I am like a big weepy girl for Portland and the lovely people in it. Only I got here in July 2005, so talk about hitting the sweet spot. For that reason, the Decemberists song "July, July" is my Portland theme song - every time the lyrics get to "there is a road that meets the road that goes to my house" I get kinda choked up. The song itself is loopy/creepy, but it holds all the exuberance of having a crazy place to call your own, and this town is it. I didn't know I dominated your purchases! I feel special. And for the record, I sold right around 20 copies of Click, with nary a hard sell in sight, and the vast majority to total strangers! Holy smokes! If you want to go in on on a big ole batch that we can split, I'm down for it, because I'm a'gettin' an internet sto'. This made me all teary, because I feel the exact same way.

Ah, Stumptown. The busdriver on Monday laughed at me on Monday when he saw my wallet full of single-dollar bills and asked me if *I* was headed to a strip club.
