I posted last week about my husband and I moving to Portland and got a lot of great responses. Thanks!

We got here Sunday and we've already looked at close to 25 houses all over Portland, but mainly in the SE area and north Portland. After exploring each neighborhood we really feel that SE is just more our vibe.

We found this house we like A LOT that's at SE 70th and Division. What's the opinion on this area? I know it's a little far out and the commute will suck for my husband, but we still like it. Is it a bad neighborhood, really far out or is there something else I don't know. I love the fact that the elementary has a Spanish immersion program and that we're 5 minutes from Hawthorne.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

OK, it is the morning after and I am having a hard time trying to do anything.

That was, I must say, the best concert I have ever been to and at the same time the worst. The opening act, being Skindred, was fantastic with lots of moshing and creative use of audience commands (like "Turn around! Turn the fuck around and dance! Don't look at me turn around and do NOT face the stage and get those bodies and booties movin'!").

Gogol though, was.... Egads it was great. The band was fantastic but as soon as they started to play suddenly everyone in the front half of the theatre was more sardined than they already were. I was suddenly squished and twisted and my hair was getting pulled and there was no room to do anything, nothing to see, and everyone was suddenly ELBOWS fucking EVERYWHERE! I also had a scare where I thought I broke a toe.

In the end, the toe was not broken, but I am very sore all over and my arms are about to fall off. What a great concert, I just could have done without the hair pulling and sardines.

I LOVE YOU GOGOL!!! But some of your fans are too tall, too smelly, and we were all WAY too close to each other.

Congrats to any and all survivors of that concert and I will see you at the next one!

Ok I need info

So I come to you oh wise DPers...

I can't get anyone at the Gorge amp to pick up a phone nor return an email so..I was wondering if you could answer a few questions about the PREMIER CAMPING situation for the Sasquatch festival in May:

Can you request 2 sites adjacent to one another or is it first come, first serve?
How big is the camping site?
How many tents can fit on it? Is there a tent limit?
Can we park a second car at the site?
Do we need a second parking pass for a second car?
If so, which pass would we buy?

I've been to the festival before but stayed in the field...we're moving up :)

Also feel free to leave a comment if you're going to the Squatch...spanks!

Some of you may know that this weekend is the Brides of March. i have decided that my posh opinion of myself and general ego needs a little deflating of late and felt this would be the best cure. i have succeeded in the greatest hurdle of this endeavor, finding a dress that would fit my large man-frame. the only thing left is the public humiliation and abuse to my liver (which i am worried about more).

so who here is panning on going? are you going to follow the group fairly closely or stray from the pack? i'm going with some of my lovely Rose City Roller lady-friends and i was wonder who else is up to share a little ridicule and binge drinking.

A resource of which I don't think many people know:

OPDP: Oregon Prescription Drug Program. Get a huge discount on your prescriptions.
Eligible Individuals: An Oregon resident and uninsured or under-insured for prescription drug coverage.

Used in tandem with Wellpartner (accepts most insurance [OPDP!], cuts out middleman cost by ordering directly from manufacturer vs. paying pharmacy services). My $100/mo. RX turned into $160/3mos.

Both services are free, efficient, and especially helpful to those of us who have long-term prescriptions that are costly.

...boring DP post. Ermmmm...
