Cousin connection in Portland

Madelin was in Portland a couple of weekends ago checking out Lewis and Clark College. In between her music audition and campus tour we had a fabulous time taking in the best of P-Town together. We're quite versatile young ladies... Dining on upscale cajun Mac 'n Cheese one night, homemade nachos the next... A little bit of hiking on a sunny afternoon, sipping Stumptown coffee and Jamaican lemonade... Checking out rock shows, oh and just a touch of shopping :) I'm pulling for another family member moving to Oregon, but we'll have to see :)



While she was in town we checked out two music shows. The first was Kimya Dawson (who has a few songs on the Juno soundtrack) at Music Millennium in southeast Portland.



We also saw San Diego-based indie band, Pinback at the Wonder Ballroom.



Deder even torn away from writing his thesis to have dinner with us Saturday night, and hike up Powell Butte Sunday morning before returning to Eugene to put the finishing touches on his paper: Mosquitoes say Global Warming is Real*
(*Actual title of paper something way more complicated)
