Forum MVP Rude Posted February 7, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Weather looks like shit in Portland. Rain and 40 every day...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Island Bro Posted February 7, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 You call that shit Rude? Man anything over 40 is a good deal considering that Portland has had their share of snow, freezing rain and ice storms this year. Besides, you'll be getting the 'real' NW when it's 43 and raining. Bring your rain gear for sure,,but make sure your gear is Vegan and sustainably harvested and all will work out just fine for your first trip to the NW. ☔️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roseland generally is gonna have better sound in more of the space and I believe is a bit higher capacity which, in my mind, means more dancing space on the plus side. But it just ain't the warm and fuzzy feeling of the crystal ballroom with all its elegance and history...not to mention the bouncing ballroom floor!! Well,,,I'm sure we can get the floor bouncing at the Roseland! Surprised at this change but it will still be smokin The first time I saw DSO was at the Roseland many years ago, and the venue's vibe and security were somewhat negative (like searching my hat for drugs). After that show DSO strictly played at the Crystal. Well, now they are back at the Roseland, and I'm not quite feeling that rosy glow. But hey, if the sound qual and danceability are good, then I'll feel rosy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the horrible snow and ice storms that recently paralyzed Portland, I will never complain about rain again! Rain is infinitely more doable than the snow and ice.

Yeah I hear ya...I think there will be pluses and minuses but good sound and decent dance space would be mighty fine...we'll see im guessing they'll be back at the Crystal next year...

Forum MVP Rude Posted February 9, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thanks for all the advice!!!!! Being from KY, I need to remember not to wear camo, leave the guns at home, only chew tobacco once the lights go down, don't say y'all, practice up on my valley girl speak(watched fast times and valley girl this week), bring my organic phone, pack only Patagonia brand clothing and bring spare change for the homeless kids, and avoid roaming bands of wookies who terrorize the streets after dark And a cruel twist is Melvin and terrapin flyer are playing an afterparty on night 1. Yeah like I'll have the energy for 2 shows after slothing it all winter on night 1. Night 1 is the one where you can barely walk after and you eat greasy diner food at midnight and sleep like you've never slept before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advisory Board Dr. Barry Posted February 9, 2017 Advisory Board Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 They basically don't have cops on the Southside in the isolated areas in question. The Chicago murder deal is not understood by the country. It's not about "Chicago". It's about 3 black neighborhoods that are poverty stricken, bombed out and gang infested. I suggest we all avoid speculation and opinion as to why these neighborhoods suck and how it came to be that way. But that is the case. The gangs kill each other almost exclusively. Every now and then a stray bullet hits a kid or a grandma. Then you hear some outrage for a week or two. No one cares when the gangbangers kill each other. Less of them around for the unfortunate senior citizens and kids who live there. And everyone knows who the shooters are. But no one will tell. These shootings don't result in arrests. 95% of Chicago is as safe as any other city. I image if you removed those 3 areas from the statistics Chicago would be among the safest cities. We are a segregated city. Shockingly so. Been that way since Boss Daley. And Terrapin Flyer is a local Chicago band. Without Melvin they kind of suck. With Melvin they are great. Every song with long Mel solos and him dominating even when not soloing. Well worth seeing. A can't miss. And he is really cool. If you are female bring him a glass of red wine and he will be super nice to you. Dr. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
