Re: the Oregon Country Fair
There were fruitcakes everywhere. I usually like flamboyance and out there people (such as on Halloween in the Village in NYC) but the crowd at the OCF (affectionately called “Fair” by those cool people in the know) were just gross. Superficial? Sure. But there were more floppy titties painted with flowers [...]

So the weather than everyone always raves about in Oregon has arrived! Which is a good thing, because the office is currently lacking a roof. I drove by today and was amazed at the gaping holes…and not a worker to be seen. Hopefully the sun will hold out Everyone’s [...]

Yes, it is Friday night at 7:30 and yes, I am posting on Boot Blog. In an attempt to make up for the crazy no office-new visitors-Thirsty Thursday week, my lack of internet connectivity at home (fixed it today!), and general life distractions, I was hoping to tie up some loose ends this evening.

Chris is my best friend right now. Why? Because he sent me articles that I can spend alllll day editing. No deep thinking required. You may ask, “Why are you adverse to deep thinking, Court?” The answer is quite simple. I am “no dinner, 4 beers and 2 rum [...]

Calling all Portland BNAllers! This Thursday (May 6), the bootie crew will be heading out to PGE Park for Thirsty Thursday fun. I’ve never been, but apparently this means lots of people and lots of cheap beer. We plan on showing up around 6, but the baseball game starts at 7. [...]

Last Friday, RTW biker and BNA member Alastair Humphreys gave a talk at Portland Community College about his trip.

One of the things that tends to happen when I talk to people about my job at BootsnAll is the, "Oh, you're so lucky!" moment. I do consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to write about travel every day - to do something I love so much that work doesn't feel …

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
