Scenes from the Pie-Off
Big ups to the organizers of yesterday’s pie-off. It was a quintessentially Portland event in a quintessentially Portland location. I was planning to just name myself a judge early on, but, as I’m wont to do, I spaced it. Instead, the Professor took my spot. It’s a good thing too. After tasting 49 pies, I would have exploded. It sounds like they’ll be expanding the field of judges next year, so you can put me down now.
You wouldn’t have known it yesterday as I hung out with the Bogdanskis and their kids, but I’m painfully shy when it comes to meeting new people. This is why I failed to say hello to folks like DieselBoi (and his spectacular Utilikilt), LeLo, Gretchen, and (I think) Recovering Straight Girl. This is also why I failed at outside sales and fail with the ladies in general. Alas.
Anyway, I had fun. Everyone else seemed to too. Here’s a little of what I saw.
