It is true blogworld. Patrick Alan Coleman of the Merc’s Blogtown is leaving us next month. This little Portland blogger will sure miss his bantering and misspelled rantings. So for you Patty, we give you the following video as a farewell…
Apparently there are really old houses in Astoria. Besides that and the Maritime museum (yeah, I went)…there is absolutely nothing to do in Astoria. I feel so bad for the kids there. The big concert of the weekend was held at the hotel coffee shop of the Commodore, an “Ace Hotel” wanna be, seriously, these [...]
So your favorite local beer dudes at Migration just sent me a little letter. Apparently these guys are releasing two more beers…um yes please. “Ah ha! More details” you say. On September 18th Migration is hosting a benefit for Pangaeaproject (WTF?? Cool…Check it). These guys are totally cool for doing this, but there’s a BBQ [...]
Like a lot of you hard working service industry slaves, I had to work while the friends went on the weekend camping trip to Beaver Lake. So, unlike my usual, early week blog about the great outdoors, I’ll talk to you a little about Nanofest, the place where beer is born.
That’s right folks. Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside is playing in a few short hours at the Doug Fir, and you’re invited. SM will be there shaking our tail feathers after a grueling night of eating Bacon at Baconfest and wandering the streets up on Alberta. Leave it to Sallie Ford though to wash [...]
For all of you local homeboys, the place all of Portland’s young and penniless, and all of crooked-toothed Troutdale, are hanging out in this heat is apparently the Sandy River. Take it from me, the water is icy, the cops are cool with you drinking by the water, and the sky is bright and open. [...]
OMG. That water is cooooold!!! I’ll tell you what, you go down the the McKenzie River, right between Sisters and Springfield (outside Eugene), and dip those little “sitting on my ass, reading blogs” feet into that rushing white water and you’ll know the definition of cold. Check it…
Your sexy writers went floating on the Clackamas this weekend. Yes sir, we roped a cooler to an inner tube and went bobbin down an icy cool waterway. Where you say?? Well all that to come after the jump…>
It’s been a month, and in that time period, Coalition Brewery, previously Hobo Brewery has grown by leaps and bounds. The owners of this friendly neighborhood drinking hole, Elan Walsky and Kiley Hayes, sat down with me to talk a little about the space, the beer and the the new adventures that these two are [...]
Damn, where does the time go. It seems like yesterday I was getting my swerve on at Beer Fest 2009, and here she comes again. That’s okay, I love it when she comes to visit. Anywho, for all of you beer drinkers out there, the beer fest in Portland is NOT to be missed. It’s [...]
