I will indeed be in Portland in late August, and would be happy to introduce you to a few of my favorite spots (and hear your Asia tales as well!). It is a great town. Feel free to contact me via Matador or email (heidihillman@gmail.com) anytime! When I have a bit more time to spare, I plan to check out your blog, which has received quite a bit of press! ;)

Heidi :)
