Back from Portland..
......unfortunately. arrived on Thursday in hopes of seeing Thrill Kill Kult, but apparently, after all these years, they had some major argument or something, and broke up last Sunday unbenounced(is this a word?) to us. We were informed of this by a stripper we were talking to at Marys, a "dive" bar/strip joint (what people refer to as dive bars in Portland is funny). So, we checked out Shadow play, their weekly Thursday industrial night at the Fez, which, is quite an interesting venue. It was fun, saw more people out on the dance floor than most of time anywhere here. Got to drunk that night at the end, but all in all, a good time....
....Friday we decided to check out a part of town I had never been to, but Angel remembered from when she was briefly homeless back before I met her. It's always a little weird for her going back to Portland at first, but we always have the greatest times when we visit. Anyway, since I'm probably just talking to myself, which if fine, we checked out the Southeast part of town, found a great clothing/records store, Alteration Nation, than found a punk "dive" bar called Plan B. Everyone was exceptionally friendly, which by judging by the outside of the bar, was kind of surprising. Hung out there for quite some time w/some strangers we were chatting with. Later in the night, we checked out Union Jacks, the strip bar across the street from our hotel. Man, let me tell you. There is just something right about being able to have a fucking drink in one hand, your girlfriend in the other, and a hot tattooed up stripper shoving her snatch in your face all at the same time. It's a shame Seattle squanders such possibilities.
...Saturday, we had originally planned to go to the NW black metal festival, but found out the cover was $15 each, and by this day, we were having to stretch our dollars out as much as possible. So, we hung out with this girl we met up here w/Brian, who lives in Beaverton w/her dude, who was way cool. Said we could stay at their place for free next time we were down, which is great. Checked out Chinatown, Ground Kontrol, an awesome bar/arcade/live music venue. Than, we stumbled unto the venue where the festival was, and spotted Victoria and her douchebag of a boyfriend, Ray, walking out of it. We walked over to her to say hi, and she totally fucking snubbed us. She said hi, and they just kept walking. Very weak. It's probably because Ray didn't want her to, he's always been a dick to us going back to the Eugene days, for reasons I have never known. Any fucking way, it was very rude. So we capped the night off by checking out another strip club in the seedy part of town, and were greated with more hot tattoed strippers at the club. We were just running out of money when Heather, who used to bar tend at the el corazon, spotted us, and bought us some shots. I forget why she was in town, but it was cool. So, three of her friends got cut off from the bar, which was weird, and they left kind of early. We had to as well, had almost 0 dollars left, so we called it a night.
...It was a great mini-vacation, as it always is everytime we go down there, and as always, it didn't last long enough. Back to the grind that is Seattle life, at least for another 3 months before any breaks in the action..what a bummer. With my job security looking more and more uncertain, it starting to look like a potential home in the future at some point..as my job is one of the last things holding us back...guess time will tell..anways, that's all for now...now I go back to random, weird, short posts every week or so.....yup.
