Re: “Win Tickets to the Dirty Projectors!”
I deserve to win because something idiotic has happened every time I've tried to see them play here in the past four years. Plus, Little Wings is opening and Light Green Leaves is one of my favorite records OF ALL TIME.
Re: “Say Goodbye to Starfucker. Say Hello to PYRAMID!”
Is there a more fucked out and annoying indie rock trend than the ALL CAP BAND NAME? If there is, is it the melodica?

Re: “Takeout Tipping”
@zak: AMEN AMEN AMEN. i'm not a server. i've never been a server. but unless you're an asshole tipping for takeout should be a no-brainer. we tip 15-25% always, dine-in or take-out. and we're poor mother fuckers.
Re: “Hey. What's The Idaho Stop Law?”
I've spent a lot of time in Boise. Downtown Boise is nearly void of bikers. Closer to BSU, naturally, more people riding bikes. Obviously I didn't mean there are zero people riding bikes in Boise/Idaho. But as the imaginary second largest city in an imaginary Oregon, I'd venture a guess that imaginary Boise would be far far far below the #2 largest cycling city in imaginary Oregon.
Re: “Hey. What's The Idaho Stop Law?”
Last weekend walking through our N. Portland neighborhood we approached a four way stop. No cars in sight but a biker 20 or so feet away, coming from our left. We assumed(!) the biker would stop at the clearly marked stop sign and that as pedestrians, the coast was clear to cross the street. We started crossing, took two steps and heard the biker yell, "WATCH YOURSELF ... WATCH YOURSELF!!" He blew the stop sign and swerved around us. He had plenty of time to stop but selfishly chose not to. It's this type of biker that makes me think a stop sign = yield sign is a horrible plan for Portland.
@ econoline: I've lived in Idaho. Nobody rides bikes. Because nobody rides bikes, your stats mean nothing in the context of a major bike-riding city considering such a law.
