Auto Show

Last weekend we went to the Portland Auto Show. We had such a fun time last year, we knew we had to go again. We invited our friends Brooke and Marc to come along this year and we had a blast checking out all the cars

It usually ends up being a night of seeing what cars Jeff can comfortably fit in. You would be surprised at how many cars are not built for tall guys.

I can't remember what car this one is, but Jeff seems to be pretty comfortable.



This one is a BMW 7 series. I've always loved BMWs, there is just something about that car. I could definitely get used to driving this.

Kind of a blurry picture of Jeff, I really need to work on taking pictures with my iPhone, It seems like they are always blurry.


Brooke and Marc


Yay, another car that seems to work.

Fashion's Night Out in Portland


Fashion's Night Out originated in New York City last year and it was such a success that Anna Wintour of Vogue wanted to make this year's party international. I was so excited to hear that Portland was participating. Last Friday, I headed downtown right after work to check it out. I really enjoyed going to all the different stores. Banana Republic had live models in their stores and were offering light refreshments. Nordstrom was serving delicious mocktails and had a DJ playing music. Seth Aaron, the Project Runway winner from last season, who is also from the Portland area, was at Macy's. He was doing a little presentation and mostly taking questions from the audience. I only stayed and listened to him for about 20 minutes. I wanted to see what else was going on. There was supposed to be a fashion show in Directors Park, but I must have missed it or it happened later, but I never did get to see that. All in all it was a fun night. Maybe next year I'll have to go to NYC, I heard it was quite the party.
