    I actually saw the bus outside a restaurant I was eating at in Eugene. I looked around for Ken Kesey and found him. Told him I was another famous person who came from Spingfield High School. I had just done Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway (i.e. not that famous). He was very nice. Eugene-Springfield rules!

    I suppose if Mike Rice Jr. attending sensitivity training is worthy of the Blazer board, then this one is too. :dunno:

    Portland is listed as #5. Picture of Bill Walton. Does that make it more on topic?

    As long as it has to do with Oregon and/or LGBT, it seems solid.

    I was born in Cottage Grove and lived my childhood in Eugene. It is always been hippie central for Oregon. Ashland is yuppie central.

    Ever since they shut the paper mill in Albany down, I can smell the hippies in Eugene...
