Okay, so Ray Brown of The Citrus Report killed me in my last blog post that was supposed to be my last but after some crying and begging, he agreed to do this last one of our trip home. Thanks Ray, love you man!
It was a very hard week for PEZ and I because we where not sure what art was being shipped up for the Portland show, and we basically free styled this show, with wall paintings improvised shelves and finding supplies in the city while not knowing our way around. Some of the pics from the last blog where taken during our free time during install week, which also consisted of lots of painting back and forth, dumpster diving, and panhandling. Photos of the show will be posted separately somewhere on the web, soon. The following images where taken during opening night and on the train ride home. —Joshua Blank

PEZ and Joshua Blank are taking the “You Can’t Win” show on the road, touring via train and bus and bike up to Portland from SF for a show at FIFTY24PDX Gallery. They posted a bunch of pictures today, as they made their way up to Eugene before getting on their bikes to Portland…. good times.

An update from Joshua Blank, about he and PEZ’ travels to FIFTY24PDX Gallery via bus, train, and bike.
We caught the 9:30 bus to Emeryville, excited to get the 10 o’clock train. I told the bus driver that we where supposed to be in first class and he said, “first class is you getting on the bus.”
After arriving at the station, we had time to meet some interesting characters with whom we would ride the train to Eugene.
This boring old man used to build highways in California before he retired. He was returning home to Eugene after visiting family in San Francisco. He does not like cars or planes, he hates them, in fact. However he loves trains and claims that this is the only form of transportation the he believes in. I do not know why talking to him was the most boring thing ever.
