I’d been looking forward to seeing The Sprockettes, the all-girl mini bike dance troupe from Portland, since I found out they were booked for this show back in October. Sadly they bailed, afraid that freezing rain on the overpass would keep them stuck in Bend.

Video From Today’s Cyclocross Nationals Action
Video from the first day of Cyclocross action in Bend, Oregon.
We just got back from the Old Mill District, which has been taken over by the USA Cyclocross National Championships. The course is still largely covered with snow, but it’s warming up just enough to get a bit muddy — which is actually good for a cross race.

The Dirty Words Want You in Their Music Video
Bend’s own indie rock band, The Dirty Words, want you in the music video for “Damn Jacket.”

Civil War Tailgating Video
Some funny video of Ducks and Beavers tailgating.
Those who’ve attended either University of Oregon or Oregon State University games know that for some folks, the activity outside the stadium is more important than the game itself. Of course, we’re talking about the age-old activity known as tailgating, during which fans grill up some food, get pumped for the game, but mainly see how much booze they can swill before kickoff.
