Friday night’s Portlandia should be pretty great. Kyle McLaughlin returns in his role as Portland’s Mayor (and real Mayor Sam Adams as assistant), and it also features the Dream of the 1890s video. They released it across the web yesterday and you can see it on IFC here.

Much of the filming takes place at Olympic Provisions butchery and restaurant on SE Washington St. See pics and interview the owner on Pipeline here: The Slowest Sausage. Also, Carrie Brownstein was at East Burn on Tuesday, so perhaps she likes $2 Craft Beer Tuesdays (who doesn’t?) and knows they play her show there.

From IFC: At the start of the first season of ¬Å“Portlandia,¬Â Fred and Carrie explained that one of the best things about Portland was that The Dream of the 90s was still alive in Portland. You know, the 1990s where piercings and working in coffee shops and forming bands were actual things that people did. That dream was still alive Portland a.k.a. the city where young people go to retire. However as Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein began production of the second season of the hit comedy, they realized that they had got it all wrong. While the Dream of the 90s really was alive in Portland, it was off by an entire century. That's right, the dream that is alive in Portland right now is the Dream of the 1890s. Watch the video and you will see that once again Fred and Carrie got it exactly right. Watch video on IFC here.
