Now that the Recall Sam Adams Committee has begun to collect the 32,183 signatures needed to get a recall question on the ballot, May We Interrupt Your Day wanted to know how the Sam Adams situation has shaken out on the street. In this episode we ask: “Would you support a recall vote for Mayor Sam Adams?”

May We Interrupt Your Day: June 29, 2009

Monday, June 29th, 2009

To be a beer snob or not to be a beer snob, that is the question…….or at least this week’s “May We interrupt Your Day” question. Over the weekend WW headed to the Northwest Organic Beer Festival at Overlook Park to check in on what people were drinking and ask: “Do you consider yourself a beer snob?” Just in case it gets difficult to track who is full of self-proclaimed snobbery and who isn’t, we tallied up how many people label themselves snobby vs. how many people just wanted to get drunk on a Sunday afternoon. Who do you think will win?

May We Interrupt Your Day: June 22, 2009

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

This week’s “May We Interrupt Your Day” brings you a special report from San Francisco. The question of course for the good folks of San Francisco: “What comes to mind when you think of Portland?”

Turns out a bunch don’t know a damn thing about Portland. The rest think we’re an amalgam of hippies, swingers and freaks with a good music scene and a penchant for being green. Watch for yourself.

There is nothing more colorful than Portland’s Pride Festival, so WW headed down to the waterfront for this week’s “May We Interrupt Your Day” installment. With all the flouting of fashion, the question seemed obvious: “How did you choose your costume for the Pride Festival  (and why)?” From dressing for these economic times to showing off a new bikini body and impersonating Richard Simmons, here is what you all were saying…………..

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

With all these Navy guys running around during Rose Festival, we went out to ask: “What are some of your favorite things about Fleet Week?”  From the “Dial a Sailor program” to gentlemen’s clubs, here is what both the locals and the Fleeties were saying:

May We Interrupt Your Day, The June 1 Edition

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Last Friday, May We Interrupt Your Day headed to the Portland waterfront to ask Rose Festival fans a simple question — “What are you eating and why?” We came away with second-hand stomach aches and an ear-ful about vendor food.  From trying to go healthy to Carnie sketchiness, here’s what we found you were eating.
