Just a note to self more than anything, but here’s what you can look forward to hearing about as far as our trip to Portland, OR goes:
- Park Kitchen — So good we went there twice.
- Kenny & Zuke’s — So good we never ate breakfast anywhere else.
- Gogol Bordello — And the experience of an all ages show in Portland.
- The City of Portland — We walked all over the place. It’s tiny and awesome.
So stay tuned…

Side note: This is turning into the Autumn of Concerts for Team Sutton. To date, we’ve seen Spiritualized (which I have so far failed to write up, but was totally awesome) and Gogol Bordello; and soon we will see Fleet Foxes, DeVotchKa, and a spoken-word turn by Hank Rollins.
Nice!
Barely captioned, but it is what it is…
I’ll be posting at least a couple write-ups fo the trip soon.
Tomorrow The Wife and I hope on a Frontier Airlines flight to Portland, OR.
We’ve never been there and we don’t have “people” there — This is actually our first vacation with such a destination; we usually use vacations to visit friends/family. Needless to say, we’re more than a little excited.
Our hotel is in the Pearl district, so we should have plenty to do and see, though we have almost no specific plans.
Watch the Flickr feed and Twitter for updates.
The two or three of you out there who were paying attention to BU ice hockey in the early 90s will no doubt remember goalie Scott Cashman.
Well, the poor guy just died at the age of 39.
Crazy.
A bit to my surprise, one of my favorite “space rock” (aka “heroin is awesome”) outfits is coming to town. I’ve been a big Spiritualized fan since around 1994-ish when I first heard Lazer Guided Melodies in my friend Jared’s apartment, and for some reason just figured I’d never see them live. Now, though, they are playing the Ogden tomorrow night, and The Wife and I have tickets.
There’s a slight chance bigger things could interfere with our plans, but for right now, I think I need to queue up the latest release, Songs In A&E, to get to know it a bit more…
If you have my home phone number, go ahead and lose it.
The Wife and I are stepping up to the modern times and finally cutting the cord with Ma Bell. It’s wireless or nothing from here on out.
