Huge new Oregon NORML sign greets 16,000+ drivers per day (click for full size version of photo)
It’s been a hectic first week at the Oregon NORML World Famous Cannabis Café. Last Saturday, the grand re-opening featured a barbecue out in the sun in the parking lot. Dozens turned out over the afternoon and evening to consume cannabis and socialize out on the shielded outdoor patio and downstairs in the 4,000 square foot café / lounge.
As word spread throughout the week about our new location, we saw the return of many of our old friends, customers from our previous location. They are agog at the magnificent new setting. The clean, classy, and huge interior was the main comment of praise I heard, followed by those folks excited to play free pool, shuffleboard, and air hockey. We haven’t even finished outfitting the back game room with the two big screens for simultaneous Xbox and Wii play.
I volunteered there all week; it’s hard to stay away when the place is a ten-minute walk away from my studios. I hooked up a dual band wireless network, with a 2.4GHz channel dedicated to the café patrons for free wi-fi and a 5GHz channel dedicated to the Xbox and Wii for live network gaming and to the café big screen for streaming Netflix and internet video.
About the only bad situation that arose was when we tried to do our live show from the café on Friday. Our studio laptop picked that day to have issues with Flash encoder, our sound board couldn’t route the Skype interview line without an echo, and the cell reception was too poor for us to make do with our Skype Plan B. We had to abort the show midway through and were unable to save any portion of it. However, we stayed late and gave exclusive tours to the audience throughout the evening with our remote laptop, so it wasn’t a total loss.
Next mission: getting College Football Gamecast so I can watch my beloved Boise State Broncos roll to another undefeated season and a first-ever I-A FBS National Championship.

I was a sophomore when they installed the smurf turf!
If Boise State is where RadMan went to college,then I’m sending my Khmer daughter with pink ribbon around the ideas of Aristotle.
Sounds like a dream. Wish I could be there.
