A great week!

Well, we capped off a great week of music with real stunner; Dawes @ The Doug Fir.

This was the second time Shelly and I have seen them, the last time being @ Mississippi Studios. They did not disappoint!

Last night, I ventued over to the Laurelthirst for the Tom Waits tribute night. It was incredible. Amazing songs played by most of Portland's finest. The only downer was that most everyone only played one song. I mean, there was a loooong list of people contributing to this night, but somehow I wish a few of them could've been given a little more time.
The hi-lights of last nights outing was Michael Jodell and band (Matt Brown can do no wrong).
Little Sue (love her voice!).
Stephanie Schneiderman. Hadn't seen her since she played the White Eagle on my birthday about 5 years ago (or more?). She. Has. Still. Got it! And shame on me for forgetting that. Indeed, i'm certain she never lost it!
Chris Robley is an F'ing guitar wizard.
And David Lipkind... Holy Shit, it's official; I can Not see him play without swearing! Love him!

And as good as that was, restoring my faith in music and this beautiful city(!), I can think of no better fallow-up than seeing Dawes with my beautiful wife. They are such an incredible band w/such great songs! The world is their oyster.

So that concludes 5 consecutive days of seeing and/or playing great music in my favorite city on the planet.

Tomorrow night? UFC 123. YES!!!

Thank you and good night!
