About me: ~~~***~~~~~If you know of any upcoming fun/ weird/ random/ debaucherous events post it as a comment! It's up to you to Keep It Weird! ~~~~***~~~~
We're just a group of portlanders trying to keep it weird! This page is dedicated to the guy on a unicycle carrying his bags of groceries, the naked bikers, the 80 year old couple dressed in full on goth @ the dollar tree, the 500 santas looking for a good draft, the urban iditaroders, the flashmobbers, the treehuggers, the free huggers and the people that just like to watch!
Who I'd like to meet: Weirdos. Winos. Freaks. Geeks. Punks. Drunks.
You - and your friends - and your grandma - and that kid that smelled bad in 3rd grade.
Everyone except for Carrot Tops roadies. We have already met them. And we were not impressed.
Check out our new batch of Portland weirdness. MarchFourth has a new Live Anniversary Album available online. You can get the CD or mp3s by clicking on the link below or by going to
