Dear Santa,

On this episode of Afternoon Northwest I want John Schrag, and Dana Haynes, and Ron Callan talking about Diego Valeri, and a Cheesy Wedding Cake, and, and, Marshmallows. This Episode is a dream come true!

It's Fun/Fabulous Friday! We get to talk about cars and football and soccer... AND KFC FRIED CHICKEN TENTS GOING FOR 10 GRAND, WHAT???

Michael Allen Harrison has this awesome foundation where they donate gently used instruments to kids, families, and schools that are not able to afford instrumentss. They're having a benefit concert next Tuesday called Play it Forward that will benefit a high school in Houston that was devastated by Hurricane Harvey. He joins us to talk about it and also talk shop with the guys. Shasta Moore joins us to talk about the latest internet *drama* with Councilwoman Eudaly... I thought we were grown ups here! It's a booze-fest on Power Rankings so get your Thirsty Thursday suit on and buckle in for a great episode!

John Kitzhaber settles his ethics probe with a fine of $1k... so, naturally, we try to cast the movie. Sarah Paulson as Gov. Brown? Tom Cruise with a mustache as Kitz? WHO WOULD PLAY CYLVIA?? Vance Tong wanders down from the BizTrib HQ to talk about the proposed towers in the Pearl District. It's shiny as heck and would mean big changes to the Rose City. If Anthony Bourdain came to Portland, where do you think he should dine? We've got ideas. Madeline tries out the new Travel Oregon game and everybody in the Subaru dies except for Eric... If anybody's reading this: ERIC DID IT!!

Jeremy Christian's bail hearing is tomorrow afternoon and new details in the case were released ahead of the hearing. We go through what we know. There is an opportunity to do something incredibly meaningful; Trimet is looking for a local artist to design a permanent memorial for the MAX attack victims and the application is open. We figure out what music psychopaths are into, and Madeline gives the skinny on where to get fried pickles on NATIONAL PICKLE DAY YASS!!!

Remember that weird story out of Gresham in which the FBI raided a cadaver procurement business? Well, it got weirder and we go in-depth with John Schrag on the story. A nearby robbery is prompting Providence St. Vincents to amp-up security - and guess what? It's Craigslist related. We give you the deets on how to safely conduct a Craigslist transaction and let you know which cities have a designated safe zone. (We like the buddy system)
