Goodbye Michigan, hello Oregon

Shonuff · Jan 30, 2009

I grew up in Oregon and lived there most of my life. I've lived in Michgian for the past 4+ years.

I'll be moving back to Oregon in about a month.

I just wanted to say thanks to all the Michgan Mashers that kept me sane (Revvy, Yooper, etc)

I'm really going to miss Bastone and Dragonmead!

Thanks. It'll be nice to be back. If we could just get rid of the damn rain Oregon would be paradise.

It'll be good to see the Ducks play again and I hear Eugene has a great new brewery (Ninkasi?)

So whatcha gonna be doing?

Congrats, but I'm sad now.

That's why I moved here. You want dry, try Las Vegas or Tucson.

Well, the good thing is you're leaving one great beer state and headed to another (so I hear, anyway...no personal experience with Oregon). You'll just have to get used to hills again.

Good luck!

Revvy · Jan 30, 2009

Well I still think I would love to end up there someday....Probably after my mom dies. Oregon and Washington are my two favorite states....I love both Portlan and Seattle....So it will be nice to have a friend out that way.

Where in Oregon are you moving to, and yes Ninkasi is a very good brewery and they will fill cornies for you.

99% sure it's Portland but a lot of my friends live in Eugene. We'll see.

I lived in Eugene most of my life but have family in P-town.

The beer scene is certainly much more vibrant in Portland then Eugene. Eugene is kinda sleepy comparatively. But, for my wife and I, we prefer sleepy.

This site will give you a good idea as to the happenings in Portland.

Welcome back to the Pacific Northwest!

Are you kidding? We still have that rain machine going to keep the Californians away. The taxpayers paid a lot for it, you know.

And many enemies thanks to your shenanigans on the forums.

I'm so glad I got to meet you when I did, since it's doubtful I'll be visiting Oregon any time soon. You still have to be an honorary masher, though, ok?

Homercidal · Feb 2, 2009

Oh, well, you might be anxious to be gettin back to the Pac northwest, but that's because you lived in Royal Oak, not the real Michigan! I'd love to get out there and see what that part of the country is like, but I love North Michigan! The farther North, the better it gets! Anywhere away from the cities. anyway.

Um, I don't think it's working. As a Californian I know hella people who have moved up to Portland, myself and SWMBO included.

Welcome back to the PNW Shonuff :ban:

Once a masher, always a masher. Didn't we sign a contract or something?

Ok, I'll admit I don't think I've ever been there, but I know about where it is... Down THERE! LOL! :cross:
