We love Portland!

Kristin and I piled in to my car and drove down to Portland for the best 24 ish hours we have had!
We had two missions: Go to the SLAG pdx benefit that Jessie the PDX Coordinator put together with her crew. They raised close to $1000! Yeah!

Big ups to: the Egyptian Room + Staff, bands: Ms. Led, Saucy Yoda, and thats what she said, biz that donated raffle prizes, and for all of you all that came out to dance and buy raffles!

The other mission was to skate and do some filmage.

After a long night of living it up, we woke up to skate. Our travels included: Burnside, a street spot close to Burnside, an abandoned building with ledges + possible asbestos floating in the air, and another even sketchier building that had possible high lead contents.

I will tell you this epic tale through photos.

Starting at Burnside we waited for Moira, Jessie, Kristin and Chrissie to show up. We rolled in and saw a group of plus size ladies all dolled up and were like, oh, a photoshoot, this looks burlesque.

As they are posing, a few start getting topless, this caused quite a stir. Then all of a sudden this guy decides that he wants to get naked and compete with the ladies (B6). Then things got really weird and we left, but before that we snapped a photo of Kristin with her Blue Steel face.



We fled the scene and went down a few blocks to this loading dock. Chrissie, Kristina, and Kristin killed it as Moira filmed. Here's some stills of Chrissie.

Afterwards we went to this place where skaters put up some ledges. I was a bit afraid of asbestos particles.
