After we left the Self-Cleaning House we went to Burgerville, U.S.A., which looked as though it never gets cleaned at all. But we got fish & chips. We could have got our fish & chips for free, with coupons supplied by Cupcake, if we'd managed to find her at the games. This she was to remind us of many times, yes.
Personally, I thought the smell of Max's vinegar-drenched fish was worse than Molly's stinkbombs. |
Then we went back to Portland and stopped in at Henry Ford's, a lounge with a nice view of Mt. Hood (which you can't really see in this photo) and soap suds in the fountain (which you can kind of see in this photo). It's a sort of 50s-60s-style lounge.
Max's description: The over eager valet would NOT leave Tom’s SUV alone, he kept moving it around the parking lot, getting in and out, walking behind it (we thought he was peeing on it at one point), Tom almost walked out there and took his keys from the guy, very weird. For those of you that have never been to Henry Fords - your missing out, it’s like partying in Dick Van Dykes living room, except everything is brightly colored, bright red walls, bright primary blue sofas in very 60’s shapes, at night they have this old guy that plays the organ (not that kind of organ) and sings. I forget his name but he’s really nice, when Victor and I went there on the Barfly Bus Tour we kept asking him to play songs and he would only play the ones I requested cuz, as he told Victor "sorry pal - I like the ladies!" so Victor just piped the songs through me. |
Later we ended up at a place called Hung Far Low, which you'd think is a joke name, but it isn't. It's been around in Portland for decades & decades.
Max: Then we went to downtown Portland’s Chinatown - which consists of 2 cement lion thingys and an arch way, the next thing you see is an Adult Bookstore, there’s a couple Chinese restaurants and a strip club called the Magic Garden. We took Deuce to Hung Far Lows, one of my favorite bars, really divey Chinese bar with stiff drinks. |
Fake Wagner poses with Hung Far Low's happy Buddha and the Hung Far Low t-shirt he insisted on buying instead of a drink. |
Max's finger poses with duct tape supplied by William Harvey, maybe the guy who discovered the circulation of the blood, or the guy who put all those cartoons in circulation. Either way, Max doesn't like him. |
