Worth the price? Hell yes. However, even though the senator isn't running for president this time around, you might want to buy your tickets in advance...

On John Kerry's map of the United States, Portland is marked with a big red heart.

Kerry loves Portland. He can't stop talking about it. He praises its "coordinated, visionary thinking" about global warming in his new book about the environment. When he's asked what he remembers about an Aug. 13, 2004, campaign rally that attracted an estimated 50,000 people to Tom McCall Waterfront Park, he answers before the question is finished.

"I remember everything that I ever did in Portland," Kerry said. "I remember riding my bike on the bike paths by the river. I remember the bus tour that came in and the rally we had at the waterfront. I remember the (earlier) rally at (Pioneer Courthouse Square) with the people hanging out of the windows. There's a great energy there that is really wonderful. It really is one of the nicest cities in the country."

7. Yeah, I did

It was really great. Portland was very good to them, I was impressed. Love the Bagdad, what a cool little place. I don't think I've ever seen food benches in a theatre before.

Wrote it up here.

9. So did I

Mr. Kerry does have a sense of humor: he remarked on the irony of holding the event at the BAGDAD Theatre and Pub. Both he and Mrs. were excellent speakers and their book so far has been very readable. Re the food benches in a theater, I remember seeing the same type of arrangement in the Mission Theater and Pub on NW 16th and Glisan a few years ago.

11. That was funny too

I decided not to mention it because jokes like that seem to get blown out of proportion on him.

Wasn't Teresa's knowledge incredible? The Conference on Women’s Health & the Environment she talked about is going to be on the 20th in Pittsburgh. They're supposed to put up the speakers' remarks, shouldbe interesting.

I've been in a lot of old theaters around the country and have never seen the food benches. I wonder if that's something unique to Portland.
