It was supposed to be the first First Thursday of 2013.

But I'm pretty sure most people were watching the Oregon Ducks playing whipping Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl.  Right after the game, I ran out to drop something off at the post office, and it was empty in the Pearl -- no traffic, no crowds, the galleries apparently closed early.

Oh, and that was a good freaking awesome game, by the way.  Was that Chip Kelly's last game at Oregon???  Tomorrow's going to be filled with a few interviews, I read.
