I'd like to meet up with some of you Rip City (is this term still used?) Strutters around the last week of this year. Additionally, I've been to Portland once before and have only had time to peruse one or two mediocre record stores. In the words of White Sox fans: Is That All There Is?
Relax - I am not going to buy the back-room-vaulted Public Nuisance Melcher Tapes or anything - just seeking a little oasis from the family (her family) during the holiday get-together.
PM me if you wish. I love you all.

(DO they still call it Rip City? I never got that one.)
Rip City refered to the Trailblazers. Nobody refers to the Blazers these days, so please no Rip City.
When I moved here in '77 the hieght of Rip City I was long under the impression that it refered to the high rents the landlords charged.

Thanks for the PMs. anyone else?
(Snoopy & Charlie Brown, still hugging)
The Blazers had a great radio anouncer who brought a lot of phrases into the local and sometimes national lexicon. Phrases such as BINGO BANGO BONGO to describe a fast break, and RIP CITY to describe a shot that was nothing but net. His name is Bill Shonley. He is beloved by all, so Paul Allen fired him.

I heart Oregon. Wouldn't mind moving down there someday. Two Oregon raers allude me still.
West coast is the best coast.
