Aside from the strippers what was good about portland? I rarely go because I think the pull for a lot of people is similar to that of seattle. If you're from the midwest or southern california I can see it being a cool place to visit (just as if youre from seattle or portland, southern california is) but since I live in portlands cousin-city, I don't know what to look forward to.

Good food truck food? We got it. Portlands may be slightly better, but how good can it get in comparison.
Stupid fucking hipsters? Yep.
Stupid hipster food that doesn't make any sense? Yep. (Artisanal seaweed? Suck my dick.)
etc.
etc.

Good food trucks for sure.  Actually, more like carts.  The food truck craze was reborn in SoCal but the variety (especially Thai and Viet) up there is awesome.

Haha lots of hipsters and artisan bread makers and shit like that.  I think what makes it awesome for me is:

Cool breweries in and around Portland (i liked the Deschutes tasting room)
Cool scenery like you don't see in SoCal (the city is on the Williamette - pretty awesome)
The nightlife is pretty freaking awesome, especially in the Pearl District
There's a really cool arcade called Ground Kontrol that serves like 10 beers on tap and has probably 50-100 video games
Super solid public transportation in the city center (used to be free, now i think it's like $2)

Sounds a lot like seattle minus the quality public transportation.
Oh well for my bachelor party I'm just gonna get naked in the bathtub and drunk by myself and not make anybody deal with me.

I am going to Vancouver around May 7-11.  My buddy from Seattle is meeting me up there, but I might head down there for a day too.

Seattle=Vancouver=Portland for all intents. Unless you're coming for the beer, in which case Seattle=Portland

Seattle seems like a cool place

Are they using tax free cigarettes from the 90s for pricing? Saved closer to $12,000, not $3,000

I thought I put the price at 7.25 but it was actually at $3.00. I corrected it and it ballooned to $7,000.

When did you apply to buy it? I applied the first day it was announced.



Ken, it is a music player, recorder, radio, shopping assistant, fact checker, alarm clock, and more.

I guess that's not too bad but $200 is too much.

so music player, radio and recorder. I'm not really too impressed with voice recognition ability so I'm skeptical about the voice recorder, fact checking, shopping assistant aspects of it.  Is it always on? Aren't all those functions available on your smart phone? I'm just trying to figure out the upsell here...
