I wake up to a loud rv, rattling like hell, snuggled up in a borrowed blanket and my jacket for a pillow.. yeah, I still need a wal-mart stop..
After a couple Love's stops (..gotta love truck stops!!!) and a best buy stop (I, being a dumbass, forgot my netbook charger at home!) we finally get to Portland.
The first thing I notice when we get to the venue is a giant line.. not for the show, but for VOODOO Donuts.. yesssss....
Then I notice a giant billboard that says "KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD" ...AWESOME!!!
So after a late load in, I finally get set up.. and I have a few moments before doors open.. so I run next door to VOODOO DONUTS. Fuck yeah. I've seen them on Travel Channel, or something.. and I heard they had a BACON WRAPPED DONUT.
So I fortunately caught the shortest line of the day.. apparently the line is usually out to the corner, and I caught it right at the door.. I paid 2.50 for a bacon donut.. BEST 2.50 I HAVE EVER SPENT.
The show was pretty entertaining, lots of drunkasses..one woman was sleeping.. yeah. Met a grandmother who introduced her daughter and granddaughter to FP!
Some drunk guy kept bribing me to get to meet Taime.. I had to explain that Taime is MY BOSS and I cant sell his time.. it's the other way around!
Another guy got kicked out, and continued to be obnoxious at the front door.. at one point cawing like a crow as loud as possible.. yeah.
Finally it was time to head back to the Jupiter Hotel where we stayed.. The hotel was AWESOME. It was an older style motel all redone very mod-60's-retro Eames style..LOVE IT.
I took off with some friends to a club up the street.. no, no details there :)
Ended the night with a shower.. sooooo nice.. you'll never appreciate a shower like that till you've been living in close quarters with 6 dudes and haven't showered..
youre missing the most important part of the story!! ME! lol jk
