Portland

I was hoping to see more artifacts of Portland on this side of the pond, but there hasn't been much. The Gossip are high in the charts. I read an article in a Scotland paper interviewing one of Nike's designers. But I was hoping to find some Oregon beers, or even some Pinot Noirs, and haven't yet. The closest I've come is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in bottles; the American wines available tend to be common California labels like Robert Mondavi and Gallo.

So I was very proud to read this travel article on Portland in yesterday's Guardian. Even though no one told them the Dandy Warhols are played out.
