Number 5 won me over immediately.

(And I must admit to owning a Powell's snowglobe.)

Because it's only a few hours away from Seattle.

OK, it's settled. You should move to Portland because Portland is awesome.

No, no. you should all move to New York City to be in me & the Wino's harem. Stop resisting.

Seattle proximity is surely a top priority for you, mudpuppie. Right? RIGHT?

You could be part of the cross-border Seattle-Portland meetup corridor. What's better than that?

Anyone who wants to pony up moving expenses is more than welcome to.

Powell's started in Chicago. The Portland store is fun, but hardly worth relocation, speaking from well over a decade in that vicinity.

Reasons why 'pup should stay just where she is thank you very much: ME, damn it.

Been there, done that, sam.

Also, I should probably tell y'all that I am really fucking full of myself right now. Thanks, peeps. You're swell.

posted by mudpuppie 19 December | 01:08

Maybe just send 'pup the Portland T-Shirt and call it good?

I think all of you should move to Florida.

Portland is actually a pretty nifty town. Such a great place, other towns have been named for it.

You should move to Portland because it is where The Glory resides.
