OMG WE'RE ON TV!— Last night's episode of Portlandia transformed NE Alberta bar the Station into the Y2K Cafe, a theme restaurant bedecked in yellow Livestrong t-shirts, Gore/Lieberman campaign posters, and Bondi Blue Apple iMac G3s. Eater National has video of the sketch, which see the mayor explaining the concept: "You put something on a little plinth, you put a light on it, and people freak out. People love eating around nostalgia." [Eater National]
