Doug Fir Round Up

Two of my closest friends in PDX skipped town today, NJ and GS. So last night was spent chillin' out and having a blast. NJ is off to Alaska for the entire month of May to see her luva, and GS is off to Europe and California for just over a week (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dublin and SoCal) to see Blind Pilot, Counting Crows, Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead. Yeah, I'm a bit jealous, but stoked to hear the stories.

Anyways, for NJ's last night in town, NJ, AM, KH and I went to Por Que No on Hawthorne for dinner. Awesome food. After that NJ, AM and I meandered over to the Doug Fir and then later to Galaxy for Karaoke. While at the Doug Fir, we decided to have a photo montage, primarily in their kick ass bathroom.

Here are some candid shots I got of NJ and AM in our furry nook prior to the bathroom extravaganza.


The view from our furry nook. It was lovely.


Let the bathroom goodness begin!


I love love love this photo of AM so much. Seriously, how much more awesome could it be?


AM was AMAZING at being a karaoke dancing queen!!!



After hanging out with the ladies, I drove over to see GS for a bit. While waiting for him to come down, I saw an interesting thing (see photo below). Lead paint??? DHS approved??? The white sign on the bottom right had 'POISON, no smoking'. Seriously??? I thought paint with lead in it was no longer allowed. Apparently I was wrong. But besides that, GS and I had a kick ass time over at Morrison Hotel. By far the best beer menu in town, including one of the raddest waiters/bar maid. They also have good burgers. I ended up just having two peppermint teas with honey.... A compromise with the bar/waiter dude (I originally wanted a hot tattie sans booze).
