Mission Accomplished
For those of you that were not already aware, I have just accepted a position with PGE Park in Portland, Oregon. I will be serving as the Media Relations Coordinator, working as the primary media contact for the Portland Timbers USL team and as a secondary contact for the Portland Beavers, the Triple-A baseball affiliate of the San Diego Padres. I will have a large and diverse workload to keep me busy every day, but I'm very excited to be undertaking this.
For those of you in the Toledo area, I will be leaving very shortly so give me a call! I'm departing on February 2nd for the weekend to find an apartment, return on Sunday, and then I leave for good the following Tuesday. I'm currently scheduled to start work in Portland on Monday, February 13.
Thanks to everyone for their support during the application process, and I, for one, am glad it started and concluded so quickly. I hope to see some visitors at the Park this summer! And Steve, that means getting you on a plane!

well I'm happy for you and I'll hold steve to his word. I did in fact witness Steve say if you get the job, he'd fly out to visit.
we should start planning Steve :)
:(
Congratulations Brad, though I don't think I'll be able to get back to town to see you before you leave. We'll see though.
How long do you think you'll be out there?

I will be there AT LEAST until the end of the playing season, which would be around the end of September/early October, and beyond that, anything's possible.
Brad-
If you can get me a picture with the team's mascot im there in a heartbeat.

PS
Im learing Lima Time might be coming to your ball park then too
Failor, I'll let you know about the mascot as soon as I get there. It's a beaver, what could be better? And what is Lima Time?

Heya Brad - congrats on finding a job so quickly; that's no small feat these days! If you're flying in, are you planning to buy a car or stick to public transport?
Keep me updated on your schedule, because I might have to schedule in a bit of a road trip once you're settled in and whatnot.
Well - good luck in the upcoming months!!
ps - HardFi are playing at the Troubadour here for $10 tomorrow night! Unfortantely I don't think I'll make it, but it's the second time I've noticed they're in town, so I'm sure they'll be back.
Welcome ot The Rose City Brad. If you didn't know already the TImbers have a VERY large and faithful following led by the Timbers Army. You are replacing a guy well loved by us so I hope you like to drink beer after matches.
Go to www.talktimbers.com for all Timbers Army related things and don't be afraid to introduce yourself.
Brad,
Yes thanks to my GOOD buddies they left out the Timbers Army page and the other forum www.timbersarmytalk.com
Plus you will find out there will be something else in the works that is supported by your co-workers in the front office at PGE park.
Yes welcome to Portland and the Timbers.
The Drumman of the Timbers Army!
Cheers
Brad, if you get into Portland early enough on Thursday, we would love to have you join us at the Bullpen. The bar is located just across the street from PGE Park. 1730 SW Taylor St.
