portland

so around portland-ish jess and i decided we needed to be hired by the travel channel to do a road warrior show. we completely amused ourselves so we wondered why everyone else wouldn't be as equally entertained. we'll see what happens next week! ;)

so the drive down to portland was gorgeous. we arrived a couple hours before the show and drove around the city a bit. we so loved it! i really want to go back and hang out for a while. the place is adorable!

we grabbed dinner at sushi-land (i so love conveyer belt sushi places!!) and met a boy named dan. he was funny and within 2 seconds of meeting us told us he was gay. he said he was a filmmaker and that he knew interpol and had interviewed them for a doc he was working on. he wasn't going to the show but we hung out and enjoyed his company for dinner.

we then headed to the show. we didn't have tickets because we wanted to try to get gen admission on the floor. a portland trailblazer game had just gotten out at the some complex and somehow we were able to score free parking! then, we walked up the back way to the venue and a door was open. jessica, being the confident miss thing she is just walked right in. i had internal panic and paused. she turned around and yelled and me so i followed. hence, the nickname puppy was born for me. i just followed jessica in like a little puppy dog ;) we so got away with it, too!

and i don't feel all that bad about it because after the set the guys were taking a long time to come out. about 6 minutes later paul and sam came out and said that one of the guys was fucked up and that they were sorry but they couldn't so the encore. it was a little disappointing, clearly.

so we left and drove a couple hours south to eugene, or so our drive wouldn't be so hideous the following day. on to reno!
