This last weekend was amazing… action packed… crazy… naked… wild… I don’t even know… It all started on a mild sunny Friday… the plan was to celebrate Erica’s birthday… did we accomplish that… you be the judge. Josh, Hilary, and I drove up and checked into our room, we met Richie up there… then we walked around, went to Powell’s Books, then walked around some more. Portland is a nice little town…. we are Southern Oregon rednecks… let the fun begin…
Funny?…. well….
Kinda…. Shhhhh!!!!
What did they expect people to do….
I like this one cause it is a good demonstration of the food chain… Primary consumer, secondary consumer, and top consumers….
and that was just the first two hours… by then Dan and Erica had arrived and checked into their room… and Jon showed up… and we went to see a rock show at the Tonic Lounge… So we show up at the Tonic to see Baby Dana and The Crash Engine.
It was a whole lot of fun. Real nice guys and good music… a real good show. After the Crash Engine we helped them load up their gear and came back inside to see the next band, Royal Houser
… I was really anticipating them, based purely on the fact that these guys were by far the coolest looking guys in the room. I had actually heard a couple of their songs online, but their live show was even better. The crowd was going nuts, the band was just rocking the place… if you ever get the chance to see them play don’t miss it… after they were done I wanted to ask if it would be alright to use their music in my next movie, so I went up to buy a CD. The guitar player, Peter was surrounded by people trying to talk to all the people and sell the merchandise at the same time… so I’m standing in line and Sam, the bass player walks up and introduces himself, and I thought “wow these guys are the nicest guys in the world”, so I shake his hand and tell him my name, and he’s like, “yeah, I saw your videos online. I really liked the Mexican one.” So that was pretty cool, that is the first time I have been recognized by anyone, cause only like 50 people have seen my videos. So I talked to the guys for a little while longer, and they are the nicest guys in the world… and they said that I could use their music… which is going to be really sweet.
Then we loaded up in Jon’s truck and went back to the hotel. It was great, we picked up some beer and started hanging out. We had three different rooms on three different floors so we bounced around a little and decided that Johns room had the best view, so was naturally the best party spot. So there we are partying, enjoying the view… and then we notice that we aren’t the only ones… there were four girls in their underwear in the room across the street dancing, dirty, really dirty in the window. So we start dancing dirty, but fully clothed… then the girls start flashing us, but we can’t really see them that well, so we had to watch them for a while and discuss whether they are indeed flashing us… and by the end we were sure that the were… although we still couldn’t really see them… we could just see things like the silhouette of a bra in their hand and stuff… but still that’s pretty cool… and we don’t really know if they were super hot, or complete dogs… but I would like to think that they are super models… Then we went to the Pita Pit and came back… and they were still dancing… but we were tired and had to go to bed… when we woke up we went to breakfast/lunch at Hot Lips Pizza and then hit the Hawthorn district thrift stores, which is always fun, I found some really cool pants, but they were just a little too big… but I should have gotten them anyway…
I think that the only way to describe these would be… um… Flash Dance Ass Pants… well not really but I love saying that… the rest of the day was a blur of fun… we went to the Montage and I had some Alligator Jambalaya, then we went to a hockey game and watched the Winter Hawks get beat by the Seattle thunderbirds, then we went back to the hotel room… and looked out Jon’s window… “hot naked girls”… no… “fat naked man”… yes, so fat naked man and some girl were in their hot tub, and out and whatever… not near as fun as hot naked girls… even though like with the hot naked girls, you couldn’t really see anything, just the thought of fat naked man put a damper on the fun… so we went back to Josh and Hilary’s room… and got kicked out after several noise complaints… we were singing… I threw the Portland phone book a couple times… Dan and I had a wrestling match… apparently it was too much… so back to Jon’s room… along the way Dan played us some elevator music on his guitfiddle… we thought it was so pleasant that Dan and I thought others might enjoy it also… so we just hung out on the elevator and played for people… it was a hit… great weekend… so much more happened and I want to tell the whole story but I fear that I have already gone too far… so I will spare you… but if you want to know more… take me out to coffee, or lunch or something… and I will fill your ears with my tales of adventure.
