Confront Your Prius Envynew
Toyota's hybrid Prius is already a common sight in commuter heavy places like D.C. and L.A., but have you gotten to drive one yet? Toyota and a number of its hybrid, alternative fuel and future technology experts will be available to answer questions during the convention. Green and environmental reporters take note: The company's interactive exhibit will feature a full array of current model Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive vehicles -- the Prius, Camry and Highlander -- that can be taken for a test ride or drive. To sign up for the
hybrid ride and drive experience, talk to the reps staffing the Toyota booth in the trade show.

Free Transportation from the Airport
And we won't make you blog to qualify! If you were registered for the convention as of last week, be on the lookout for a Willamette Week envelope. For inside that envelope is a TriMet ticket good for a Max train ride from PDX to downtown Portland. The train leaves the airport every 15 minutes; after a 29-minute ride, it'll drop you at Pioneer Square, which is two blocks south of the Hilton.

C-Ville Weekly Advertising Assistant Aspires to Air Guitar Glorynew
Tim Granlund rocks a military theme and goes by the nickname of "Six String General" in his quest to reach September's Air Guitar World Championships in Finland, the Washington Post reports. The 23-year-old Granlund faces his first challenge this Wednesday in the D.C. round of the U.S. Air Guitar Championships (if you're so inclined, you can buy tickets here). He'll have 60 seconds to win over the judges and move on to the next round of competition. He gives the Post insight into his air guitar strategy and says he's working on his signature move, the "hump jump." Granlund also talks shop, describing his air guitar as "a vintage thing ... it's got one of those triangular-looking deals going on. It's pink, totally wild and crazy."
