just wondering if anyones done this and best/cheapest way, advice, ideas?
we dont have a ton of furniture mostly a few matress's desk, dresser, etc.
was thinking of heading there in the summer to scout out a place to live then come back here and drive out taking one car and prolly gonna sell/trade for a decent van.

were thinking of shipping stuff but wondering on freight prices and if its worth it. vs buying a cheapish van that will make it there.

he just moved to Illinois from here.

When I moved to North Carolina, I brought what I felt was necessary on the first trip and filled up my car. On visits I would bring a bit more stuff down. The last time I was visiting I knew I was coming back so I brought a bit of stuff in advance. When I moved back here, I sold some stuff and basically didn't spend a hell of a lot of time looking for smaller things so I could get the fucking hell out of there as fast as possible. I never brought any furniture either way though, mostly just clothes, guitar stuff, and a TV.

portland is clean, the water is crisp, temperate, great food, hot women, no metal scene however, rains a shit ton

Engorged
Frightmare
Splatterhouse
Menacer
Lord Gore(rip)
Winter of Apokalypse
Warhate
Thy Infernal
Whore.....and so on and so on......... Yea no metal scene whatsoever haha!

Not all are from Portland but add Aldebaran, YOB, and H.C. Minds to that list.

Also, more people should be talking about Aldebaran. Easily one of the best (Lovecraftian) U.S. doom bands.

more people should be talking about Alderaan and how it was mercilessly destroyed.

Shit yeah! Murder Basket, Murdergod, Warhate....some of the best shit.

Don't forget my boyfriends in Agalloch!

There are very few shows in Portland. I went there last year. I looked far and wide for a single metal show throughout the city. There were ZERO that I knew of... and talking to some well established folks that had lived there for some time, they had heard of none.

A friend of mine from high school moved to Portland a year or two ago and said most shows tend to be in basements, gallery spaces and the like. At least the ones that are worth going to.

I luv u.

I had 3 bedrooms and the usual other stuff. we rented a 20 something foot Penske box truck with a 4 wheel trailer to tow a car for under 500. book it far in advance and they hook u up
