Comedy The Night Dave Chappelle Came to Portland
Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Wed, Jul 15, 2009 at 1:20 AM
It seemed like a hoax.
There where thousands of people crammed into Pioneer Courthouse Square and no Dave Chappelle anywhere. But there were definitely plenty of jackass fans, some traumatic underage boob flashing—seriously, I really didn't need to see that—and a bunch of suburban kids with not much else to do on a lazy Tuesday night. So, yeah, Twitter failed and it was all a hoax...
...that is, until Dave Chappelle (and the world's smallest amp) showed up.
We'll have more on this later. It's late.

Fun night, too bad the speakers never got power!
However, if you were close enough Herr Chappelle would gladly respond to heckles. Which easily justified the cover charge.
Dave Chappelle is cool and all, but I wouldn't have been crammed in with 20 of those assholes, let alone hundreds, for that. That said, glad those fuckers didn't haul their asses out there for nothing?
@Will, yup....the a-holes were super annoying like you would have expected them to be. I lost it on one of them and screamed in his face to shut up....to which he eventually left.
I saw an OPB mic there at the square, so they should have some decent audio tomorrow.
We talked to Dave outside the Heathman after 2am. There was a small crowd there. He was telling jokes and talking about how crazy it got...he had apparently only told four people about the event. We left about 2:45pm and he could still be there now for all I know.
Here's another Portland Blogger. Good Pictures, and promises of good Video to come.
