Chromeo Day 8, Portland, OR
Today was a little less painful. We were able to take our time getting in to Portland, no rush at all. The show at Berbati's Pan tonight is a headline club show, so there's no festival madness to deal with. Just us doing our thing.
The afternoon was pretty smooth, had a decent dinner at the club, killed some time walking around. It was alright.
Show time came pretty quickly, it was crazy. The club was packed and it was hot. I was sweating buckets just standing still. They kids, they like the dance-rock-electro-tunes. A lot.
Afterwards, we got out as fast as possible to try and get to the hotel bar for last call. We all made it except for one (showed up only 10mins after us), and the bouncer wouldn't even let him in to the bar, and we just wanted to hang out, it wasn't even about drinks or last call. It was really lame, they escalated things, tried to get physical with us a pick a fight, and that's the main reason why none of want to stay at the uber-lame Jupiter Hotel in Portland, OR, again. So we bailed from the hotel bar, got a couple drinks out of our vehicle and just hung out in the courtyard area trying to unwind.
It was all going pretty well. It was a pretty busy hotel for 2 am on a Sunday; definitely a couple parties going on elsewhere on the property. We were finally relaxing a bit when the fire alarm went off. That was fun. The cops showed up, made a quick drive-by through the parking lot near the outdoor rooms, and things became normal again after a bit. The party people scattered pretty quickly. A handful of them stopped by to hang out with us for a bit and that's pretty much where the night ended. We didn't want to push it much later because we have a 12 hr drive to San Francisco tomorrow. It's about time we try and rest...
