Robot DJ

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get around to getting on Pandora. jmargethe introduced me to the site, ages ago, but because I didn't have high-speed access at the time it wasn't really an option. Then I kind of forgot about it for awhile. I ran across the site again the other day, though, and this Music Genome Project thing is really, really working for me. It seems like I've discovered more new music over the past week than during the preceding year.

So I'm going to Portland OR to canvass for the Obama campaign, this weekend. Looks like I'm going to have some time on my hands on Saturday night, and I've never really been to Portland, before.

The people I'm driving down want to go to Voodoo Doughnut. Because I'm a book nerd, I want to at least get a look at Powell's.

But, seriously, as far as I know, those are the only places in Portland I've heard of ...
