (fifteen years ago) link
portland is dope imo
― J0rd D. (velko), Sunday, 12 July 2009 09:42 (fifteen years ago) link
Rev - definitely get a job lined up first. If you have one, it's the best city you could hope to live in.
Are you in Seattle now? What neighborhood? Do you like it? That will help me recommend where you want to live here.
Blindly, I'll suggest SE (west of 39th and north of Powell) or North Portland in the Mississippi area. Fuck living on the west side.
