Heading up to Alberta to visit The Bye & Bye for the very first time! We're excited about dinner. #
I'm at Bye and Bye (1011 NE Alberta St, at NE 11th Ave, Portland). http://bit.ly/231I5p #
When I eat really spicy things, I get uncontrollable hiccups. Tonight, the Weeping Tiger Sandwich at the Bye and Bye gave me such hiccups. #
It probably wasn't the wisest decision to pair the Weeping Tiger sandwich with a cup of really hot coffee. #
I can't wait to see the response to my Transformers 2 defense on the @CriterionCast disc 2 with @Vactor. Y'all better write in, or comment. #
So, we're discussing Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing this week on @CriterionCast, be sure to write in with your thoughts on this classic. #
