It is funny living here, and sometimes it is even funnier than it really is - especially when PORTLANDIA shoots an episode satirising food-carts, right across the street from a bunch of actual food-carts.
Watching hipsters watching the fake food-cart scene featuring hipster actors recreating a scene was confusing, even to passing dogs. At one point, a hip couple explained to a visiting couple from Japan that the show was a satire of all things we hold dear in Portland, but that it was "just not that funny..."
As the afternoon grew long we retired to the Interurban Bar a block away and imbibed some cocktails before our evening stroll to the grocery store to watch a live band perform in the produce isle. Leaning up against some chilled beets with a white wine, it occured to me that all that artifice to film a hit TV show was a waste of time and effort. Just strap a mini-cam around my neck and let it roll.
