Gotta love the pirates picture – anytime pirates parade through a city, stumble into a bar in full pirate garb, then hop back into their fire truck/pirate ship without PDX’ers even batting an eye? Pure KPW.

You did have a great game last night, Channing! It’s sad that Joel’s hurt but I’m glad to see you getting a chance to shine with the starters.
One of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen here was a trivia night between people dressed as Vikings and Aliens at McFaddens’ in Old Town. I went there with some friends for happy hour and the place was full of these strange cats all dressed up in Viking and Alien garb. I wish I had gotten a photo, but the memory is still seared in my brain…KPW indeed.

Way to sneak the “keep Portland weird” in to that interview tonight. That was classic.
