I was born in Gallatin and lived in Oak Grove - really, really close to Portland. In fact, during summer break in college I'd work at a factory in Portland.

I almost fell out of my chair when I heard about this.

To their credit, most of my FaceBook friends from home that still live in that area are all supportive of letting the show go on. They say if you don't like it then don't go.
