portland + seattle = portattle

lkm and i were in portland, seattle, corvallis and manzanita for most of october. here's the proof.

spent some time biking around portland and walking around seattle, looking at all the neighborhoods. great towns. they seem to have a brewpub every other block and most everyplace has some sort of happy hour special.

found the morrison hotel in portland. not the real morrison hotel, just an exact doppelganger. This is what the wikis have to say: "The cover photo was taken at the actual Morrison Hotel located at 1246 South Hope Street in Los Angeles. The band asked the owners if they could photograph the hotel and they declined, so the band went inside when nobody was looking and took the photograph."

here's how lkm cuts loose:
went out to manzanita on the oregon coast. got to try our hands at crabbing. we didn't catch a damn thing. but we did manage to convince ourselves that if we ripped open the fish heads, the crabs would "smell" our bait better.


granger loved it out there.
