portland, oregon [made famous by loretta & jack]
My dad and I went down to Portland today to see Rasputina open for Les Claypool. When the doors opened one of the Roseland employees announced that the openers wouldn't be playing. Nooooooo whyyyyyy??? Well apparently their van broke down coming from San Francisco. We were told to get a refund at the point of purchase but instead my dad sold them to a couple of guys and managed to piss off a scalper. The scalper dude was trying to sell the guys 4 tickets for $200 but they only needed 2 and he tried to get my dad to sell him his tickets [so he could jack up the price, no doubt]. When my dad refused, he attempted to grab them out of his hand and when that didn't work, he said, "FUCK YOU. YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'RE NOT DEAD!" What. The. Hell. Scalpers are dead to me. I'm putting it on the board.
Man, I hope the band makes it up to Seattle for tomorrow's show. I miiiiiss them!!!
Reasons why going to Portland was still alright:
- Bought The Office S1 [sale], Lois & Clark S2 [sale], and The Red Curtain Trilogy [used!] with NO SALES TAX! Man, I love Oregon.
- Went to SushiLand. Not as good as the ones in Seattle and Bellevue but hey, it was sushi.
- Discovered the existence of a town in Oregon called Boring! Yes, that's right. Boring, Oregon. I laughed for five minutes straight when I saw the sign. Ohhhhh I feel bad for everyone who lives there.
