on the road again

And the travelling doesn't stop there. When it was discovered that the Old 97's would be playing a post-Bumbershoot show in Seattle this past Sunday, plans for a road trip came together.

After all, who could pass up a trip to see some of Dallas' finest cowpunk-cum-britpop in Seattle, a city far cooler than provincial little ol' Portland?

Wait, I didn't mean to sound so sarcastic. Anyhow, it was a good show, as it always is with the Old 97's.

Factoid: they played the second concert I saw in Portland (on my sixth night in town), and they're probably the band my friends and I have seen the most.

Interestingly (eh, to me) enough, the only other band we've seen as much as them is Sleater-Kinney, whose namesake, a road off I-5 somewhere around Olympia, WA, was passed on the way to and from the Old 97's concert.

Now is the part where I get to go long-winded because two members of Sleater-Kinney live in my beloved Portland, which makes me cool through some sort of transitive property.
