After returning from Boston last week, I drove to Vashon Island for Thanksgiving dinner with my family and then headed down to Portland, Oregon to visit my friend Alex before he moved to Phoenix. We painted the town red, starting with the Mississippi District, where I found this 1979 Patrick Hernandez LP featuring the international disco hit "Born to Be Alive." I actually came across this LP in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in July for $5, but decided not to pick it up there. I'm glad, since the CD & Game Exchange on Mississippi had it for just a buck.
