Nothing says latently gay like an urban cowboy line dancing to Achy Breaky Heart under his very own 1000 gallon mirror tiled cowboy hat. If that urban cowboy is you, you might be interested in purchasing one...but where, oh where in Portland could you ever find such a treasure for sale? The huge gay discoball hat store?

No sir, it's closer to home than you think. The venue formerly known as Outlaws just happened to have one. And considering their recent eviction, the landlord has decided to auction it, which, despite the lack of livestock, is fitting. I was especially tempted by one choice piece of phrasing describing the hat as "Cowboy hat that spins both ways".

The auction ends on Oct. 28th, and so far no bidders. Get a chance to own a sorry piece of Portland history by bidding on it now.

Outlaws, who, if you know your BarFly history, provided us with a constant source of entertainment at their own expense. And now, despite their recent demise, they keep on giving.
