Portland Strikes Back
Several friends and strangers emailed from Portland to insist that, ahem, Portland, not Minneapolis, remains the coolest town in America. The food, the music, the people, the natural beauty (the biting rain, the clear-cuts, etc)
Breakthrough Advisory Board member Larry Wallack has put on a couple of events for me next week, November 1 and 2, including a City Club lecture (see upcoming events for more information).
Today, Portland's Willamette Week, one of the country's best weekly newspapers, ran a brief Q&A with me today. I haven't yet checked music listings for November 1, but can't help but think it will be hard to top the New Pornographers show in Minneapolis.
