penny for a thought | Patrick on every & anything

It’s truly calming to sit, on a Sunday night, and reflect on what you’ve learned over the weekend. Here’s my attempt.

• Yahoo! LIVE might be able to put the “social” back into “Social Media”
• Belgian Waffles at 2:00AM are a really good idea
• The sun does shine in Portland in February
• A 4-hour bike ride after an evening of 4-6 micro brews, probably not a good idea
• A hand built bicycle is a lot more beautiful than a manufactured one
• There’s a new strip club in Portland, Casa Diablo. It’s tucked away in the NW industrial park, a part of town only frequented by truckers and cyclists. I’m guessing CD’s target market is truckers… Strippers + spandex-clad cyclists = bad idea, I’m sure.
• Jack Johnson’s new album is over produced and unimpressive. Poor Guy!
• An incredible $18 show does exists, Umphrey’s McGee proved it by ending a 3.5-hour, two set show with a cover of the CLASH’s London Calling
