The Best of Portland

I saw Ike Willis kill it during the Gemini Lunar Eclipse on Frank Zappa's birthday at the Mount Tabor Theater and the Solstice Puppet Show at Disjecta.

I missed the Monsters of Accordion at the Kennedy School this year, but The Winding Stream party was great. Interacting with and bumping into people from Kboo makes me feel like I'm part of a community with interesting taste in music and thoughtful analysis about the world we share.

I still wonder about what Bonnny Prince Billy said about needed people from the coasts to move back to places like Indiana and Kentucky so they can be good too. But for now, I feel very lucky to be where I am.
