□ Dusty set of turntables. While former Mayor Sam Adams gains ever more fame as Portland's best DJ of ritzy benefit galas, Charlie "DJ Sad Eyez" Hales project remains crated.
□ Sam Adams voodoo doll. "It's all your fault!" [stab] "You spent all our money!" [stab] "Everyone liked you because you bought them things!" [stab]
