Oregon Experience | The Complex History of the Oregon Country Fair A deep look at the longest-running arts and craft fairs in the United States

A great history piece on our beloved @oregoncountryfair.bsky.social from @opb.org and Oregon Art Beat: www.pbs.org/video/the-co...

Yes! This whole show/album from Montreaux is essential listening.

Les, Eddie, and Leroy Vinnegar, who we used to go see late in his life play with a jazz trio on the 40th floor of the us bank tower in portland late 90s/early 00s.

Upright bass and oxygen tank. Legend.

RIP Sly 😢

Fullers coffee shop pumping the velvet underground on a misty morning is peak Old Portland. Here for it.

Mist with a side of Intense Petrichor this morning… #pdxtst

L: no one on my team laughed at my Wu-tang joke…

W: teenage friend of family said my joke/observation about aging Democrats was “so real”.

So I’m batting .500 I guess?

a man in a suit is singing into a microphone while standing on a stage with a band behind him . Alt: The band “sexual chocolate” from the film “coming to America”

You mean… *actual* sexual chocolate?

I have the gym for that. They remind me. Daily.

Also, I’m pretty sure this was the first version of the tune “stolen moments” that I heard. The original (which is *very* different) knocked me for a loop when I eventually did hear it.

Amazing album. I still have that CD… somewhere…

So Phil Knight isn't interested in buying the @trailblazers.bsky.social.

How about we follow the Packers' lead and somehow get the team to be owned by the people of Portland? B corp? Somehing like that? Could be the most Portland thing ever...

Ironically, I found out that same night in 2023 that bitters & sodas at CPA came with unlimited free refills 🤷‍♂️

Oh man. Legendary. And the world’s best deep-focus-work-accompaniment music.

Always get the special.

Portland! The Walkaways are at the Laurelthirst Pub this evening at 9pm. All your popular favorites, and a few surprises. Come on down!

Day ain’t over, chief…

Nice!

This old-school Twitter logo/tweezer is one of my favorite lot shirts :-)

Love it!

(And apparently, in the original, many of the qualifications involved being able to do various dances. So take note, fellas.)

To be fair, Linda Lyndell’s was the original, but S&P’s update was pretty amazing too: open.spotify.com/track/7dwJqw...

Yes please!

I hope they play more than just the boat…
