Portland Hat Chase
On October 11th, we rolled into Portland. After Brandon did a magnificent job parking our behemoth of a RV into a Sears parking lot, we walked on over to a local bar and grill and enjoyed a burger and beer. Matt’s opinion of Broadway Bar and Grill: The Red Ale was tasty, the IPA made me miss California very much. Not even close to the West Coast’s IPA.
The plan was to tweet Freddie’s location – Holladay Park – at 3:30pm, and the first person to grab the hat off his head would win a prize. Being around 3pm, and with no prize in hand, we went to the Mall across the street and looked for a trophy shop. Amongst all the wedding gifts, and foo foo jewelry, sat a Star Trophy worthy of the Plumber with a red hat himself.
“Portland Man Touching Champion” is the crest this trophy would have. And now all we needed as a hat. Luckily for us, a custom hat stand sat literally 50 feet away from the store. A totally awesome dude with an epic beard met our needs, and busted out a red hat with “FreddieW” written on it in the most garish font we could find.
We got to the park just in time, and Freddie tweeted his location. In a mere 30 seconds we all heard “FREDDIE”, and a Portlander by the name of Ben chased him down. It was a good time, and within a half an hour or so we had a good 20 people to help make this video.
Afterwards we all walked over to the Mall’s food court and chatted and hung out for a while. Thank you Portland. Everyone was awesome, and we hope you all like the video.

Yeah that initial reaction by Freddy was priceless.
…yet worth five dollars. Huh, strange.
Lol another great Freddiew moment.

Haha, this is epic.
What about dating or picking up Asian women? I think Asian girls are hot and I’d like to know if there are special “pickup techniques” that a guy can use to pick up and date Asian women. Or do the standard “rules of the game” apply?
I just lost the game….
how could you do that!
Great. Can I recommend this on my Facebook and Twitter? I do love the manner in which you have framed this issue.
