Notes and photos from nearly two weeks on the road.
Day Seven—Portland, Oregon
The first day of college visits, we stop at Portland State and University of Oregon – Portland for Fish to get a feel for possible graduate school options. I tag along and wander across the river.
another delicious breakfast served up @ Ryan’s. he’s like a talented Top Chef.
10a: to Portland State. great campus. stop @ Broadway Coffee for a white chocolate mocha.
12p Fish & Ryan meet w/ the dean of architecture. I sketch the idea for an X-mas gift.
1.30p head over Burnside bridge to see if Draplin Design Co is open. Fish visits U of O. thanks, U of O assistant, for the map.
2p meet Aaron Draplin, get some free stuff. Awesome dude.
have a stop-in to see some reviews. Architecture is rough. sort of.
@ Rogue brewery is delicious. maybe will hit the full size version on the coast.
While Fish learned about U of O – Portland, I walked across the Burnside Bridge and visited Draplin Design Co. I had met Aaron Draplin earlier in the month so I thought I’d see if he was around the studio.
He was welcoming despite being on his way downstairs for some lunch. He showed me around the office, pointing out some of his drawers filled with collected debri, and handed me some free magazines, notebooks and pens.
We went to Rogue Brewery for drinks after sitting in on some architecture reviews.
back to the house. watching youtube. Gay Pimp is sooooo entertaining. learning about new music and hilarious. thanks, Google, for the magic
We spent probably four hours on various parts of YouTube and other sites listening to music and watching videos. Don’t judge—you’ve probably had similar evenings.
