<br />at Willamette and 5th Avenue, next to the south wall of Red Agave Restaurant, on Nov. 16; and in Oak Alley, adjacent
<br />th
<br />to the Overpark Parking Garage, between Broadway and 10 Avenue, on Nov. 23.

<br />include videos from Eugene, Portland, and Seattle, as well as from Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Canada,
<br />Germany, and the United Kingdom.
