Spent nearly half the day checking out beautiful trails laid out across this enormous stretch of land, nearly forgetting to swing by the International Rose Test Garden on my way back. Portland's known as the "City of Roses", how could I have????
Later into the evening the Hostel was having a mini open mic in the backyard patio, where there was a variety of local folk artists strumming away their soulful tunes. All the while the staff where grilling up free-range brats and veggie burgers served with quinoa salad, even the guy with the garage brewery decided to drop by an share his days batch. A true hipsters paradise I might say. (Seriously wish I brought my camera out...)
As the last kegs started to kick, so did some of the acts, as the closing artists started drifting into free association music that nearly brought the whole house down off their chairs (inebriated musicians make for some serious entertainment).
Feeling like the evening still had some life in it, those still left hanging around the patio shuffled together for another round at the Mission Theater. Tonight's feature, early Martin Scorsese's 'Mean Streets' .
