Picked up tickets to see The Osees at the Crystal Ballroom in portland for Sept 8th. It's been a few years since I've seen them. Last time was in a much smaller venue.
I put my immediate neighbors on the guest list. Other folks from down the street are excited. So far, so good. We'll see after the first performance in June.
After years of talking about it I finally went ahead and built a stage in my backyard to host live music performances. I'm pretty fucking excited.
I'm currently using Side Door Access to book touring musicians to come play in my backyard.

Some of you have seen pictures of my barage in the garage beer drinking thread. I kicked up to 11 and added the venue. I spent a great deal of time thinking of a great name and came up with Backyard at the Barage. I know, catchy, right?
In the pictures you'll see wires running up the back and over the top. I have hops growing up them and will eventually have a living, green backdrop and ceiling. In the fall I plan on harvesting them and brewing beer.

Anyway, I just wanted to come here so you bastards could shit on me and bring me back down to earth.
If anyone is in the Portland area drop me a line. Would love to have a beer and listen to some music.
I got some free tickets to see The Parson Red Heads. Hadn't heard of them before so started listening. Dig 'em. Excited to see the show. Plus, its at the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland which is my favorite venue. Unfortunately, the owners are moving it to another location. Travesty.
I'm really impressed with that young man. Putting your fears out there is brave. Also, great PR for for UT and the growth he's experiencing off the field as well. I'll certainly be rooting for him. Always loved his fire.
I really enjoyed GA-20. I was baffled that they didn't have a bass player.
Also, it sounds like 8 of my Texas buddies are flying up for the MM/Pixies show. Gonna be a lot of beer, weed, and disc golf. Its going to be glorious!
