AFTER SY'S I headed to NCC campus to enjoy my second piece.
Love that building
Oops, I meant NCU...
THEN, AT about 9 PM PT, thanks to a FB post by my friend Kody from Kanada, I JUST HAD to go to a legendary Eugene dessert spot!! I was dark, yet there were 7 people ahead of me in line and over 10 people outside eating and 6 inside! This is not a big place, but it has BIG YUMMINESS!!
The Prince is IN! Homemade by Royalty!
If she ever went here, THIS would be Heather's favorite.
Homemade Flavors galore! FRESH MARRIONBERRY!

PRINCE PUCKLERS in my rear view mirror, I headed to the U of O to wander again the school of higher learning of my youth (actually I never took a class, but spent numerous days riding around on my three speed bike, walking through the cemetery, and even helping out in 1996 on the set of "Without Limits," a story about Steve Prefontaine, the famous Oregon runner.
I'm also actually in the movie, though I have to point myself out to people because the camera was following runners at the time and I am in the background. OK, so I'm a blur, but I know which blur is me!
Besides being an extra:
:::I also worked as Craft Services (nowadays you take out a cart with snacks for actors/directors/special people, not what the job description was BACK WHEN... (paragraph 6 tells the beginning history of the name)
:::Met the director by accident (He came to Craft Services card and I asked, "So what do you do on the filem?" He said, "Nothing." Which is what many directors say because everyone else does the hard work, and directors tell someone to call Action and Cut and to do all the other things).
:::Met Donald Sutherland (OK, brought him some fruit with the main Craft Services guy (son of the owners) then stood around as he did a euphemistic magic trick and turned an orange into a peach - Requirements: An orange, a cloth napkin, then say, "You wanna see me turn this orange into a peach?" Then say, "Ain't that a peach?" after holding an extended napkin encompassed orange from one's mid section)
:::Think I had my first drink of alcohol (not 100% sure - one of the main extras who knew my name was on Hayward Field under a tent while his group was taking a break and said, "Scott, have a drink." To be fair, I did say I was thirsty because it was hot out. So I took it and took a drink: it was not a refreshing cool glass of water as I expected, but didn't taste like the beer I had smelled up to that point. I gave it back and thanked the kind gentleman. Felt no ill effects and only felt dizzy for 15 minutes (that was a lie).
Well, that was a fun detour. Now back to your regular scheduled programming...
AT THE U of O there is this place called the Fishbowl - a semi circular study/meet up place...
From afar... From my car's window...
Oops, as I turned around, Journey fell out the open window!
No, ocifer, I'm not as think as drunk you am.
Up close, and personal... Actually named FISHBOWL!
Then stopped by Hayward Field...
famous because coach Bowerman had Prefontain use shoes...
that eventually became the Nike brand.
Famous old covered seats at Hayward, at night...
Here they are during the day!
Coach Bowerman - a building next to Hayward...
RAC TOW USA!!!
There's actually more, but almost done...
Skippy
Ahhhhh. UO. My old flame. Miss UO. Great time of my life. What, no pics of the very cool graveyard? I used to go there during lunch to listen to the music students practice. It was a great place to hear a single, far-away flute, sax or viola! - Jama
ReplyDeleteI only made it there during the night, so graveyard pics would be too expensive to light properly for good photography ;-)
