At the suggestion of Cam, I joined him at the Keller Williams show last night at the McDonald Theatre. Until last night, I was not familiar with Keller’s music at all. It was a very interesting show.

Okay, just so everyone knows, I am joking. It is pretty clear where Eugene stands on the list of cities, though, to get [ READ MORE ]
I got back from San Francisco on Friday afternoon and met my dad in town. He was in Seattle for some meetings and made the drive south to spend some time with us. I was under the impression it was about a six hour drive, but it turns out to only be about four and [ READ MORE ]
My Grandma and Grandpa Johnson sent Rachel and me an article from their local paper about Eugene and the University of Oregon. It rated the city as the number one travel destination in the Pac-10. It mentioned a few of the hot spots (a few of which I have yet to go to, but definitely [ READ MORE ]
