Oregon Audiophiles...

I'm about to move up to Portlandia from SoCal. Is Positive Feedback, being Portland-based, involved in any local activities? Based on a couple of encounters I've had with David Robinson at Hi-Fi Shows, he doesn't seem to be a real friendly or pleasant guy. Maybe he was just having a bad day, a couple of times ;-).

Check Meetup.com, there is a Portland Audio Club in it, we get together every month or so. Would like to get more local philes to join so I could hear more systems

Thanks Bwalso, I'll be in touch. I'm aware that the housing situation in Portland is getting insane, so I may end up in the outskirts, Gresham perhaps. I don't want to be too far from Music Millenium, my favorite Portland record store!

Yes, "insane" would be putting it mildly. Fortunately for us we bought our house here about 12 years ago, otherwise I guess we'd still be in the midwest. This city has people scraping by on social security income, living in half million dollar small houses. But where else can they go, who could go to Arkansas after being in Portland?

The 3-bedroom tract house my parents bought in Cupertino California (now home to Apple and ebay) in 1959 for $12,000 has risen in value to.....a lot. The house across the street sold last year for $1.4 million. Too bad my dad sold ours in '66!
