Last night, Saturday, May 10, the Obama campaign organized a "House Party" in Corvallis, hosted by the Boomer's (not the generation tag name but the family). Corvallistidbits was fortunate to be able to attend the event. The Corvallis "House Party" was but one of dozens of "House Party's" held last evening State wide in Oregon. Attendees were truly representative of all generations, both...

I have tickets to the new musical play "Spin" for tonight's performance at Oregon State University Campus Theatre. This play was written by Mr. John Frohnmayer, (Independent) who is now running for U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by Mr. Gordon Smith, Republican from Eastern Oregon. John's brother Dave Frohnmayer, is President Of University of Oregon in Eugene, and ran for...in the TV show M.A.S.H. back in the 1980's. I hear that there is a good play right now at the Corvallis High School theater as well....

I'm off to Corvallis today to watch the game in person, but if you'll be listening on the radio or on Beaver Nation Online, here's the place to chat about the game. With a huge 10-1 victory last night, the Beavers are looking to win the series today with freshmen Tanner Robles on the hill. I'll be back later tonight with a mobile post and hopefully some pictures from the game. GO BEAVERS!...

Ok, so I admit it. I actually opened my voter's ballot (surprised was I that I was indeed still registered and updated). I skimmed through, knowing full well I have no intention on casting a vote for the presidency this primary season, but still interested in the candidates looking to kick Gordon Smith to the curb. Steve Novick caught my eye several months ago. I decided to check out his website....about encouraging communities to build more "affordable" housing and yet as seen here locally in Corvallis, these affordable housing un...

Revenue sources are becoming as scarce as the proverbial "cash cow" and "golden goose". The Corvallis City Council in an effort to blunt resistance to some ideas of generating revenue for the City Coffers look as if they will settle on what is essentially a Business License Tax.After considering an increase in the hotel tax, objected to by hoteliers, and abandoning the idea of a tax on food and...

Amid the mass of coverage and other materials (for those living in-state, e-mails on top of everything else) from the presidential visits today, we'll draw some attention to a piece in the Corvallis Gazette Times which actually included transcript of a short interview with Barack Obama. It's a well-rounded piece of coverage from the stop at Albany (which is about 10 miles from Corvallis)....

From the Corvallis Gazette-Times online, we have a reporter (Matt Neznanski) asking, gasp, real questions about real issues! Just after Barack Obama’s campaign stop in Albany Friday, Gazette-Times reporter Matt Neznanski had five minutes to ask questions one-on-one of the candidate. Here is a transcription of that conversation. Gazette-Times: You talked today about renewable energy....

Today was errand day. With the cost of gas going through that proverbial roof, I'm trying to take the "do it all at once" approach. First stop was Winco. I was a bit surprised to see their bins of rice completely empty. Six of their large bins--completely out. A green sign eerily letting us know the warehouse is completely out. I asked one of the bulk section workers when new rice would be...
