Portland at 3 am—it's eerie, and very different from the world most people experience by day. While the readers (and writers) of all other "Best of" issues are snuggled up in bed, dreaming of slurping their next Mochaccino from Starbucks, the Mercury is OUT ON THE TOWN, exploring and experiencing this bizarre alternate reality. What's open at 3 am? Who goes out at that hour? What in the world are they doing? And most importantly, do they want to have sex with us? These questions are asked and answered in this year's "Best of 3 am" Issue. Portland's a mysterious, fun, and creepy place at 3 am—so set your alarm, and join us for a tour of a Portland you've never been awake to see. What are ya... SCARED??
