Visiting Portland, OR

[bjarvis]

kent4str and I will be flying out to Portland, OR, to visit his clan for a few days before heading to the IAGSDC convention in Anaheim on Sunday.  Anything/anyone in particular we should see in Portland?  Our plans are relatively unclear at the moment as we're at the mercy of his family...  :-)

I recommend Old Wives' Tales for a nice meal. Despite the organic/vegan label, OWT has great food, and a wicked good soup bar. I never visit Portland without having at least one bowl of OWT's famous Hungarian Mushroom Soup:

And of course ... there's Powell's City Of Books, which is my favorite bookstore in North America. New and used titles are filed side by side, so it's easy to find stuff. If you've never been there ... the store takes up a full city block. And I'm not kidding. Heaven on earth for a voracious reader!
