Happy Friday! I hope everyone enjoys their last precious drive on southbound I-5 today. Maybe take it slow, look around, really soak it all in. You two have been through a lot together.

I’m personally choosing not to think about what getting around Portland is going to look like for a while lol. Instead, let’s start with something better: a giveaway! Enter to win tickets to see Floater at the Crystal Ballroom on Friday, Oct. 30th.
