Clint,
Wait!! You say.... what, now?? There's another Portland?? Boy... the things you miss, growing up in the hinterlands.
Seriously, it's too bad you can't make it.You could bring bugs, and we'd supply the smoked salmon. Did you know how Portland, Orygun got its name? The two visionaries who decided that Stumptown (which is what it was know as for a long time) was fated to become a major metropolis were (naturally enough) from the east. One was from Boston, and one from... Portland. They flipped a coin, and the Portlander won the right to name this drizzly wide spot after his home town.
Did Mik share with you yet the poster I made up to advertise his talk? I have it in MS Publisher, and as a pdf - if you want to crib from it.
