Negroes With Indian/Pakistani Attitude?

Just had one of the best burgers ever at Yakuza in Portland.
Chevre, Shoestring Potatoes, Catsup, Spicy Mayo
Looks good. I just went to some place called Noble Rot on Burnside. Their food was alright, but wow are their drinks overpriced. I guess they feel they can charge a ridiculous amount because of their incredible view of downtown from the East side. Worth checking, but too expensive in my opinion!

We should do a meet one of these upcoming weekends (I just assume weekends are best for most folks.)

Man, good call. You know who has an incredibly good burger? Lardo. That double burger is fantastic and well priced. I cannot recommend it enough.

Nope and nope, never been to either of those places. I've heard of Brunch Box, but not Lardo. I'm not a big burger connoisseur or anything. I usually just got to Red Robin, haha. Unlimited fries! But I'm definitely down to try out some more of the local options for my cholesterol fix.
Also, if we opt for a bar, I vote the Bye & Bye. I saw Devo mention it last page, and it's one of the few bars in Portland I like. The vibe there can be pretty pretentious at times, but more often it's relaxed and mellow, which I appreciate.

So when are we doing this devils deal and all meeting up? No solid plans? HAS EVERYONE GOTTEN LAZY! 
Congrats!
I've already had one callback, with a Skype interview and another callback scheduled for tomorrow, just from applications sent Monday. Could be a good sign of my chances. One upside of the time difference, I can do things after work and it's still mid-afternoon there, convenient for everyone.
Also, I shifted my schedule, so March 7th will be my big visiting day. I know Thursdays aren't best for meeting everyone, but it worked better for logistics. And airfare.
(I also discovered that Portland is 2,155 miles from my hometown, as the crow flies. Furthest I've ever gone is Orlando, 925 miles. Really says something about scale and how far I'm moving and all that.)
Hehe nothing says hipster like booze from a mason jar. Although it's still a step up from a Tupperware sippy cup.
LOL kool aid out the mason jar is the shit. We been doing that shit for forever down here in the south.

Yeah I didn't think drinking things out of a fucking jar was hipster since I've had the same thing at Caribbean places but what do I know. Everything is hipster now.

There's a bottleshop/bar in Seattle that serves everything mason jars. I had a smoked sour beer in a mason jar. Totally ironic.
EVERYTHING is hipster here in Portland. I just took out my trash and recycling tonight, but it is only trash collection every other week, and recycling every week!!!! Ohmygawd!

Recycling is every other week in Seattle. Drives me nuts.
They're talking about moving to garbage pick up every other week, which would be fine, as long as they lower our bill. But I doubt it.
Not lying, on the ride in today the girl sitting next to me on tri-met was drinking out of a mason jar WITH a sippy cup lid attached. I thought instantly of your post. Apparently... they are a thing.

What the crap. The appeal of drinking out of a mason jar is the fact that it's glass that you can close and carry around in a bag. If I wanted to drink out of plastic, why not just have a freakin' plastic water bottle?
And yes, I am aware there are glass canteens. However, blowing 20+ on a fancy glass bottle is silly when you can get a case of replaceable jars that do the same thing.

Had a few already but I don't see why we can't do another soon.
But OMG it is so annoying having to unscrew the lid every time I want a drink of my goddamn hipster moonshine (kombucha, duh)!?, they said.

God's had his chance.
Rock and roll.... my backyard gets it's own OT. Head up to Portland at least a few times a month to see my sister and some friends that moved from Salem (where i'm at) a few years ago.
I expect many a Rogue Brewery, McMenamins, drugs and so on and so forth.
shout out to Portland City Grill... best fuckin steak/calamari combo dinner I've ever had in my entire life.

Not like there are a million other drink containers you have to unscrew to drink out of or anything... My homemade kombucha does just fine in mason jars, thank you very much.
Oh, and they prolly shouldn't be opening anything with liquid in it on the goddamn stop-at-every-fucking-light-this-morning MAX train anyway. That is a recipe for a long day of wearing coffee/tea/kombucha pants, haha

It's good! If you make it right.
Candeldandel

Yep! It can take a while, but it's actually quite awesome. You can put whatever you want in it! But, of course, you have to like kombucha in the first place...
Only if you want the worst service in Oregon. I swear they will not hire competent servers.

Their fries are worse than their service, in my opinion. At least they have tots to pick up the awful, awful slack.
That stuff looks super fancy... I'm curious now
In general, it's a little weird at first, but it's very refreshing and different. I mean, y'won't know 'til you try it!I want my goddamn tater tots and Ruby Ale right now!
So I have been meaning to ask in here, has anyone been to Kalé? I have been meaning to try it out and have heard a few good things. Site is here - Kalé PDX
Japanese Curry. Simple. I want to go before it warms up a bit more, seems like the perfect 'winter' food.
Fine! I will stop at the bottle shop on my way home. I will report back!

I recommend GT's Gingerberry flavor for folks who are new to kombucha. It's pretty mild.
So jumping right into a 1.5% bottle is not a great plan? Ha. I figured deep end. Though I am sure that whether it is .5 or 1.5 there is still plenty of variance in taste. I don't think they carry any other Kombucha, being a beer/bottle shop but I will look for that next time I am somewhere that does.
That totally sounds like it'd be a thing.
(Especially since coffee tights are a thing.)
I am just all over in this topic today, but I have also been meaning to ask, is anyone planning on going to Wizard World Portland this month? Just got our tickets.
EDIT: Oh man. Ok so this Kookoolan Kombucha business is... I was just not expecting it to be so sweet. Very very little vinegar taste. I was expecting a much more sour taste. I like it! But it is actually kind of disappointing that it is so sweet. I will have to try the GT Gingerberry, although the Gingerade sounds even better.

Townshend's Spiced Apple Kava is some of my favorite kombucha.
I'm curious about the kind you tried; I'ma have to look for it now!

I'm definitely going. I've been going up to Seattle every year, just to check out the Emerald City Comic Con, so I'm excited to be able to go to one here finally. Google Offers is having a deal right now https://www.google.com/offers/ppo/SELF/X69YAZJ3I5ZNZV7K
Oh nice! That deal looks like it is for Sunday? I am going to pass that on to a friend of mine that is on the fence because of price. It would suck to not be able to go with him (daughter and myself are going Saturday) but if this sways him enough so that he still goes... success.
Going to be crazy, should be a lot of fun. Just not for my wallet =(
EDIT: Oh nice, I read further. So that is essentially a mini-VIP ticket. You get the early access (30 minutes) and a few of the lithographs. Very nice.

We did. Us and Alamo Drafthouse. The following week it was Bagdad & Clinton Street. the following week it was basically every other theater in the country that had been doing it.
Basically, your best bet is hitting up a bar w/ a projection screen and asking if they'll put it on. I think Tanker still shows episodes. I dunno if Backstage at the Bagdad will do it, but I bet if you ask, they will.
