As I write, from sunny Southern California, I can’t help but to be grateful for the incredible opportunities 2009 has brought me. I know, I know, it’s barely the second of twelve months, so I can only hope the excitement continues. Here’s a rundown of meaningful happenings:
- 2008 ended with a wonderful, yet eye opening, [...]

One of a handful of reasons for my blogging hiatus is the Portland Veloswap. What’s a Portland Veloswap? You ask. Put simply it’s an idea I had to bring individuals and businesses together to buy, sell, and trade new and used cycling equipment & apparel. It might not sound like a big feat, but given [...]

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 [...]

Another exciting weekend of live music and attempted athleticism. The Chaos began with Saturday’s Ghostland Observatory fiasco, then continued bright and early with the “Run Like Hell” half marathon and 10K… The race’s name was true to itself as I was truly in hell for the duration.

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’ve been in need of a spectacular experience for sometime now and am happy to say last night was just that, spectacular! It started off pretty typical – got home from work, went for a run, made some chow… Nothing too crazy. That is until I meandered down the hill and into the Arlene Schnitzer [...]

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!

With Fall in Portland, OR comes rain, wind, and–for some–seasonal depression, but first we receive some of the most spectacular Fall sunrises in the country… Second only to Badlands, SD.

Ok, so, unlike my previous post, this video isn’t for everyone, but I’m confident the majority of my readers will appreciate this re-mix of a classic Richard Simmons exercise video. Credit goes to a Portland-based creative who writes for a Portland-based juggernaut in the ad game.

There’s never a shortage of random videos–online–intended to make one laugh. Everyone has their own opinion of what’s funny or not, but here’s one I think anyone can appreciate. It’s a non-offensive, :30 TV ad a Portland, OR ad agency did for the Oregon Aquarium… Brilliant!
