clapton is god.
We are knee-deep in Portland, folks. Have been for a couple days now. As expected it's a really nice town with lot's of really great, hospitable, wonderful people. Some with magnificent fancy spoon collections:
We have been breaking off into little groups, and right now Peter and I are catching up on things in the Stumptown Coffee Roasters at 3rd and Pine right now. We just got a call from the rest of the guys, who are kickin' it at a friend's house in Beaverton. They want start heading north pretty much right now. I kind of don't want to leave, but I guess it's appropriate that a coffee shop would be one of the last places i see in this town. So far I have been to the following coffee shops:
Fresh Pot on Mississippi
Half & Half
A place by Mike's house that had really great croisants. Ken's?
Stumptown Coffee Roasters
The coffee here is amazing. Particularly this courier stuff.
Show report:
dudes played at this rad place called the Artistery with Calvin Johnson and Julie Doiron. It was family style, in a round robin, where each of our three bands played two songs each while julie doiron and Calvin played amazing full sets each. It was so weird and awesome. the Aristery has a great church basement vibe and they had free falafel and hummous snacks.
Pete and I have to quick run to the Independant Publishing Center to talk to a guy. I will finish this up later.
I don't want to leave already!
love, geo
shit, julie doiron, i'm jealous.
