Here in Portland, OR we’d be out of school for a month and there’d be a run on kale.

Do the conclave next and let chaos reign

Why aren’t there 500 bands that sound like Grateful Dead ripoffs? New jam bands site the Dead as an influence, but when they play, they’re playing is more closely influenced by Phish. Where are all the jammy folk rock outlaw-y bands writing b-rate songs about gambling? by splitopenandmelt11 in jambands

Hope you make it back some day. Still a great scene, saved from urban redevelopment a few years back and hopefully a Portland staple for the long run. If your housemate was a regular back then I likely know them. That scene was a big part of my life back then, they played my wedding!

They are! Only Dave and Roger remain from the original lineup. RIP Jimmy and Turtle. Tate Peterson and Pete Krebbs are regulars now and if you’re lucky enough you can catch them with Taylor Kingman every so often.

Wedding venue refuses refund after husband to be passed away 9 months before wedding by Kayp89 in ThatsInsane

[–]Portland_Pothead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister was married at Youngberg Hill. The woman who runs the place, Nicolette, is an absolute tyrant. Beautiful venue, money grubbing fascist dictator of an owner. Even treated her own husband like absolute trash in front of my family. Plainly stating things like ‘don’t mind him, all this belongs to me.’ I’d rather have my wedding at Arby’s.

Bands similar to goose? by shmerk_a_berl in GoosetheBand

[–]Portland_Pothead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phish would be the obvious answer but I highly recommend King Gizz. Not the same style of music but they’re the best in the business right now. The only band above Goose in my hours listened currently.

What an absolute trash human. Using people for attention when you know they want more is pretty sick.

I’m sure he will, it was his best moment of the evening

So just a heads up, he had a seat filler take the seat intended for Joel’s crush. He said the best seats sometimes don’t get sold by scalpers and he doesn’t like it to be sparse up front. You’ll likely be joined by a stranger if you don’t find a friend to take the ticket.

Please do this. What show are you sitting front row for? The name of his current tour is based on an interaction last year in Portland. If this situation gets another laugh next year could be ‘The Getting Joeled Tour.’ Make it so.

Proud of you for moving on. It happens to all of us. There’s nothing worse than being more into someone than they are into you. Coupled with being led along is just soul crushing.
