Portland-ness

This has been such a Portland day. The weekend was also quite Portland-y. And I guess since we've returned it's really been a week just oozing with Portland.
We came home and then promptly ran by the Buffalo Exchange on Hawthorn, to be met with a store full of emo hipster wanabes, bad parking, and the need for sweatshirts.
The weekend brought the Rose Festival festivities, a BBQ with Temple friends, and more rain.
Today, a party cloudy Monday, we wandered on a wild goose chase around Portland State including groups of Asians, Chipotle, labyrinths of construction, walking for blocks to canceled appointments, a guy guy singing to himself, and multiple anti-Bush sticker - how more typical a day at Portland State day can you find. It was not bad at all however, as it didn't rain, someone knocked on my window as I was pulling into my (perfectly manouvered parallel) parking spot and gave me their 3 hour parking sticker, and we got a coupon for free Starbucks!
We take that as a welcome home from the North West.
