Voodoo At City Hall
Cream? Creme? What?
Every week, after 4:00 PM on Friday, we dutifully check to see what's coming before City Council the following week. It took some time (and some Googling) for us to properly process the first two items listed on next week's agenda.
Request of Jay Boss Rubin to address Council regarding the cream of Portland (Communication)
Request of Tres Shannon to address Council regarding The Portland Cream (Communication)
Yes, that's the fryer and the co-owner (respectively) of Portland's own Voodoo Doughnut. Testifying before City Council. About cream. Or perhaps its "creme" since the Voodoo site does list the following:
Portland Creme (raised doughnut filled with creme and covered in chocolate with two eyes)
But, still. Whether creme or creme, they are apppearing before City Council in five days.
Impatient creature that we are, we couldn't wait until next Wednesday to find out just what in the world was going on. We needed some sort of advance teaser, so we emailed the address listed on the Voodoo Doughnut site.
But then we got impatient again, and didn't want to wait for a response before posting this. Besides, it's always possible that one of you knows something. So, spill it.

I called Jay tonight, and caught him before the Swahili exam that he was proctoring. He was enthusiastic about having everyone show up at the council meeting and hear what they have to say. It involves doughnuts, creme, and vision.
I say listen to the man, and to call ahead if you have a jones for an Elvis Fritter to see if they are making them. And to not plan on parking in the lot across the street from their shop for free for just a few minutes to run in and get a doughnut. They will ticket you $15.00.
