Taryn & Paul
Arrive tonight for the weekend. Don't know if Ken will have his softball game or not since it's been cloudy/rainy for the past two days and the fields are likely to be muddy (i.e. not playable according to the field gurus). Anyway, don't think it will hinder our Rogue trip tonight. Good for Taryn, since that was on the list of things she's requested:
Other things I would like to do are have some seafood, possibily oysters if they are good, and see the Goonies house, or at least some part of Oregon coast. And of course sit on your front porch and drink martinis. And go to the brewery.
Too funny, just wait until she hears that the Goonies 20th Anniversary Celebration is actually being held this weekend in Astoria. Chunk's coming too. Don't think the 3 hour bus tour of Goonie sites is quite worth $25 a person... think they'll mind if we just follow the bus instead?

When I was up there in '01 with my boys from Tech, someone picked up a real estate book and noted that the Goonies house was for sale. At the time, it had been converted into a duplex, and was in pretty sad shape. I think it listed for $80K or something like that (definitely less than 100).
Fortunately, Greg stayed sober enough and refused to drive us to Astoria. We had decided that we could pool our resources for something like a $50K down payment among the 7 of us.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
I guess someone has fixed it up enough to offer tours. That was pretty much our (admitedly drunken) idea.
If you go, post pictures.
