Is The Amazing Race in Portland?! | May 13, 2008
Willamette Week says so. That would mean: My favorite show ever, The Amazing Race, might be in my city. Right this very minute.
That also means, Phil Keoghan (that's him, right over there to the left), best reality show host ever, would be here.
I am so torn between my desire to find him and my desire to remain unspoiled on the outcome (because this might be the end, and I would not want to see who crossed the finish line for TAR 13.
So, tell me: What's a crazy, obsessed fan to do? I have two options:
I can keep hunting this down, by going to the underpants store mentioned in the story and asking about this leak. Looking into the parking blocked off in that area, since he said it's blocked off.
Or, I can CALM down and just watch past seasons again -- which I've been doing anyway. I'm on season 5 now. If you don't remember, it has all of the awesome that is Colin, including this:
and this:
So ... any advice on how I can stalk find them other than the options mentioned above? And, yes, you guessed right: I'm going with option No. 1.

Holy Crap. I only wish I still worked in the building across from the Benson. I could be there with my binoculors!

So, what are the odds:
* The OHSU tram will be used?
* The Old Town tunnels will be used?
* They will need to find a specific bulb in the Rose Test Garden?
I could totally produce the Portland leg.

A friend spotted a team downtown today, camera and boom guys in tow. Then out at the gorge ran across a clue box!

I was at VooDoo donuts this afternoon around 3PM and standing right out in front was a clue box. I stood around for about 30 minutes getting the evil eye from one of the producers guarding the box because I was talking on my cell phone saying that the Amazing Race was in town. Finally I saw one team come running up, take out their clue and run up Burnside. My sister was getting her hair cut around the corner so I kept coming in and out and didn't see anyone else after that.

My mom called me on Tuesday I believe after having walked out of Nordstrom downtown and said that she could have sworn she almost got ramsacked by a camera crew and a couple running like crazy, then she noticed their fanny packs as being from TAR.
