Portland, Oregon

Portland, Oregon

Had so much fun with song titles yesterday, I thought I’d do it again with today’s post. This is from a show at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom on Sunday. As an added bonus, the band that wrote the song whose name I’ve borrowed was actually playing at the venue at the time.
