Randy Leonard’s Blog – gets fun for a post only to go back to being boring, with nothing but links to Oregonian and KATU articles. But, damn. Check out this photo! Still utterly shocked that, after Randy’s big victory for MLS in Portland yesterday, that he doesn’t have a post featuring a huge soccer ball with “KICK ASS!!” written across it, or something like that.
I’m not sure why I expect a city commissioner’s blog to be interesting or entertaining, but come on, this is Randy! He’s the guy who brought us The Great Neon Rose!
Portland On The Road – PDX Freelance writer and event coordinator Melissa Lion is in Chicago for the BlogHer09 Conference.
Silicon Florist has a list of other Portland bloggers also in attendance at BlogHer. OurPDX co-founder and writer Dieselboi is on the road, too. According to his latest post on twitter, he’s in Kansas.
UPDATE!!!!! According to Dieselboi, he just crossed into Missouri!
Dieselboi is documenting his travels here.
The Thawed Auteur – Last week, after watching The Room (one of the greatest funny/bad movies ever made) at the In Your Water Command Center, Simplicity is Clarity writer @jarvitron wrote up this review of the film, in which he posits that auteur Tommy Wiseau is possibly an unfrozen caveman, as an explanation for Tommy’s bizarre, neurotic vision. We have to agree, he does look a bit like Hartman’s Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.
"Hello, friend. I am Tommy Wiseau."
OMG, I’m totally commenting on this during the keynote speech.

No! No! You’re “multi-tasking!!”
Thanks dude. I’m currently in MO, having put down about 680 miles today. I’m at a KC Royals game to root on my favorite all time player- George Brett!
