Eugenio!

Ah what a weekend...  My wonderful wife and I decided to take a little overnight trip to the People's Socialist Republic of Eugene, and what a trip it was.  I have spent years trying to convince Ashley that Eugene is a great place to visit and maybe even live...I have stopped trying.

Read the fine print on the sign...Then look at the paper bag.  Common Eugene occurrence.

Eugene is in fact the weirdest place on Earth.  A city whose per capita population of sorcerers, hippies, elves, environmentalists, stoners, super stoners, and nudists is higher than anywhere else on the planet.  That being said, I still love Eugene.  Aside from being the home of my favorite team, Eugene provides me with constant entertainment.  I love being around weirdos, and I love to interact with them even more.  Hence, I never have a dull time being in this little town.

Now, to the real reason for our excursion.  My dearest friend Gregory was playing his first show with a full band.  August Light, which consists of Greg, his buddy Nate, and a couple other guys I have never met, performed the midnight show at the Oak Street Speakeasy.  While it was late, they rocked the house.  Playing what I would call a mix of Pop, John Mayer, Jazz, and Hip Hop, August Light did not disappoint me or the rest of their fans.  Check them out on Facebook here, and when they make it big I will take the credit for being there in the beginning.

Back to Eugene.  I thank you for my time spent in your embrace.  I probably will not see you again until the fall, and that is ok.  Your weirdness and peculiar aura has seeped into my soul, and I think I have enough to last me through the summer.
