I hope you are too. On to a few suggestions for the first First Friday Art Walk […] It’s been a busy year for the Portland music scene. So much has changed (go ahead, dig through the archives and check out all the album releases, music videos, store and venue openings and closings, musicians moving away, and new bands forming)! We redesigned the site, presented a bunch of shows (including a free summer […] I’m not actually in Portland today (hopefully I can get back Tuesday!) but for those of you that are – and probably not at work but looking to get outside before you don’t have a choice – our friends at Rogues Gallery are partying all day with hot Root liquor and vinyl at 41 Wharf.
