As usual, Jake was on the forefront of this news: this June, the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization will be descending on Central Oregon to have a, well, Bigfoot hunting expedition. Once Jake ran the story, it picked up steam: appearing in an article in the Bulletin (you need to pay … Continue reading
In the latest Source Weekly, there’s an article about the private airstrip that’s located southeast, just off of Bear Creek Road. I’ve seen that before on maps and wondered about it, especially as it was near Sugarbowl Park (which I blogged about). You can see the strip in the image … Continue reading

Need costumes and stuff for Halloween in a pinch? Check out the Halloween Headquarters, located in the Factory Outlets next to Nike. This close to the end of the month, they’re probably getting limited on the costume selection, but they’re still quite impressive. That’s also the location of "The Haunt," … Continue reading
A few weeks ago at the Bend Fall Festival, I picked up the "premier issue" of a small zine/chapbook from a local non-profit arts group: Artists Local 101. The zine is named "Guerilla." It was one of those weird little finds that make you scratch your head. (Plus, it was … Continue reading
