Haha. Sorry to encroach, but I can't refrain. This reminds me of when I went to New York in 2002. I have a brother who lives there and went there for his wedding. Stayed for 8 days and one day I wasted the whole day going halfway into Brooklyn to visit this LFS that advertised in FAMA magazine. I figured if they advertise there, it must be one helluva store. What a let down. It was just like any 'ole run of the mill LFS anywhere. I even took the ad with me and when the guy asked me if I needed any help I showed him the ad and said I was from Western Canada and was stoked about seeing his store. He looked at me kinda weird like and said in a thick Brooklyn accent something along the lines of "Ya? So?". Ha! What a joke! It suddenly occured to me that this guy wasn't advertising to the world. He was advertising to the some 20 million people that live within a 50 mile radius of his store! Heck, the store was so small, I can't even remember if they had SW (as I was not into SW back then).
Anyway, back to Tony's query about your recent trip to Wash/Oregon.....
Cheers,
