Holy shit there’s a lot to do this weekend! Usually I publish this weekend roundup post on Thursday, but I really think we all need some extra time this week to make our weekend plans. We have multiple beer, music, and street fair events, in addition to a Timbers match and the July Sunday Parkways.

The best rookie Frenchman in Portland Trailblazer history has a blog (bloc-note? ) for French basketball website, Basket Session.com. In a recent post Batum writes about All-Star weekend.

Timbers to face the French Champions?

With my super ninja google skills I found this French-language nugget: Lyon envisage sérieusement de suivre un camp d’entraînement aux Etats-Unis lors de la deuxième semaine de juillet. On cite la ville de Portland pour accueillir les champions de France. Pour l’occasion, deux matches amicaux seraient programmés. Now I’m only in French 102 (seriously), but [...]
Pardon my québécois
Posted on 26 March 2008
I guess I have to stop with the frog jokes. In college I studied Spanish, Portuguese, and even Hungarian; all more useful to my cultural prejudices and post-college travel plans than French. I never made it to Budapest. Two years ago, however, I did spend a week in Montreal. I fell in love with countless [...]
