Sometimes someone is born in 1994 and then I am like woah dude I feel old. Camping at Sasquatch is basically out in an open pasture type situation. It is in a tundra so there are no trees, just scrub brush and sky. Just make sure to bring enough water and food, sunscreen, and a canopy or tarp if you have one for cover. It can be crazy in District 9 (general camping) but I love it. I love walking around and talking to people and having larfs. It can get really loud at night depending on where you are so some people like to bring ear plugs. I personally hate ear plugs but I never have trouble sleeping at Sasquatch. By the end of the day I am so assed out it is easy. The gorge is the most beautiful place you will ever see, so I highly recommend it. Well, people born in 1984 make me feel old but screw it, only as old as you feel or some stupid cliché like that.

What does a cytotechnologist do?

What does a cytotechnologist do? Simple answer is sit and stare in a microscope all day. It's a part of pathology, looking at cells for cancerous changes. Extremely monotonous but great if you like music because you just put your headphones on and look at slides. Boring after a bit but it pays the bills.
Love the Avatar; my wife was the one who threw a bra at him at Sasquatch in 2013. There's a write up somewhere on the internet where it's mentioned. It's her legacy.

That's amazing! My legacy is having had a picture of my giant Steve Brule head that I brought to Sasquatch 2014 sent to John C. Reily on his birthday by some random guy who spotted me with it. Good times with the Doctor.

Good times with the Doctor. Yeah, Reilly was pretty funny about it too. Just looked back, raised an eyebrow and gave a little smirk. Obviously the last thing he was expecting with the set he was playing. She was drunk enough to do it, but sober enough to remember.

I was so excited about making it (made it the morning we were leaving for the Gorge) that I forgot my entire bag with everything I needed for the weekend on my table. But at least I had Brule.

Figured it might get a reaction or two at some point... You can change it but will still be flying a Timbers and Cascadia flag at our campsite.... Premiere because I'm too damn old for District 9!

LOL, just messing around. No one is going to change your avatar, or they will face Obi Wan's wrath. Besides, I'm a Caps fan.

I love the Portland/Seattle/Vancouver rivalry... Can't stand the people who take it as anything more serious than a fun rivalry though and actually get upset about it or fight over a damn sport.

You guys absolutely deserved the cup this year. I hope to god the Sounders organization was humiliated by it. I'm pretty tired of them continually throwing money at the wall to see what sticks.

They played beautifully at the right time... Of course a bit of help from two goal posts against KC didn't hurt either. Was good to see a team I like win something since I've spent far too many years being frustrated by the Canucks when it comes to hockey.
