Mind-taxing drives, epic bike rides, Bobcat encounter, copious amounts of Mexican food, and Lance Armstrong… All words which define my eleven-day road trip to SoCal and back. The adventure kicked off with a 14-hour drive from Portland to Los Angeles, which began at 2:30AM several Thursdays ago. It then progressed with a week’s worth of [...]

Very few people can admit to loving a particular airline. Southwest, however, is one airline I can I honestly say I love. With more than 12 round trips on the “balling on a budget express,” Southwest has yet to let me down.
With fair prices, no luggage fees, premium snack selection, professional, friendly, and [cheezy] humorous [...]

For a moment, I didn’t think I’d ever get to my planned holiday destination, Naples, FL, as a hell-storm of winter weather dominated the Pacific Northwest. If you’re not from the PNW you likely saw it on the news – a full week of sub freezing temperatures coupled with a plethora of snow. As if [...]

As gnarly weather continues to wreak havoc on the Pacific Northwest and I struggle to survive without water do to frozen pipes in my house, I can only dream ahead to where I’ll be next week. Come Sunday I will be soaking up sun, surf, and family in Naples, FL. Mom, dad, two brother and [...]

Those of you not into snow, surf, or skate sports are probably asking, “What means gnar?” Put simply, gnar is an abbreviation of the word gnarly. It’s an adjective often used among skiers, surfers, snow boarders, and skate boarders to rank conditions on a scale of dangerousness and coolness.
For this entry, gnar is used to [...]

If you appreciate good, trendy Rock & Roll inspired by southern roots you’ll love Kings of Leon. The trio of brothers (plus a cousin) totally rocked a sold out Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall last night in Portland. The energy was exhilarating and the venue’s sound quality was impeccable.
Five sound hours of sleep later and I’m [...]

Oregon’s most spectacular mountain absolutely owned me this morning… That’s the short story. Here’s the extended version: It was 2:30AM on Sunday when my alarm clock began to chirp. The “stoke” was high, so there was no need to hit snooze. Instead, I threw on my already laid-out clothes, devoured some already made oats, [...]

It has been an exciting weekend, and to think, it’s not even noon on a Saturday. The fun began last night with a party at D Echo’s photography studio, Straub Collaborative, where The Helio Sequence rocked the faces off of a 200+ audience of Portland creative folk… It was ridiculous, Seriously! Between the music, kobe [...]

I hate to over-speculate, but tomorrow’s Sigur Ros show in Portland promises to be in my top five concert experiences… Somewhere in the mix with Radiohead, Daft Punk, Bjork, and Rage Against the Machine.
Miraculously, a lucky friend and I will be sitting 2nd row center… Whooo Whoooooooo!

Following up from yesterday’s entry, I haven’t been bed ridden; in fact, I didn’t miss a day of work and still managed to force in some painful training rides (though I’m sure the exercise was counterintuitive.) Between work, cycling and the lady friend, I had zero energy to do much else. That said, life has [...]

Wow! A nearly two-month blogging hiatus, how could I? I’ll tell you, it has actually been easy… Remember my last blogosphere disappearance when I joked about using illness as my excuse? Well, Karma got the best of me as soon after that statement a life altering (non-contagious) intestinal virus hit me like a home-run [...]

Being a longtime fan of skateboarding and, occasional, moderately decent shredder myself, I’m really psyched on this footage of Rodney Mullen, one of the sport’s pioneers. Judging by Rodney’s garb, It’s obvious the video’s circa 1984 (around the time I was born… Just saying.) Though it was filmed in Japan, so you never know, [...]

Today was unarguably Portland’s most beautiful day of 2008… Freezing cold? Definitely! But absolutely gorgeous to say the least.
Being an Ohio transplant by way of Montana made today’s freezing temperature pretty easy on me. Though not-so-much true for native Portlanders. Today I learned that ice sneaks up on you; especially when descending steep, rural [...]

There’s nothing better than New York City during the holidays–chilled air, damp sidewalks, Rockefeller Center, a giant Christmas tree (cut in Oregon… pssst) and ice skating. Need I say more? Seriously, there’s nothing better than NYC this time of year, not-a-thing, honest. Well maybe world peace, but let’s be real.
In the midst of a week [...]

It feels good to be back in Portland, but come Saturday I leave town again, this time for work, not just play. However, the work should be so fun that you’d think I was playing. Why? Because it’s the 2007 Feast of the Seven Fishes (FOTSF) media tour. FOTSF is part comic book, part cookbook [...]
