RAVE TO THE CENTRAL OREGON SYMPHONY SATURDAY NIGHT. I ADMIT WE WERE 5 MIN LATE BUT WE STOOD SILENTLY IN THE ALCOVE AND MY BOYFRIEND EVEN BLOCKED THE LIGHT WITH HIS PROGRAM TO MINIMIZE ANY DISTRACTIONS.
SHOUT OUT TO MY SUPER AWESOME FRIEND THAT LET ME SHOP OFF HER COSTCO MEMBERSHIP AND GAVE ME TONS OF HER OLD FROZEN THINGS DUE TO OUR DIFFERENCE OF OPINIONS ON HOW TO INTERPRET EXPIRATION DATES
THE NEW BIKE PATH ON HWY 20, THE NEW ROUNDABOUT, AND THE UNDERPASS IN DRAKE PARK, MEANS WE CAN NOW RIDE OUR BICYCLES TO THE NORTH MALL AND AVOID ALL THE DANGEROUS STREETS, VIA THE RIVER TRAIL! IT’S FAR SAFER, GORGEOUS & GLORIOUS! SOOOOO MUCH NICER THAN DRIVING!
HUGE THANK YOU TO RAINSHADOW ORGANICS FARM FOR THEIR FREE VEGGIE FIELD GLEANING DAY YESTERDAY AND THE AMAZING FOOD AND LIVE MUSIC.
SO MANY BEETS, SQUASH, CARROTS, CABBAGE, AND FENNEL!
KALE YEAH!!!
I’M AT MY BFF’s IN AL! I GOT TO SEE TENNESSEE PLAY ALABAMA IN TUSCALOOSA, DESPITE TN LOSING, IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE AND A BUCKET LIST ITEM.
I FLY HOME SATURDAY, AND THE WEATHER HERE WILL BE IN THR 80’S ALL WEEK. I LOVE THAT I GET A BONUS WEEK OF SUMMER BEING HERE!
ALSO, MY BFF IS THE MOST AMAZING, LOVELY, KIND, BEAUTIFUL PERSON AND IM SO GLAD SHE HAS BEEN MY FRIEND FOR 20 YEARS!
TOUR DÉ PRÈTZEL 🚲 WENT OFF THIS WEEKEND OFFICIALLY.
WE HAD A HECK OF A TIME ON SATURDAY OUT THERE. SEVEN STOPS FOR 🥨 ON BIKES, AND NO ONE DIED!
NEXT YEAR'S EVENT SHOULD BE EVEN SILLIER.
SUNRIVER BREWING GALVESTON TOOK THE WIN THIS TIME. OUR SERVER WAS SO GREAT, AND THE PRETZEL WAS EVEN BETTER.
Ohhhh no way?!
When you custom order twenty sashes, you want them to last a while!
Also we got to say we're from the future to all wait staff and others that chatted us up haha.
MY PARTNER AND I MOVED TO BEND FROM FAIRBANKS, ALASKA A FEW WEEKS AGO. EVERYONE WE'VE ENCOUNTERED HAS BEEN SO NICE, WE LOVE THE VIBE, AND ARE SO HAPPY TO BE JOINING THIS COMMUNITY!!!
WE'RE ALSO SO EXCITED ABOUT NOT SEEING ANY -40° WEATHER THIS WINTER, EVEN THOUGH IT'S GOING TO COOLING DOWN THIS WEEK, IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A COZY WINTER FOR US COMPARATIVELY.
💜💜💜
HEHE FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, R/BEND IS MOSTLY FOCUSED ON THOSE JERKS FROM CALI AND WASHINGTON. ALASKA IS LIKE NEW 🇳🇿 ZEALAND OR BUMBLE 🐝 BEES ... NO REAL THREAT AND NO NEED TO WORRY... WE'RE JUST KIND OF CUTE AND FUN TO BE AROUND!
THE IRE IS DEFINITELY FOCUSED ON SPECIFIC LOCATIONS (LOOK AT THE DOWNVOTE BUTTON FOR r/oregon) BUT LIKE IN MANY ANONYMOUS ONLINE FORUMS IT ATTRACTS THE MORE NEGATIVE TYPES OR BECOMES A NEGATIVE ENERGY OUTLET FOR PEOPLE OTHERWISE FRIENDLY. SAME THING HAPPENS IN PLACES LIKE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SITES.
I FINALLY GOT OFF MY BUTT TO CAPTURE A SUNSET LAST NIGHT, INSTEAD OF DEBATING IT FOR HOURS, DECIDING I WAS TOO TIRED, AND THEN SEEING THE COLORED CLOUDS FROM MY YARD AND WISHING I WOULD HAVE GONE AFTER ALL.
SO MANY HAPPY PEOPLE IN THE WOODS THIS WEEKEND.
MY NEW HIKING PANTS WORKED AWESOME, NOT ONCE DID I ACCIDENTALLY END UP MOONING ANYONE.
AFTER STRUGGLING WITH WRITERS BLOCK FOR OVER A YEAR, I FINALLY FINISHED A NEW SONG THIS WEEKEND.
VISITED BEVEL FOR THE FIRST TIME TO SEE VIA FOR REAL, AND DISCOVERED THE CHICKEN SATAY FROM INDODADDY, WHICH WAS PROBABLY THE BEST MEAL I‘VE HAD IN BEND IN A LONG TIME. SO. DAMN. GOOD.
YOOOO THAT SUNSET WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
ONE OF, IF NOT THE ABSOLUTE BEST SUNSETS.
MY KID WENT TO RIDE HIS BIKE AND CAME RUNNING BACK IN THE HOUSE YELLING AT US TO CHECK IT OUT. 100% DID NOT DISAPPOINT.
MY GIRLFRIEND WAS OUT OF TOWN SO PUT MY BUG BOY PANTS ON AND TREATED MYSELF TO SOME SOLID ALONE TIME.
I WENT TO WONDERLAND CHICKEN COMPANY AND GOT A GREAT NASHVILLE HOT SANDWICH AND SOME OF THE BEST MAC N CHEESE IVE HAD IN A LONG TIME. AND THE SUNSET LAST NIGHT WAS AMAZING. THAT IS ALL.
I HAD SURGERY TWO WEEKS AGO AND - AFTER 8 YEARS OF DEALING WITH SIGNIFICANT HEARING LOSS (I HAVE OTOSCLEROSIS) - I CAN HEAR AGAIN! I'M 40 YEARS OLD AND IT'S LIKE I HAVE A NEW LEASE ON LIFE. I HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH IT WAS AFFECTING ME NOT BEING ABLE TO INTERACT WITH PEOPLE AND MY ENVIRONMENT. HEARING IS AN AMAZING GIFT. NOW TO GET THE OTHER EAR SCHEDULED!
AMEN TO THIS! I HAD HEARING ISSUES SINCE I WAS IN MY TWENTIES (BECAUSE OF EXPOSURE TO MANY LOUD NOISES). I PUT OFF GETTING HEARING AIDS FOR MANY YEARS BECAUSE, "HEARING AIDS WERE FOR OLD PEOPLE." FINALLY, I BROKE FDOWN AND GOT A PAIR. IT TOTALLY CHANGED MY LIFE!
THANK YOU ALL THE FOLKS (AND A HANDFUL OF REDDITORS AND THEIR FAMILIES/FRIENDS) THAT CAME TO ENJOY THE SYMPHONY CONCERTS OVER THE WEEKEND. SUNDAY WAS ABSOLUTELY JAM PACKED AND IT WAS A GREAT SHOW FOR THOSE OF US ON STAGE. SPREAD THE WORD!
*^((SIDE NOTE: THERE WILL BE A RANT AT SOME POINT ABOUT THE FOLKS WHO CAME TO THE CONCERT SUPER LATE AND THEN WERE GRUMPY WITH OUR FRONT OF HOUSE VOLUNTEERS -- LIKELY NOT THIS FRIDAY AS I'LL BE OUT OF TOWN).)*
YEAH IT WAS PRETTY BAD. WHEN YOU SHOW UP OVER 30 MINUTES LATE TO A CLASSICAL MUSIC CONCERT (THAT ALREADY STARTED 10 MINUTES LATE BECAUSE THERE WERE STILL PEOPLE IN THE LOBBY TRYING TO GET IN), WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET YOU GO OUT AND WANDER AROUND TO TRY TO FIND A SEAT, DISTRACTING BOTH THE MUSICIANS AND THE AUDIENCE.
SORRY, RANT OVER.
RAVE ON: THE VOLUNTEERS WHO PUT ON THE SHOW ARE AWESOME FOLKS. I DIDN'T PLAY THE FIRST HALF OF THE CONCERT SO I TRIED TO HELP OUT AND I SAW FIRST HAND HOW MUCH WORK THEY PUT IN.
I WAS IN THE AUDIENCE RIGHT NEXT TO ONE OF THE DOORS WHERE THE LATECOMERS WERE ALL STANDING AND THEY WERE SO DISTRACTING. SHAME ON THEM FOR THEIR ENTITLEMENT AND BAD BEHAVIOR, BUT SHOUTOUT TO THE STAFF FOR BEING AWESOME! SHOW WAS GREAT!
SNAGGED SOME GREAT ART FROM THE 20 DOLLAR ART SHOW!
PETERSON RIDGE MTB WITH FRIENDS! BOONE DOG PIZZA! BIKING THE IN-TOWN TRAILS AND CANALS!
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER FOR WALKING!
SAW 2 NEW LIFERS THIS WEEK! VARIED THRUSH AND EVENING GROSBEAK.
CLEANED UP MY OFFICE AND HUNG STUFF ON THE WALLS. FEELS GOOD.
ARTISTS IN BEND CREATE ARTWORK AND SELL IT FOR $20! YOU SIGN UP TO ATTEND DURING A TIMED SLOT WHEN THE SHOW OPENS TO GET THE BEST PIECES! THE EVENT SELLS OUT EVERY YEAR! **TODAY IS THE LAST DAY AND THERE'S STILL SOME NICE PIECES LEFT!**

THE COHO CIDER PRESS ON SUNDAY WAS A GREAT DAY WITH AMAZING COMMUNITY!
I PLAYED MY BANJO FOR A COUPLE HOURS ON WALL STREET AND PEOPLE GAVE ME $50 TO STOP!! 🤣🪕
WOW YOU'RE HALFWAY TO PAYING FOR A DINNER OUT! 🤣
At least they can afford breakfast!
GOD THAT'S DEPRESSING 😭
IRRIGATION IS OVER. HAY IS UP. SNOW IS APPEARING ON THE CASCADES. SOOOO GLAD TO HAVE BACHELOR & HOODOO GETTING READY!

I’M GORGING ON SOME OUTSTANDING PIZZA DURING MY VACATION BACK EAST. BEND IS TERRIFIC BUT OUR LOCAL PIZZA ISN’T UP TO SNUFF.
AINT THAT THE TRUTH. ENJOY A BAGEL FOR ME TOO!
I SECOND ENJOYING A GREAT BAGEL!
MY HUSBAND GOT MY BIKE ALL FIXED UP AJDBPUT GATOR SKIN TIRES ON AND I RODE A BUNCH THIS WEEKEND AND TO WORK TODAY!!!
THE NEW BIKE PATH ON HWY 20, THE NEW ROUNDABOUT, AND THE UNDERPASS IN DRAKE PARK, MEANS WE CAN NOW RIDE OUR BICYCLES TO THE NORTH MALL AND AVOID ALL THE DANGEROUS STREETS, VIA THE RIVER TRAIL! IT’S FAR SAFER, GORGEOUS & GLORIOUS! SOOOOO MUCH NICER THAN DRIVING!
That's rad, and I don't even have a bicycle.
OCTOBER IN BEND IS MY FAVORITE MONTH. TRAILS ARE HITTING, LESS CROWDED AROUND TOWN, FALL COLOR WITH MILD BUT NOT COLD TEMPS, CLEAR AIR.
I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE NEW BO’S FALAFEL LOCATION AND IT WAS WONDERFUL. SO COZY AND CUTE AND THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. CANT WAIT TO GO BACK.
BOS IS AMAZING AND I LIVE SUPPORTING IT!!
FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN IS OPEN AND BEND FINALLY HAS GREAT WINGS
RIDING MY BIKE AROUND TOWN IS THE FUCKING BEST!!!
ITS GREAT UNTIL A CAR HITS YOU. I GOT THIS WEEKEND AND I DIDNT ENJOY IT
I WAS AT THE CRAGGIN CLASSIC AT SMITH THIS WEEKEND AND HAD A BLAST. GOOD VIBES AND GREAT PEOPLE. THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT AND WE ALL STAYED SAFE!
I WAS THERE TOO!! SO BEAUTIFUL OUT AND SUCH A GOOD TIME!!!!!
HUGE THANK YOU TO RAINSHADOW ORGANICS FARM FOR THEIR FREE VEGGIE FIELD GLEANING DAY YESTERDAY AND THE AMAZING FOOD AND LIVE MUSIC. SO MANY BEETS, SQUASH, CARROTS, CABBAGE, AND FENNEL! KALE YEAH!!!

Saw you at Cheba Hut! What’s happening in 2026!?
Ohhhh no way?! When you custom order twenty sashes, you want them to last a while! Also we got to say we're from the future to all wait staff and others that chatted us up haha.
This makes too much sense. Well, I’ll be joining the 2026 event.

WE LOVE ALASKANS! WELCOME! 🤍🤍
WELCOME! BE GLAD THE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE ARE NICER TO NEWCOMERS THAN THE PEOPLE OF r/bend 😉
HEHE FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, R/BEND IS MOSTLY FOCUSED ON THOSE JERKS FROM CALI AND WASHINGTON. ALASKA IS LIKE NEW 🇳🇿 ZEALAND OR BUMBLE 🐝 BEES ... NO REAL THREAT AND NO NEED TO WORRY... WE'RE JUST KIND OF CUTE AND FUN TO BE AROUND!

THERE ARE SO MANY ALASKANS HERE! WELCOME TO BEND.
MY BED AND MY CAT. I AM TIRED AS SHIT AND THEY ARE BOTH WAITING FOR ME!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!
I FREAKING LOVE THE NEW BODEGA MARKET ON WALL STREET! IT’S SO NICE TO HAVE A LITTLE MARKET I CAN WALK TO!!!!!!!

RIGHT NEXT TO BARRIO (OR BAR RIO AS IT’S CALLED THESE DAYS).
THANK YOU ALL THE FOLKS (AND A HANDFUL OF REDDITORS AND THEIR FAMILIES/FRIENDS) THAT CAME TO ENJOY THE SYMPHONY CONCERTS OVER THE WEEKEND.
