Drunk Here's a Post Wherein I Ask a Favor

I know that many Blogtownies are drunkards. Not only drunkards, but helpful drunkards. I have a favor to ask.

I’ve been given an assignment to track down infamous regulars, one for each quadrant of the city. For the most part, I’ve been driving to various haunts, asking bartenders if they know of any interesting characters that I could profile. I have a few leads, but I thought, “Why not ask the people I both foolishly trust and love unconditionally?” That’s you.

The requirements are simple:

They should be known around your particular neighborhood's bars, dives, and dark alleys.
They should have some way for me to contact them.
They should be able to answer a series of questions in a semi-coherent manner.
They should not be afraid to be photographed in natural light sometime tomorrow after noon.
It would help if they were in NW or SW Portland

I could buy them a beer for their time.

Email me with suggestions, including where they can be found and how I might get in contact with them. It would be good if they know why I’ll be contacting them. Your help is appreciated.

A sad step backward for the Mercury.
