Rock Band
So... am I the only person on here who doesn't like the game Rock Band? Particularly, I find the, ahem, "drum" part to be seriously annoying.

As some of you may know I am a jewelry maker and I would like to offer up custom design services this week. I also have some jewelry ready-made and available through my website, Tiny Forge Design. All of my jewelry is handmade and sterling silver. If you're looking for a Valentine's day gift that is unique and beautiful, but won't cost an arm and a leg, please talk to me!

Doc referral
Does anyone have any input on Dr. Robin Barrett at the Northwest Women's Clinic? I'm looking for a new OBGYN. Please email me privately (at the email listed on my profile), as I do not wish to start a flame war. Thanks so much! Peace, Becky

Steel Planters
My dad is coming through town today and his girlfriend wants to buy some steel planters.

Google turned up nothing.

Anybody have any idea of a store that might have some?

He didn't specify a size.

How Do You Lean?
So my parents called me up and asked about the upcoming caucus/primary that's happening in Washington this Saturday and wanted to know how the state was going to vote.  Were Washingtonians leaning towards Hilary or Obama?  Are they more for McCain, Romney, or Huckabee?  I personally haven't heard or read anything considering preliminary polls that asked these questions.  Can anyone direct me to some sources where I can get more info on the matter.  Also, how is Oregon going to vote?  Any early word on that as well?  It seems that this year the NW will help decide who gets the nomination which is cool since in the past it really did seem like it didn't matter.

DO. NOT. PANIC.
Did you live here in 1996? If not, ask someone who did what was special about 1996.

Conditions are similar this year to what they were like then. A very large snow pack in the Willamette valley basin (190% of average), then heavy rains and above freezing temperatures. Rain water and snow melt need some place to go, so we get flooding.

Don't be an idiot, don't buy the stores out of bread and milk. But be sure your emergency earthquake/disaster kit is up to date and have a plan for some place to go if your home or you are in danger.

Yurt rentals

Does anyone know if there are places that rent yurts on a monthly or yearly basis? Or does someone have a yurt they aren't using that they'd like to rent me?

I'm exploring inexpensive housing options and have always liked the idea of living in a yurt. Unfortunately, I don't have any land to put one on, or I'd just get my own.

Thanks!

Les Claypool
This is kind of a shot in the dark, but here it goes:

I'm relocating to Portland in late June or early July. But, I'm coming to visit (along with my three future roommates) to talk to potential employers/check out neighborhoods.

I'll be there from the 11th of March (Tuesday) until the 16th (Sunday.) While I'm there, Les Claypool is playing at the Roseland Theatre (on the 15th). None of my future roommates are that into him, and will likely refuse to go. I'd really like to attend the show, especially since Les hasn't been touring that much (outside of playing summer festivals) and I currently live in Indiana, which is the pass-over state for most of my favorite bands.

So, my question is: are there any of you who plan on going? I wouldn't mind a friendly face or two. According to popular report, I'm relatively nice/fun. It would also be nice to meet some people with similar tastes in music before I actually move out there.

Thanks!
