    We all know their slogan is "Keep Portland Weird." What's the weirdest thing you heard or saw in Portland this weekend?

    I'll go first.

    Walking in downtown Portland: "Is that a GOAT?!"

    It was, indeed, a goat.

    The woman walking next to me actually asked the guy, in all seriousness, if he brought the goat in on the MAX train. :-O

    Ah yes, me too. I was also one of those few unfortunate souls who had to stay at that lovely hotel! We need to start a support group for those who stayed at the Inn. ;)

    I understand that in Portland "There ain't no party like an S Club Party" and I think Wendy can second that...

    I was heading downtown on Sunday morning and a kid on the MAX train let off a stink bomb. I didn't know they still made those.

    After breakfast at Denny's on Sunday, went for a walk, (to clear my head), past the Rose Garden Center and got invited to go inside and take part in the JW Regional Convention!

    Living in the Commercial Drive area, nothing phases me anymore in terms of weirdness, because the "Drive" is just the weirdest place, hands down.

    The 25 seconds it took me to process that statement. And the enjoyment it gave me for the 5 minutes afterwards.

    I love your Carl Valentine impression when we thought their bus had jumped the border "This is Carl Valentine for the Whitecaps and I'm going to Jail"

    I was headed back from the match and saw Tom Soehn carrying a paper bag which I assume was take-out until he appeared to enter a nightclub. Not that you can't bring take-out into a club whe you're a big shot like him, but it seemed odd. He gave the doorman a big hug like they were old pals. (And no, the doorman was not Jonathan Leathers).

    Those guys were hilarious. Didn't see them in the stands, but they were posing for multiple photographers in the plaza outside the main gate.

    Forgot about this. When I was walking to the reserves match, a homeless guy on skateboard shouted at me "Your team SUCKS AND IS GOING TO LOSE!" As I was wearing a Cascadia scarf and no Whitecaps logo, I asked which team was mine and he muttered "Those tree fuckin' assholes."

    I was amused by the mental image of Timbers fans humping the tree rounds.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about the guy behind me who was part of the bachelor party and was having women sign his clothing and body with a Sharpie marker. I signed his bicep.

    One day, tree fucking may be acceptable and therefore we should not use this chant.
