Guy on the Max from the Rose Quarter, about to hit Pioneer square, it's about 7:pm.
He spots a brilliantly colored punker boy with a mohawk charged up like an exotic bird.
The man looks at the kid long enough for the kid to get creeped out and says
"So is there a scene in Portland nowadays?"
I remembered myself being that punk type kid, many years ago, getting questioned
and being equally at a loss for words.
"What?"
"The scene man, the punk scene, I used to be a punk here back in the day, I was wondering if there was still a scene."
"Um... I don't know."
"Oh yeah (the guy looks the kid up and down until I'm actually creeped out) I been in the joint for 15 years, is the xray still around?"
The kid gets big eyed and said
"The punks like to hang out at the waterfront at thebattleship."
Then the punk got off right away.
So did I.
