Down to Portland

This weekend I'm heading back down to the Rose City. Last year at this time when I went down there Portland got an MLS team.

I wonder what will happen this year?

Here are a few things I hope to see in that great city of Portland:

• Someone giving out "free hugs"


• A giant rubber duck


• A hippie bathing in a fountain


• Oregon Duck fans making fun of Oregon State Beaver fans


• A bum sleeping on the MAX


• The Saturday Market


• A submarine


• Penguins


• Elvis


• A bicyclist wearing a poncho


• The guy who pretends to be a statue

Should be a great trip. I'll report in when I make it back.
