Eugene - Anarchy Capital of the U.S.

The Bad Kitty and I recently took a little trip with some good friends to, among other places, Eugene Oregon. The weather was perfect, the people were friendly, and the town was clean and green. All and all, a very pleasant trip.

While hogging our hotel's free bandwidth looking for a fine dining establishment and trying to ignore the sound of the boat shop outside our window revving outboards, we discovered a wealth of fun facts about Eugene, including:

• "Other cities elect beauty queens; we choose a Slug Queen, honoring our moist winters."
• #1 export: the death of civilization
• <irony>Anarchy capital of the U.S.</irony>

So if you're driving around in the middle of Oregon and you need a break from country-music-bible-thumping-middle-of-nowhere radio, swing by Eugene, "The World's Greatest City for the Arts and Outdoors!" And anarchy!
