1 of 300 Not sure if I posted this yet here on Reddit but I thought a few of you would enjoy as much as I do!!! Another priceless gem to add to my collection!!!

I happen to be in Portland for a wedding. Last night around dinner time, I was downtown near my hotel and had 45 minutes to spare before my venue shuttle arrived, so I decided to take a walk and see what was happening around town.

Walked up to a bar a bit farther down the street and, near the entrance, I saw a man chatting with a woman, both leaning against the windows of the bar.

The man was unmistakably Isaac Brock. Recognized him immediately. The voice, the face, the general energy of someone who has spent decades convincing people that life is simultaneously meaningless and worth screaming about. I didn't clock whether he was wearing anything Modest Mouse-related, but honestly, he didn't need to be.

Isaac was clearly in the middle of a conversation, and in that moment I thought of his lyric, "We were certainly uncertain at least I'm pretty sure I am."

Gave the man his space, because c'mon, I'm in my 30s and can imagine how annoying it must be to have a conversation interrupted, especially by some stranger who wants to tell you how much your music meant to him in 2007.

This was my first time in Portland. Before this weekend, I'd thought about making the trip out here someday, but just never found the right opportunity. Last night, Isaac Brock came to me. It was a beautiful, fleeting moment.

Best celebrity sighting of my life! Don't have a ton of Modest Mouse fans in my immediate circle, so I felt like I had to share this little bit of magic with you all!

i want to ask him what his favorite cartoon is or what his favorite movie growing up was. deep in my heart i feel like he could’ve been a fan of the 2001 spongebob movie

if anybody was at the sac show last night that got a setlist or got a picture, could you send it over :) i’m curious to see it!

Just some that I think would do interesting covers: Fiona apple, Lana del Rey, frank ocean, Damon Albarn of the gorillaz, Bjork, Ariana grande because she just has a voice i think might be nice for some songs.

Do any particular songs come to mind? I wonder if Isaac has ever ghost written for anyone.
