Portland, Oregon

What an ingenious idea it is to design a music release poster made to look like architectural drawings/plans. (Also … cassette tapes!) Spotted in Portland, Oregon, earlier this month.

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.
