Is there a good place in the Rose Quarter area to store luggage? Might fly back home after the game, just thinking logistics.

You might be able to leave it with guest services. I thought they took baby items like strollers and would probably do luggage. Guest services would probably not lock it though or be responsible if it was lost. Leaving it with someone that parks in the garage then getting it after the game is an option. Would help but we park a little walk from the Rose Quarter.

I might just check it at the bell desk at a hotel in the area. Haven't decided where I'm staying yet, hotels are so expensive in Portland!

You can tiptoe in under Sly's grey raincoat. He doesn't wear anything under it, so put on your football helmet.

I heard Sly is well hung though. Is there room for a second Bone under the raincoat?

Sorry, Had to. Too many options open there. ;)

Come as my life partner, if they don't let you in = huge sexual discrimination suit and we can buy the Blazers! :MARIS61:
 
I've always wanted to do this, but anyone want to join in?

I've always wanted to burn a little sage around the Rose Quarter to cleanse all of the bad luck the Blazers have had for as long as I've known. Might be a good time to do this.

Know any stores I could get this stuff at?

The ritual burning of herbs and herbal resins is common to many cultures in the world. From the rich frankincense of the Church and the Middle Eastern bazaar, to the heady incenses of Asia, to the raw energy of brush burning in many native cultures—the purification of space through this modality is a global phenomenon and one you can benefit from highly.

Burning sage is one of the oldest and purest methods of cleansing a person, group of people or space. While Native American sage burning is the most commonly recognized form of it today, it has nevertheless been a shared practice in other cultures too.

From the ancient Celtic druids who used sage as a sacred herb alongside Oak Moss for burning as well as medicinal purposes, to the Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon whose Palo Santo (sacred wood) sage burning ceremonies are still practiced to this day.

Sage is for healing
Many who eschew the burning of incenses and herbs as a cleansing method and think that the only purpose in this tradition is to make dwellings smell nice, have perhaps never smelled sage burning. No one who has smelled the distinct acrid tang of burning sage would say that it could only be for ‘aesthetic’ olfactory purposes.

The Latin for sage, ‘Salvia,’ stems from the word ‘to heal.’ The other qualities of sage when burned, such as giving wisdom, clarity and increasing spiritual awareness, are also indicated in the name. It’s no accident that we refer to wise people as sagely.

The benefits of burning sage can be harnessed very simply by burning sage in your home, office or any other place in need of cleansing.

How to burn sage properly
Sage burning cleansing rituals can be as elaborate or as simple as you want them to be, but it’s of the highest importance that your intention be clear before you begin. If you are burning sage to purify a space, or a person (even yourself) then this needs to be clearly planted in your mind before you the light the sage, and while taking the smoke around a home, or through a space.

The best sage to use for such purposes is white sage, although if you have garden sage then this will work fine also (just make sure it is dried). Any local farmer’s market or health food store should carry it, as well as new age stores. Of course, you can order online as well. See below for a recommendation.

The process is simple enough. If you have a heavy earthenware pot (something heatproof), then place the bundled sage into the pot and light it for a few seconds before extinguishing the flame and letting the smoke billow up. Really dry sage will catch fire quickly, so watch your fingers.

Focus burning sage on gateway and high traffic areas
Be careful not to breathe in the smoke directly, and not to fill the area too thickly with smoke—this is not a fumigation, just a cleansing, so no need to go overboard. Then slowly walk around where you are and take the smoke to each area you would like to cleanse. Concentrate on gateway areas, such as windows, doors, closets, as well as hallways. Also concentrate on the corners of a room. Most importantly, use your intuition. If you allow it, your space will usually inform you as to which areas need to be cleansed the most.

You may want to focus on particularly busy areas, both foot traffic wise (kitchen) and mentally (computer workstation). If you have a pet, be sure to sage them a little (if they allow it) and their sleeping area.

Try burning incense immediately after a saging session. Sage has a more masculine/yang aspect and is nicely coupled by the feminine/yin aspect of incense. Also experiment with bell ringing or hand clapping in between saging and incense burning for a total cleansing effect.

If you can at least burn sage in your living space on a weekly basis, then you are guaranteed to notice a lightness of energy and calmness descend into your home from this practice. It can be a way to cleanse the old energy from the previous week, and welcome in the newly beginning week and all the possibilities it holds.

I'll do it with you. Third Eye on 39th and Hawthorne would be my guess.

Should we sacrifice a chicken too?
 
i'm pretty sure i can get that sage at whole foods haha
 
Your going to need several bales of the stuff. Might be easier to find pot.
 
Trust me, if I owned the Blazers I'd get every tribe in the northwest to show up and help cleanse the joint, and invite the fans to join in. Not only would it be a great event, it would be a PR bonanza. (Just don't tell the Fire Marshall.)

:cheers:
 
Put me on the guest list sly. We'll find out if the wild one can out drink damian the fish.
