| ______________________________ [Jan 24,2010 6:12pm - Lamp ""] When I moved to North Carolina, I brought what I felt was necessary on the first trip and filled up my car. On visits I would bring a bit more stuff down. The last time I was visiting I knew I was coming back so I brought a bit of stuff in advance. When I moved back here, I sold some stuff and basically didn't spend a hell of a lot of time looking for smaller things so I could get the fucking hell out of there as fast as possible. I never brought any furniture either way though, mostly just clothes, guitar stuff, and a TV. |

| ____________________________________________ [Jan 25,2010 9:53am - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] Also, more people should be talking about Aldebaran. Easily one of the best (Lovecraftian) U.S. doom bands. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 25,2010 10:42am - Yeti ""] more people should be talking about Alderaan and how it was mercilessly destroyed. |

| _______________________________________ [Jan 25,2010 11:04am - Slagadoccio ""] There are very few shows in Portland. I went there last year. I looked far and wide for a single metal show throughout the city. There were ZERO that I knew of... and talking to some well established folks that had lived there for some time, they had heard of none. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jan 25,2010 12:55pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] A friend of mine from high school moved to Portland a year or two ago and said most shows tend to be in basements, gallery spaces and the like. At least the ones that are worth going to. |
