Some random thoughts and plugs before we head to the urban stronghold known as Vernonia for the weekend.

1. Tragedy: An All Metal Tribute to the Bee-Gees

It’s exactly what it you would think it sounds like, and it’s every bit as awesome you want it to be. Combine all the best parts of AC/DC, Dio and Black Sabbath, throw in some gold chains and jumpsuits, and there you go! I’ve been listening to them for a few weeks now and I can’t stop. Get their music on iTunes.

2. Portland to bid for an MLS team.

As members of the Timbers Army, we would love to see Portland get a 2nd pro sports team. We’re not big enough to support NFL. Baseball is years away. Hockey can’t draw flies. And Portland just happens to be a soccer town. I’d call it destiny. Timbers owner Merritt Paulson announced today that he is submitting a bid for one of two MLS expansion teams to begin in 2011. Hopefully the community will come together and show MLS that Portland is exactly what they need.

3. Oregon Brewers Festival recap

It was PACKED!! I only made it to the South Tent this year. Missed out on a lot of good beer. I volunteered as a pourer on Saturday, and determined that this was no place to be while sober. Add about 10K drunken frat boys (with no interest in the beer, only its effects) to the mix and I was miserable.
