Sep 23, 2008The Adventures of Pirate Bendy
It turned out to be a good thing that I've been a bit of a lazy pirate and not posted anything for . . . oh, A MONTH!
Tucked away on the east side of Portland on Stark Street you will find a small strip of businesses. One of the buildings occupying this block is a split level bar known as the Goodfoot (a James Brown reference no doubt). Upstairs you find a pool hall with classic pinball machines in the corner. After 8pm each evening the downstairs will open all days of the week, hosting local musical acts in a basement atmosphere, where the candlelight dances on the tables and the blue-lit bar serves drinks throughout the performances.
For me, Portland is a city of transformation. Bars with music acts alone are all well and good, but the unique aspect of the Goodfoot is its Last Thursdays, where local artists display their works around the red felt tables that stand on hardwood floors once the domain of an old Freemason Lodge. Still today the faint markings of the t-cross and sextant can be seen on these floors, the symbol of the Masons.

May 25, 2007This Space for Rent
In the meantime my emergency backup photographer from the Hood to Coast team managed to get a couple of pictures after my primary photographer inadvertently used up the camera batteries filming a movie of the inside of his duffle bag.
Sorry - I'm not going to post that movie - watch for it on You Tube though, it's sure to be a hit.
So - back to the pictures from my emergency backup photographer.
First of all the team is very thankful that he runs faster than he posts pictures, but grateful for the pictures nontheless.
