In case you havenāt noticed, Portland has seen its share of getting snowed ināand overall I think itās fun. I call āem āadult snow daysā: You canāt get to work, you canāt drive your car, buses cease to make their stops on time, and we all go get drunk at our nearest neighborhood bar. In fact, some of my fondest memories occurred on those ASDs. This year, however? Not so fun. Iāve been snowed in a lot. In fact, during the most recent ASD, I didnāt leave my house onceāand man, did I have a wicked case of cabin fever. I had shit to do and no way to do it! My deadline was looming, no photos were taken, and for two days I hadnāt had a single social interaction with anyone save for my roommateās cat (āsup Edie). I NEEDED TO GET OUT! Good thing my favorite Portland band had a free show at Church Bar! Theyāre called Sleeptalker, theyāre rad, and everyone should listen to them, okay?! They played with Suicide Notes, an adorable band I fell in love with the very first time I saw them at Velo Cult during 2012ās Pedalpalooza! Check āem both out at facebook.com/SleeptalkerPDX and facebook.com/thesuicidenotes. And check out these cute pics of the bands and their fans. (Thanks, snow!)
