I don't have a beard. Portland, indie rock, video games, and theatre (lol)
Last year I was working a rehearsal for an opera that was part of the TBA Festival that started in front of the Schnitzer, and a few minutes into these slow building vocalizations there were suddenly a bunch of people bombing through. Beautiful chaos, great night.

ME: *11:10 pm two beers three tacos deep watching a 65 year old Black woman in a Sunday dress absolutely rock out to a dad band covering Queen Bitch* america is an idea. and a feeling in the heart.

When I opened the Patreon podcast feed for a second I thought you guys just really failed at this week's Any%

I will always remember that the class above me convinced him to watch Trainspotting. He was an all timer.

Every study says phones are terrible in the classroom, and every teacher I talk to says the same. The only concern is will they be able to do it without making it more of a burden and distraction for teachers.

The city's resistance to food trucks, it's main cultural export, in parks is baffling to me. Please let me have a hot dog next to the river

They're also trying to sort out who is actually going be to be running the P5 venues altogether, Metro, the city, or something completely different, so more messiness still to come

Just saw some pics from my cousin who works there who got to go onto the roof today, it seems like an amazing view up there minus the Portland City Grill fumes.

Hilariously unsurprising

I'm always a proponent of the 'shorter games with worse graphics made by people who who are paid more to work less' type of game, but for orgs of this size I worry about the loss of jobs. Hope they're working smarter and not just more profit focused

Same. I have some fond family memories there, but all of them are in spite of the food.

Spoilers in pic! I write notes and info on a legal pad, small achievable goals on sticky notes on my PC, and larger questions and goals on stickies on my monitor. Makes it really easy to find a goal and info for myself when I need, plus I always know what I'm working towards, big picture.

That's in the entrance to that building, not that corner spot, I believe.

This was my first year not qualifying and I've been checking that box long enough that it hit me harder than any birthday has.

Ahh I'd missed the why behind the tightness, makes sense.

God, not looking forward to that part of downtown being even less busy during the day. I know the city with the new council is pretty tight on space, is there a world the city could use it? Not that they have money to burn.

(also they're great kids but they're not pros so they usually kind of leave a mess, so having their own place is good for everyone)
