Re: “Doug Fir Turns Five”
that was also my first time seeing the joggers... woah.
"I showed up for soundcheck and was blown away. First, by the magnitude of architectural daring. Secondly, that people were still working, doing some pretty substantial last-minute details. The clarity of purpose was everywhere, and I knew that this was the 4-minute mile-the new standard by which venues would be measured in this town."-deejay Gregarious
The dawning of Portland's most promising club started off, well, fairly dim. The opening band, the Joggers, actually started at the set time of 9 pm. That early start was simply unheard-of in this town's nocturnal-leaning live-music world, which resulted in the band playing to a nearly empty room. By the second act, a typically transcendent set by Quasi, a sold-out crowd packed the floor and, afterwards, quickly emptied it, only to be replaced by the bright young things who follow DJ Gregarious. Still, the club itself was the star of the evening. Doug Fir didn't look like anything this town had seen before, and attempts to describe the place-Twin Peaks-themed casino lounge or a 22nd-century ski chalet disco as imagined from 1953-didn't adequately summarize the venue's peculiar blend of design and comfort. A variety of factors-from the exquisite sound, its eclectic mix of top acts, early hours and no-smoking policy-has helped the club regularly draw a diverse crowd, while subtly transforming local nightlife.

I remember Quasi opening it up with the big skull like it was yesterday
