The Days of Lore

This band could be your neighbor: part 1

Monday, October 13th, 2008 | musiX, pdX

There’s a mysterious van—gray with tinted windows—that comes and goes from my apartment complex … I’ve been told it’s sometimes gone for days at a time. Of course, my first thought was that it was a serial killer, like Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs! Maybe not. OK, perhaps it’s a group of circus performers! Naw. Flight attendants?! Hmm …

The thing is, I’ve never seen anybody enter or leave the vehicle—it’ll be parked and 20 minutes later, when I peer from behind the blinds, it’s gone. I don’t want to randomly knock on my neighbors’ doors. That would be weird. I’m going to assume it’s a band. This is Portland. That’s what people do—work at coffee shops and play rock ‘n’ roll. And I could be living next to the greatest rock band in Portland.

I’m going to get to the bottom of this. Because that’s what I do.
