Red Wassenich says he coined the expression when he was making a donation over the phone to a volunteer radio station. Keep Portland Weird is one of the most famous weirdness campaign, thanks to the opening shots on the popular television show, "Portlandia." But the first weird campaign launched in 2000 in Austin, Texas with Keep Austin Weird. "Weird" campaigns exist in cities throughout the country, including Keep Santa Cruz Weird, Keep Vermont Weird, Keep Boulder Weird, Keep Erie Weird and Keep Missoula Weird. The campaigns are also about maintaining aspects of the city's culture from fashion to language that can't be found anywhere else. That's why there's a "Keep Portland Weird" campaign that works to preserve the city's "weirdness" – which in this case means uniqueness – by identifying and supporting local businesses and other non-cookie-cutter aspects of the city. Plus, if anyone wants to get married amidst the alternative pastry, that's possible, too, because Voodoo Donuts offers on-site legal wedding services followed by a coffee-and-doughnut reception. There's also a "Captain My Captain" doughnut that comes topped with that sugar cereal your mother always said "no" to as well as one called "cock and balls" that needs no further explanation other than that a cruller is involved. In Portland, there's a place called Voodoo Donuts that once served a Nyquil glazed donut and a Vanilla Pepto doughnut.
