MAGIC
a glass of framboise lambic (aka unicorn tears!) at savoy on portland’s east side. the food was absolutely wonderful. thank you amaya & casey. later i had my favorite seasonal beer, pyramid’s snow cap, on tap at the horse brass. i think maybe the last time i had drinks in that particular bar was 2004. i was hanging out w/my editor at willamette week & a touring band from minneapolis… we all got blind drunk & stumbled back to a nearby house, where we gathered around a fire w/electric instruments plugged into amps powered by long extension cords. then i led everyone in a loud, sloppy rendition of g.harrison’s “here comes the sun” at 2 in the morning. not an unusual night in stumptown during my twenty-third year. no matter. nobody calls the cops for such things during summer in that part of portland.
