We're in Portland for a performance as a part of the Friends of Chamber Music concert series. Check back soon for a link to the online broadcast of last night's concert. Here's a link to last year's concerts in this series.

Highlights from this trip:

Stumptown Coffee at the Ace Hotel.

Voodoo Doughnuts.

Kenny and Zuke's pastrami reuben. This stuff isn't on any diet, but I can't miss out when I'm in Portland.

The concert itself. The audience here in Portland loves us. It's almost like being in Europe, the way they respond to our performances here.

A post-concert beer with my childhood cello teacher, Janis Wilkinson, and her friend Janet. Always great to catch up with old friends after a great concert. (I promised them I'd get their tickets next time, since they were in the nose-bleeds.)

Multiple lunches at the Portland Food Carts. Today's was at a cart called Wet Hot Beef. Awesome.
