re: Wow...drove by that bridge today.
That's the convention center. Kind of a fun building.
What are you doing in Portland? Up from California to enjoy our spectacularly dry, warm, sunny weather? :-)
By the way, I live about half a mile from that bridge -- right in the center of downtown -- so if you (or anyone) are ever in Portland and feel like gabbing about space stuff over coffee. feel free to drop me an email.
Cheers,
Nathan.
