The other evening I hot-footed it over the bridge to Seattle's south of downtown's district to catch some live music. It got me thinking about all of the great places to catch live music in these parts that aren't necessarily on my radar. I decided to build a refresher list based on recent new finds, places I've forgotten about and/or peer feedback.

Kitten's delight for the unexpected festivities spiked when five rough-and-tumble cowboys busted through the party gates, guns-a-blazing, looking suspiciously like Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan Earp, Doc Holiday, and some cowpoke's name I don't recall (Wild Bill Hickock, maybe?).

The gig: The Saturday Night Rebel Rockers Traveling Circus and Medicine Show. Overall, it was a pretty crowstastic* evening. Weather-wise, it was one [...]

...back to Portland and The Nines. I'm doing you a solid here. Check out The Nines the next time you are in P-town. For a drink, a bite, a place to lay your head, or even for a quick elevator ride, you are going to be glad you did.

It’s finally summer and time to capitalize on the reason why we suffer the winters here year after year. Washington State still takes me breathe away, even after 11 years.
