Portland, Cousins, Taking Back Sunday, and the WORLD SERIES

As soon as I got to Portland, Janine took me to the Grilled Cheese Grill food truck. Their homemade tomato soup had tomatoes in it, a concept I was not familiar with. Campbells really did a doozy on us growing up.


You will never find me in a bookstore, so this was a moment that Janine had to capture.

Voodoo Doughnuts

My maple bacon donut wanted to love Janine's vegan donut.



That episode of Portlandia where they keep posting flyers IS REAL. THAT ENTIRE SHOW IS REAL.

Chopsticks Karaoke is dooooooooooope on a Monday night. Erin and Janine sang Alanis Morissette.

We sang Kesha - Tik Tok

I'm wearing flannel, reading a book, and hanging with a cat. Portland really changes you.

This time spent with cats does not change how I feel about them.

Breakfast at Slappy Cakes! Janine made sweet potato, goat cheese, and veggie sausage pancakes.

There was a little bit of batter left so I made little guy mini pancakes.

We had dinner and drinks at McMenamins Kennedy School. The pictures and paintings are so creepy!


Eggs Benedict at The Country Cat! Yessss thank you.

We went to the Paxton Gate taxidermy store.

Portland is neat. Happy Birthday J9 <3

My cousin Nick was working in the bay and before he left for Boston we grabbed breakfast at La Boulange.


Nick is an official fuhleeshuh.com food blog participant! Hooray! :D

A TARGET OPENED UP IN THE CITY. THIS IS A BIG DEAL LOOK HOW NERVOUS AND EXCITED I AM. Mona is still stoked.

Wasn't sure I'd be in town for the TBS show so I held off on getting tix. Got back in time, saw tix were available but with a $9 service charge to buy them online? I thought "NOPE I'll walk my ass down the street and save $9" ---big mistake, I get to the Warfield box office, the guy says it sold out 5 minutes ago. I was so mad at myself, he comforted me saying "come back on Sunday, sometimes the band releases extra tickets that their guest list doesn't need". Sunday morning I walk to the box office, no tickets were released. 3 hours later the Warfield box office calls me and says 10 extra tix were just delivered! whaaat!!

I enjoyed the show from the back near the soundboard.

Then Adam Lazzara stopped by the soundboard to sing Happy Birthday to the sound guy! It was such a good show. Bayside was good too and I was brought back to my high school days. Happy 10th Anniversary Tell All Your Friends!


Ryan said he had two friends coming to the game with us, he failed to mention one was a Tigers fan -__-

After the Star-Spangled Banner 4 fighter jets flew over our heads! I LOVE AMERICA!
