I wasn't aware of the Blissful Revolution's history - the site doesn't really provide much background, so I had no way of knowing what sort of events you've been having since 2004. I definitely look forward to checking out your Bazaars, as HillyTown.com is always a strong supporter of the arts and independent music. Make sure you include us on your media lists so we can have all the latest info when it becomes available! Thanks for the info, Marc.

The Blissful Revolution Arts and Crafts Bazaars have been putting on shows "suspiciously similar" to the 2008 Picnic event in and around Portland since 2004. The idea of an all local DIY craft fair with live music was certainly not a new idea when Blissful started doing it 5 years ago, and the creator of Blissful was extremely excited to welcome the new Picnic event, spreading the word to her entire contact list...in her mind, the more people showcasing & celebrating the DIY craft scene, the better. An admirable sentiment. Just a quick note in regards to your comment about “another, suspiciously similar (to Picnic), event will be happening in Lincoln Park this Spring instead”.

Back to pop-punk screamo kids when this gets over. And I love that the main demographic is going to completely change for that one night. Back to pop-punk screamo kids when this gets over.
