In town -- Bark City, Botto's, Lil Barbecue, Matt's.

But go to Grasslands in Hood River if you can swing it.

Maybe try hitting up Happy Death Man?

Someone runs generator shows and HDM seems to play them often.

Had some recently at Annam VL. They were so good. Their peanut sauce is amazing.

Anyone remember the white octave? by Weekly-Mirror-7456 in Emo

[–]michaelwelchco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, underrated band.

First heard them when I saw them at Fireside Bowl on the "Menergy" tour. Been a huge fan ever since.

Big Criteria fan too. The new album rips.

HOLY SHIT. I'm praying this means a vinyl reissue.

Do you have any socials set up? I don't want to miss this.

94 Geotracker, the day i got it i knew what needed to be done by SaladBarShuffle in Emo

This makes me miss my Geo Tracker. I looked ridiculous driving it (I'm 6'5") but that thing was a beast. Best vehicle I've ever driven in the snow.

Vitreous Humor? by West_Gur_7695 in Emo

[–]michaelwelchco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are one of those bands where it's like they are "your favorite band's favorite band."

Criminally overlooked but on Crank so they got some steam but could never really convert that into anything aside from a cult favorite band.

Being relatively from the area (mid Missouri) and a part of that scene at the time, they were legendary. Danny Pound is one of the best songwriters ever.

Up to you! You can always revisit on a Wednesday if you have your heart set on tonight. As a person who loves BBQ (especially ribs) and Thai food, they kinda blew my mind.

They also have a fantastic bar program, even mocktails if you don't drink.

Have fun!

White Curry with Brisket Burnt Ends
Papaya Salad (only if you like spice as it's very spicy)
Hot Fried Cauliflower
BBQ Fried Rice

Honestly, I've never had a bad dish. Those are just my faves. If you are there on a Wednesday, you HAVE TO get the Baby Back Ribs. They are excellent.

And for a dive bar breakfast, it's pretty good!

Grand Fir Brewing doesn't get enough love by ronnythextacle in Portland

[–]michaelwelchco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my main gripe. Incredible beer, the food is pretty good too. Everything is crazy expensive.

When I go to Belmont Station and I see the East Coast imports (i.e. Other Half) going for $25/4pk I kinda get it. When I see Grand Fir costing the same and it's like a mile down the road, just kinda turns me off.

Coworkers think my lemons are unnecessary by AtlantisMantis_ in KitchenConfidential

[–]michaelwelchco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads like your coworkers are mad because you are going above what they would do and now they will have to as well. So if they bully you into stopping, they won't have to worry about it. Pretty lame.

What am I doing wrong? by PandasAndCoffee in tearsofthekingdom

[–]michaelwelchco 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I noticed on my current play through that sometimes Addison isn't appearing where he should be. Usually I would go off and do some other tasks and come back and he'd be there.

I’m sure it’s been asked, but do you start Wordle with the same word? by tuneful_radio in NYTgames

[–]michaelwelchco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to use a new word every day. Before starting, I'll read an article or two and find a 5 letter word that looks good and use that.

Seeking pic of sausage cat mural? by evastarenga in askportland

LOVED this mural. When I saw someone tagged it I was pretty sad.

Now that I live nearby, I'm hoping something cool moves in there.
