Wow- how fast can the summer go? its now raining on a oft-daily basis, and the weather has got a little chillier tinge to it. The summer sun is fighting off the 9 months of rain that will soon encompass the sleepy town of Portland. In the meantime, I finished ER month, and about to finish Ambulatory month.
1. My cousins from our cousins in the north, canada, graced me with their presence for a beautiful NW weekend. How coincidental that Viv and Gord decided to come down on a little gettaway the same weekend that Winnie and her girlfriends decided to have a fun trip to Portland. Both emailed me about their plans without knowing what the other was doing. In anycase, good food (the screen door is amazing), good company, and the Mt. Tabor Soap Box derby day later, the weekend was a blast. Its the best part about moving back to the West Coast- Family.
2. Next big event was MFNW. 4 days of wide variety of music. from the weird to the standard. Kyle and I had ambulatory month- which mean basically we were free to catch any show we wanted at any of the venues around PDX. Checked out wonder ballroom in NE for Washed Out and Phantogram; then Crystal Ballroom for Panda Bear (yawner btw). Friday night college buddy andy came into town and we hit up the bars, then okkervil river at crystal ballroom, then some random warehouse party in god knows where, having to hitch hike home with a girl from Berkeley no less..... Saturday Brady came in and the wknd is too much of a blur btw Decemberists, the Walkmen, and the National, seeing Nick and pregnant Libby, and eating good food... well you get the picture......a fun wknd had by all. i think??
