You might remember my post from a couple months ago that contained perhaps the most intense music video I’ve ever seen. Well, Minneapolis group Aaron & The Sea are back with a new video for their single “There There Creature Creature”.
Visit Bend leaders have declined a request from Deschutes County Commissioner Tammy Baney to sit down with Central Oregon Visitors Association for a one-on-one meeting between the organizations.
Baney, who is also a board member of COVA, hoped to bring leaders of the groups together at a sort of tourism summit on June 5 to discuss what appeared to be a degree of conflict over coordination, redundant efforts and tourism industry funding that’s come to a head in recent months, according to Baney and other sources.
Dude with Cascadia Forest Defenders climbed 80 feet up a flagpole outside the Capitol building in Salem today, hung a banner and camped out for about an hour and a half.
Perry Thompson Graham, 23, from Eugene, was promptly arrested by Oregon State Police after descending the pole voluntarily.
Good day to be an American.

Last year, when Chris Telfer locked horns with the most powerful lobbyist in the state, political insiders in Salem thought it would blow over. After all, the issues at stake weren't life or death. The dust up was, in fact, over something as silly sounding as a hookah bill.
But what appeared to be just a run of the mill “heat of battle” scuffle has shaped one of the most interesting and unlikely races the region has seen in years – a pitched Republican primary for the District 27 senate seat that represents Deschutes County in Salem.
The story would be interesting enough if Telfer's run-in with lobbyist Mark Nelson had simply cost her his financial support, and it most certainly has – he's thrown his weight behind Tim Knopp, Telfer's challenger and helped funnel stacks of cash into his coffers.

Whoa, that’s a lot of pot.
Still, we feel for Brandon James Manger, 23, who was caught with it all in his SUV last night just north of Klamath Falls by Oregon State Police.
So, last week we threw up that blog about police potentially cutting back critical services if the department didn’t get more money. Read it here.
A controversial logging project along the McKenzie River faces a potential lawsuit from a trio of Oregon-based environmental groups.
The so-called Goose project on the Willamette National Forest will adversely impact endangered species habitat and unnecessarily targets old growth trees along the McKenize River in addition to expanding logging operations into the Lookout Mountain area, a potential wilderness, according to Doug Heiken of Oregon Wild, which joined Cascadia Wildlands and the Western Environmental Law Center in opposition to the 2,100-acre logging project near the small community of McKenzie Bridge.
That wasn’t necessarily the gist of the Times Seattle bureau chief William Yardley’s feature story on Bend’s booming beer business, but he did use the “B” word to describe bend’s craft brewing and he wasn’t talking about the creamy foam head. The article was the second in just a few weeks in the Times that spotlights the local beer boom.
