			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you read wikipedia as much as I do, you&#8217;ll know that the tallest tree ever to exist was not a Giant Sequoia, but rather a Douglas-Fir.   After dinner, Phaux pointed us towards this arboronymous bar, in the Jupiter Hotel, which is also a semi-legendary music venue.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-37.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1987" title="day_09-37" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-37-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-37" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Shortly after arriving, three blondes from Seattle engaged us.  Cathleen and Kelsey are pictured below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-38.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1988" title="day_09-38" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-38-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-38" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Kelsey wanted to look tough, but I explained to her that the back-of-arm-jiggly stuff was not intimidating.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-39.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1989" title="day_09-39" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-39-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-39" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Of course, hilarity ensues.  But not before I point out her little pea-sized head.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-40.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1990" title="day_09-40" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-40-332x500.jpg" alt="day_09-40" width="332" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>We retreated to the warm fire outside &#8230; where we met a musician who was actually rejected from playing at the Hotel Utah.  We will not be mentioning any names here, as she is not worthy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-41.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1991" title="day_09-41" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-41-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-41" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Phaux snaps some shots of the lovely interior &#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-42.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1994" title="day_09-42" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-42-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-42" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-43.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1996" title="day_09-43" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-43-332x500.jpg" alt="day_09-43" width="332" height="500" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-44.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1997" title="day_09-44" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-44-332x500.jpg" alt="day_09-44" width="332" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>There I am below on the right.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-45.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1998" title="day_09-45" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-45-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-45" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>These girls were obnoxiously not funny or interesting, although they were cute.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-46.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1999" title="day_09-46" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-46-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-46" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Okay, now that we have all the blondes in the picture below, I&#8217;ll explain &#8230; Shelly (the way too fake-and-bake on the far left) was on her way up to Vancouver.  At the border, the Canadian Border Patrol / RCMP denied Shelly access to their wonderful country.  She claimed it was because she had been convicted of a DUI a couple years prior.  Her friends told me that it was because she exceeded the Canadian limits on peroxide and bronzer.  Anyway, they decided to go to Portland instead and have a &#8220;Fuck Canada&#8221; party.  Then walks in this poor soul with a Canada t-shirt, who proceeded to get molested by the girls.  I guess they really did want to fuck Canada.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-47.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2000" title="day_09-47" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-47-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-47" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>The hipster shows her ink.  Babe, if you don&#8217;t do some toning exercises, in a few years, that guy is going to be tall and fat.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-48.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2001" title="day_09-48" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-48-332x500.jpg" alt="day_09-48" width="332" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Notice the ghostly paleness of the crowd here.  Portland gets approximately 4 days of sun each year, and residents are advised to stay indoors. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-49.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2002" title="day_09-49" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-49-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-49" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>We like cleavage.  Everyone in our corner of the bar was staring at this girl&#8217;s tata&#8217;s &#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-50.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2003" title="day_09-50" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-50-384x500.jpg" alt="day_09-50" width="384" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Why I wore these retardo glasses, I&#8217;m not sure. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-51.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2004" title="day_09-51" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-51-332x500.jpg" alt="day_09-51" width="332" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Phaux takes a picture of the girl taking a picture &#8230; he says he loves the natural light, but I think he was going for an upskirt shot.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 26px;"><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-52.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2005" title="day_09-52" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-52-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-52" width="500" height="332" /></a></span></p>
<p>We played throw the butt in the ashtray &#8230; it took me two tries.   Soy el campion del mundo!!!!!!!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-53.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2006" title="day_09-53" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-53-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-53" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Sisters: </p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-54.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2007" title="day_09-54" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-54-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-54" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Me trying to perform ear-o-lingus.  It didn&#8217;t work.   But I got thrush in my ear.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-55.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2008" title="day_09-55" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-55-332x500.jpg" alt="day_09-55" width="332" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Acrylic moose head.  &#8217;Nuff said.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-56.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2009" title="day_09-56" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-56-332x500.jpg" alt="day_09-56" width="332" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>More bar shots to close this out &#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-57.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2010" title="day_09-57" src="http://www.lifeisaroadtrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/day_09-57-500x332.jpg" alt="day_09-57" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
