Thousands gather for Portland Pride parade Sunday
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Portland Pride celebrations had a stormy start Sunday, but the brief downpour wasn’t enough to rain on the parade.

Primus, Coheed And Cambria Stir Up Mosh Pit Of Heavy Metal Nostalgia In Oregon [Photos/Videos]
A diverse crowd gathered near Portland, OR on Friday for a concert at McMenamins Edgefield featuring Primus and Coheed and Cambria. When it was announced back in February, the co-headlining tour took some by surprise, seeing as Coheed’s heavily conceptual prog rock falls outside Primus’ psychedelic music festival milieu, though upon reflection, the pairing makes perfect sense. Primus has always had a strong footing in both the heavy metal world and jam band scene thanks to Les Claypool‘s idiosyncratic style and eclectic taste. The band recently toured with A Perfect Circle and Puscifer—both fronted by Tool singer Maynard James Keenan—and its heavy metal street credit may have actually peaked around the time that Coheed blew up on a national level with help from games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, which also featured tracks from Primus.

Beaverton's Dennis Connors has turned tragedy into triumph in his life beyond the armed forces
Beaverton’s Dennis Connors has a unique story, but at the same time he doesn’t. The former Marine and war veteran has lingering effects from his time defending our country, and further effects from a stroke he suffered four years ago. But while still coping with the sadly common residuals from an experience many can’t relate, along with the tragic results of a compromising health scare, the 39-year-old has made the most of his circumstances, much of which he attributes to a sport that’s now taking...
