Today, Friday March 7th 2010 marks the end of my civil commute. Come Monday I'll have my arsenal of incendiary devices, rocket launchers and the sawed-off shotgun- ready to snarl at and threaten my fellow commuters. On Monday my radio will be silent at 8AM as the calming effect of two friends chatting it up in the morning will be no more. Today, Robert Wagner and Sabrina Miller will do their last Portland Sucks morning show. After 282 episodes and becoming a popular morning team, they're calling it quits and Portland will miss them. On a shoestring budget this show demonstrated the possibilities of what can be done on internet radio. And they did it with humor- not taking themselves too seriously.
In the last year on Portland Sucks, I've learned:
1 ) Portland really doesn't suck (but Seattle does!)
2 ) There's a lot of really cool people doing some really cool shit here!
3 ) Go Timbers!
4 ) Hard work may not always get you where you want to go, but it's a hell of a lot better than whining and having a sense of entitlement.
5 ) You really should keep tabs on your 'man-parts'. If you ignore a problem, you might just end up in the emergency room.
6 ) Life is best when you're doing it with really good people.
7 ) Humpday is for humping... something...
8 ) Portland is still full of crazies that are as far away as the send button in email.
9 ) Housekeeping!
10 ) Robert and Sabrina are two really great people who make this city the best place to be!
Farewell Portland Sucks, we all will miss you. Best wishes to Robert and Sabrina in their future endeavors.
