It's a media storm! Or, as close as we'll get on this trip anyway.

Had a great chat over lunch at a local hot spot with TJ (first name only, like Madonna...or Cher, or Gonzo). He is the founder of the Loaded Orygun and will undoubtedly be a great resource for insights on Oregon politics.

Plus...editorial board meetings are typically a daunting affair, but Bob Caldwell and Sandy Rowe couldn't have been nicer people. Check out the Oregonian for potential coverage of our issue. Here we are with Sandy in her office.
